Norwood going will have no bearing on our ability to sign a player in January. A) we are a Premier League club any transfer fee we recoup for him will be a mere drop in the PL money ocean. B)He isn't part of the 25 man squad so selling him doesn't free up a spot in the squad.

It was confirmed he'd join Sheff Utd fully in January when he went on loan back in August, the only reason it wasn't a a full transfer then was because of the early transfer window closure for permanent deals this season.

Surely it will release some funds on the wage bill, I would doubt Sheffield United were paying all of his wage. Once we get Suttner and Schelotto off the wage bill I would imagine these three joint wages could fund one loan player for the remainder of the season.
Good luck to Norwood a good player who never quite made it for us.

Depends on how much of his wages are being paid by Sheff Utd! He was signed by us as a championship player and no doubt he is on that level of wages so it may well be that Sheffield are paying 100% of his wages so no saving to us.

How long was left on his contract, was any money exchanged or was he a free?

His contract was due to expire at the end of this season. I doubt it will be anything more than a nominal fee for him.

I would hope to get some money for him, he has been playing very well for them.

Although it would appear AZGull has a bit of updating to do!

I do not think there will be any additions in January as we are not desperate for incoming. but possibly some going out on loan etc.

Correct, no movement in or out would be my guess. Chris Hughton has already indicated that it would be a very quiet transfer window anyway.

Yes he has, and he has always been a very good player at Championship level. His days with us were numbered the moment he was surfed over the fans heads on that Falmer to Brighton train, the day we won promotion to the Premier League.

Seeing the way Sheffield United are tearing up the Championship table right now, I wonder if Oliver Norwood could be on his way to creating an unwanted record (as well as setting himself up as a quiz question for years to come)........

"Which player won promotion from the Championship three years running, but never kicked a ball in the PL?"

Although if the Blades do go up, though, they may well keep him, I guess - they may not have the resources to afford to move him on and replace him as soon as they reach the PL like Fulham and us did.

Good for him.

Albion Dan · Mar 26, 2019

Sheff utd work colleague was raving about him a few weeks ago. Glad to see he's doing well.

Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo · Mar 26, 2019

On course for a third straight season being promoted to the Premier League. Will he finally get a game at this level next season?

It is good to see a player playing at his best level and doing it well, rather than struggling at a higher level.

Farehamseagull · Mar 26, 2019

Saw some talk about the best player in the Championship a few weeks ago and Norwood’s name was mentioned a few times. Good for him.

I agree, it is horrible to see anyone struggling out of his depth !

Good for him. He did ok for us but would have got limited game time. Good move for all.
