City recruitment shows Knapper’s and Thorup’s new direction
It has been a transfer window that has contained drama, sagas and optimism – but it is perhaps proof that Ben Knapper and Johannes Hoff Thorup are shaping a new Norwich City.
It has been a transfer window that has contained drama, sagas and optimism – but it is perhaps proof that Ben Knapper and Johannes Hoff Thorup are shaping a new Norwich City.
Johannes Hoff Thorup’s start as Norwich City’s manager has been challenging, with his work on the training ground overshadowed by a series of transfer-related issues off the pitch.
Just one point in two games is currently the least of his worries, with Norwich’s attack in line to be decimated before the window closes on August 30th.
With that in mind, at Football League World we have detailed three players who face an uncertain end to this transfer window for Norwich City.
First on the list is Jon Rowe, who has been subject to a great deal of transfer speculation this month.
Crysencio Summerville’s departure from Leeds United earlier in the window, saw the Whites turn their attention to Rowe.
Since then, we have seen Rennes and Marseille join the party, with the latter having two of their first three bids rejected by the Canaries. However, the third time may have proved a charm for
For Rowe, this situation is ideal. The young winger is currently training with Norwich’s U21 squad, having not appeared in the first games of the season for the senior team.
Norwich are believed to be keen on keeping Rowe, but his actions could force their hand before August 30th. One thing for sure, is that the departure of Rowe would be a devastating loss for Hoff Thorup.
Another player who is desperate to leave Carrow Road is Abu Kamara.
The youngster spent last season on loan at Portsmouth and starred with eight goals and 10 assists as he helped Pompey secure their place in the Championship for this season.
