PieFacE Posted August 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think he'll sign for a similar fee that we were bidding for ESR with. Something in the range of £25-35m with addons/sell on clauses etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KangarooVillan Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I don’t understand the hype about Cantwell at all. Decent striker of the football, but his technique and passing at times seems wild and gangly. what’s the sales pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 2 minutes ago, hippo said: Does he play centre mid or a wide midfield role ? He's played in left midfield pretty much every game in the last 3 seasons. Also has a couple higher up the pitch as LW or on the right in midfield. According to transfermarkt...

villaglint Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) He’s technically skilful and very mobile but not a strong creator of chances. If he joins as Jacks replacement then all the chance creation falls to Buendia and we are in the same boat as before. Trouble is all the LW or CAM with decent chance creation stats are going to be super expensive but I guess we’ve got a few quid to drop in these positions now.

It's the Grassmaster from Desso Sports at Carrow Road, a popular hybrid of natural grass and artificial fibres. This might give you a better idea of what that actually looks like in practice; Villa Park also uses this system, as do the majority of the top football stadia in the world - it's also found at top Rugby stadiums too. Why do you ask? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Think with our team and facilities we can offer him, bit of strength and conditioning , he could be a hell of a player Edited August 5, 2021 by pete101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I was only joking. I don’t think he’s terrible I just don’t think he’s right for us at the moment. Although he’s only 23 so if we sign him I will obviously get behind him fully.

John Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Looks like we might be getting the best of the Norwich midfield back together and that might not be a bad thing... I had always thought that he looked decent in their games at Villa Park. So is it to be JWP or Todd or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey too, his creation starts are arguably better than Greal-hiss in some respects! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Again, I just can't see it. If we play Watkins, Buendia and Bailey behind Ings, we still have El Ghazi, Traore and Bidace as back up. Just can't see this signing pushing a £30 million signing to the bench. I don't think We're at that stage yet. Thats when you have European football and can keep players happy.

Don’t see that in the data but happy to be proved wrong his SCA per 90 was just over 4 last year compared to 6 for Jack. Previously it’s been in the 3s which is Hourihane/Traore territory.

I saw a comparison chart somewhere and was pleasantly surprised, I can't remember where I saw it though or what exactly the stats were. If he can get anywhere near Greal-hiss in terms of performances and with Buendia we should hopefully be better off. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
