BlackFox 32 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/exclusive-tottenham-and-leicester-city-monitoring-norwich-city-midfielder/ He's young, versatile and has PL experience. Looks like it could be a good signing and not that costly. Just rumours??🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foxes96 238 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January Not 100% sold on Cantwell but is young and English and would provide decent cover for both Barnes and Maddison. Although would prefer Otavio for that role and likely a cheaper alternative as well. Oh and has it been mentioned.. he’s Brazilian 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post foxfanazer 13,305 Posted 26 January Popular Post Report Share Posted 26 January Makes James Maddison look hench. Heavy gust of wind at the KP and we'd lose him 1 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Les-TA-Jon 1,159 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January Not convinced, especially since we didn't actively pursue him in the summer and no other PL move materialised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lcfc sheff 1,380 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January I quite like him, he’s got something about him lots of confidence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pliskin 2,784 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January I think he would be a decent squad player for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

casablancas 973 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January Tar both. Think on that I’d prefer the Brazilian lad and he’s probably work out cheaper and has UCL experience. But as usual I know nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sdb 2,747 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January Squad player at best. Wouldn't want us to spend big on him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crocyfox79 14 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January Not the criteria we’re looking at tbf has he played for Norwich this season in the championship yes ok demari gray could be gone to bayer Leverkusen for me a striker is a priority Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AS1413 27 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January No thanks. There might be potential in there but wouldn't want to be the club that risks trying to find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kent-Fox 58 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January (edited) If we wanna be a top 4 established team, then this is not the signing that gets me excited. Edited 26 January by Kent-Fox Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kante was scouted and watched playing for Caen, much like Mahrez with Le Havre and Vardy for Fleetwood. I would argue we were well aware of their talent and potential prior to purchase. Cantwell is a known figure in English football and hasn't impressed anyone else thus far. I'd also argue that we would be paying a figure for Cantwell which would reflect an established, quality premier league player (which he isn't) rather than the minimal fee's we paid for others mentioned.

Perhaps I'm being a little harsh and snobbish - just for me personally, I'd like to see us aim for something a little better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure if we were going for him we would have carried out the same level of scouting and analysis as we did with all our players. We'd hardly be going for him on a whim.

We'd hardly be going for him on a whim. I was referring more to the 'risk' of unearthing someone potential and the fact that those names were unheard of by most of the footballing world.

Well you seem to be suggesting that he hadn't been scouted etc. But hey it's not worth a big debate so I'll leave it there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
