Norwich want Will Vaulks for £7m - allegedly

Re: Norwich want Will Vaulks for £7m - allegedly

I despair sometimes at some peoples attitude to players. Vaulks has been consistently good this season, man of the match on a couple of occasions and a big part of our jump up the table under MM. Saying you don't rate him because he picks up yellow cards doesn't make sense. That has nothing to do with his ability. He is a combative midfielder which is something many teams want and picks up yellows as a result but has only been sent off once in his senior career. Cristiano Ronaldo has been sent off 11 times and booked over 120 times in his career but no one would say he was over rated.

Are you really making a comparison between Vaulks and one of the greatest ever players to walk this planet?

Did you really just compare Vaulks and Ronaldo?😂😂😂

Have to disagree Paul. He is not good enough for the Wales midfield. If he was playing last night he would have picked up at least a yellow and would have offered no composure on the ball. I do not rate him at all.
Spedger

He's more than good enough for Wales. We had Allen - championship, Ampadu - soon to be championship, morell who replaced Allen - bit part at Luton - Matt Smith on bench - on loan at Doncaster, Johnny Williams on the bench - bit part at City.

He's not Pirlo but for Wales he can do more than a decent job surely, particularly when most in his position are pretty similar, tidy enough on the ball without really influencing either end of the pitch.

I can’t see Vaulks going straight into the side for Tuesday If he is called up Spedger, I was thinking more in terms of him being brought into the squad if Joe Allen is ruled out - when you look at some of those who were picked in front of him though, it’s hard to see why he missed out.

Think you've missed the nuance in jumping to defend one of our best players this year. Maybe if I can follow your lead in using extreme examples: Roberto Carlos wouldn't immediately get into a Sam Allardcye team based on what Allardyce wants from a full-back but Roberto Carlos is obviously a fantastic player.

I think you might find that Roberto Carlos is probably a bit too old, even at 47, for a Sam Allardyce team..... :hide:

Off topic but I remember being stunned by his free kick at le tournoi as a 8/9 year old, one of those goals that just stays with you.

Every other time I saw him take one, expecting magic I think he hit the stands.

Re: Norwich want Will Vaulks for £7m - allegedly

While I think the 7m is ludicrous hes very unlucky not to be in the squad when you see some of those selected.

Warnock would give him 3 years with an option to extend.

Re: Norwich want Will Vaulks for £7m - allegedly

Vaulks has played well for us recently, but I would be surprised if Norwich see him as a Premier League player. The Sheffield United link makes more sense, although I'm wondering if this story is his agent trying to get him a better contract from us.

Spedger

That's a fair comment but the alternatives are Levitt, who couldn't get in the Charlton team and has been very, very poor when he's played; and Matt Smith who is playing in League One or Sheehan in League Two. If we are hanging on, and assume Morrell and Ampadu will start vs the Czechs on Tuesday, I'd much rather Vaulks coming on if Ampadu got a knock than playing a Luton reserve and a League One player who are both extremely inexperienced.

Vaulks is far from perfect but his absence from the squad is curious to say the least.

Re: Norwich want Will Vaulks for £7m - allegedly

Leaving aside the Mail’s extraordinary claim that the player is suddenly worth £7 million, the question that occurred to me while reading that report was why on earth would a Premier League-bound, possession-based, passing side like Norwich want Will Vaulks?

The answer has eluded me.
