Absolutely. We only have 25 players under contract anyway. Each OUT needs an IN otherwise there is minimal point to it.

Norwood purchase seemed like a knee jerk reaction as it occurred a day or so after the Pritchard M25 scenario.
Does not offer anything different to what we already had in CM.
I would sell but if loan only option fine.

To be fair to him he he set up Hemed's goal very well in the friendly they other day after winning the ball in a crunching tackle.
Entirely unrelated - they play completely different roles.
(and more specifically, Norwood was photographed training in an Albion kit before the Pritchard deal collapsed.)

Norwood is a very good player, I like him a lot and would in my opnion be more suited to the premier league.
However we do have Stephens, Kayal,Sidwell and Gross ahead of him in the pecking order for a central role, plus a new signing i am sure, a loan until Jan seems like a good idea

If we are going to be playing 4 5 1 this season as predicted, I can actually see Norwood being a very important player for us this season.
There is always one player who is a surprise package at this level and it good very much be Norwood

I actually disagree with this. He was bought in because he is different to our other central midfielders. His passing is fantastic when right and he has a good range. The issue is he's not very strong in the tackle and so struggled at times in a two man central midfield (Huddersfield away being an example). However, in home games, when we needed to break teams down he provided a good option off the bench (and was a decent option when starting in the first few months).
Those who criticise Norwood forget what a big part he played while Kayal was out and Stephens wasn't hitting top form in early season.
Having said that, I am not against loaning him out but we definitely shouldn't do so until we've bought a new central midfielder in.

I agree, I think he would probably flourish in a game that wasn't as in your face as the Championship. Whether that is good enough in the Premier League is open to debate though.

Norwood was a decent signing for us in the Championship but does anyone really think he'll do better than what we have already in the squad?

i thought Naylor had said a few weeks back that we would listen to offers for him or am I making that up?
With the exception of Sheff Wed away, not how I remember it at all.

Under-rated as in decent (not good or amazing) but the vast majority make out as if he's rubbish and not even any good in the Champ...... yet was in the team of the season at that level 12 months ago.
He moved to a bigger club who COULD have utilised him but decided to make him a bit part player due to our existing talent. He's still an asset but one we don't need to use currently if signing a new midfielder so best all round if he goes out on loan. If he plays regularly in the Champ I think it will increase his value if we wish to sell him in 12 months time OR show he's worth a shot (at some role not as a starter) back here once Sidwell is 12 months older.

I agree, certainly not rubbish. Just average.

Never thought too much of Norwood.
Always a bit too close to Crystal Palace for my liking.

That and the St.Pancras line seems to grind to a near standstill on the approach and throughout.

Blimey, must be something simmering then.
