Edingleyfox Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 Confident lively player who was a threat when he played against us. I think he would be a good addition and will get a few goals as well.He won't be cheap but he is young and I would be in favour. I'm pretty sure the manager will have spoken to Maddison about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse93 Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 If we're to sign a winger from Norwich I'd rather us go for Hernandez, we need wide players who can take it past a man. Think Cantwell is overrated personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 Useful replacement if Maddison goes, but it would be a downgrade ultimately. Be a good realistic signing for Newcastle or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 I quite like Cantwell and he would undoubtedly improve under our coaching but I'm not convinced he's quite what we need. I think we need to invest on the wings and up front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 (edited) People seem to think we are going to be throwing big money around this summer are going to be disappointed in my view, unless we sale Chilwell. We need to find value in the market, at a decent price this lad could prove to be a good signing. 6 goals and 2 assist in a struggling side at the bottom of the table, compare well to Maddison 6 goals and 3 assists in a team fight for the CL spots! His scored against the better sides, Chelsea, Wolves, Man City, Arsenal etc. 5 minutes ago, Bryn said: I quite like Cantwell and he would undoubtedly improve under our coaching but I'm not convinced he's quite what we need.

turtmcfly Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 I think about how other fans seem to see Gray, and wonder if the same 'skewed sample' is at play with attitudes to Cantwell. The aggregated opinion of people who watch him for 90 minutes, game after game, might be instructive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if perceptions skewed a bit by the attention he got at beginning of season when he bagged a few goals. Seems decent technically and works hard, but would rather try and sign a wide man with a bit of x factor. Not sure Cantwell would ever be a game changer, nor immediately and significantly improve our starting xi, which is what we need from a wide man imo. Pretty much agree with this. I don't really buy the link, I just don't see us buying another player who plays fairly advanced through the middle. Tielemans, Madders and to a lesser extent Praet are all best quite high up the pitch, why would we add another player in the same mould who doesn't improve us? And that's before you factor in Perez, Barnes and Gray, none of whom are really wingers but often play in wide positions for us. I just don't see it at all.

scinnell Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 Rather keep Gray than sign Cantwell. We should be signing players to improve the first team, not squad fillers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleFox Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 (edited) I’d be happy signing him but in all honesty, and I hate myself because he’s a nobber, Id rather sign Grealish. I honestly think Grealish is a better player than Cantwel, Maddison, Mount, etc. He’s like Morrisey or Mel Gisbson, an absolute twat but annoyingly really fvcking good.

Hernandez has struggled to even get into the Norwich team, never really impressed me when ive seen him playing, championship player at best in my opinion Maybe we should just steer clear of any Norwich players, we probably should be targeting a higher quality of player if we want to stay up and around the top 6 in the coming years.

Fox in the North Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 No harm at all in signing a young player like Cantwell, has a lot of potential. We need the attacking depth too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time the club are not desperate to sell to survive so like yourselves with Maguire Norwich will play hardball and demand a big fee. Agreed but then your better players are not going to be happy with championship football after tasting the prem. I think you'll lose more than you think.

The amount of times he gives the ball away in his own half is unacceptable for any top flight team. He has no awareness of the game around him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 I really like Cantwell. His touch and dribbling ability as well as passing is something we simply don't have in wide areas. He's the sort of player we need to control more games. I was extremely impressed when Norwich came down to the KP. He barely gave the ball away all game which is something Barnes, Gray, Albrighton and Perez do regularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
