Ill chip in here as someone living in the metropolis that is Norwich now, and having been to a few of their games and being surrounded by City fans (who in the vast majority are good guys) :

Aarons - looks experienced beyond his years. Likes a 1-2 give and go. Very attack minded and pacey. If a side wanted to play with wingbacks this fella will do the business for you. Suffers massively in the air though, most teams worked that out this year and at set pieces he was getting beaten up by experienced centre backs. Perhaps another manager would have gone man to man marking but Farke seems to prefer zonal marking which resulted in them conceding a lot of goals.
Godfrey - originally a midfielder, converted to centre back. Only played there because at one point Zimmermann / Klose / Hanley were all injured so all their experience went. Hes got an engine, committed - although time will tell if hes a centre back full time.
Cantwell - lively, likes a slide pass, again likes a 1-2 give and go. Absolutely no fear to get stuck in as well. Thought of as the next Maddison for Norwich but is more of a "Dele 2018" player if that makes sense. Will definitely attract attention.
Buendia - apparently stroppy behind the scenes, thinks he's already star quality? Can certainly turn it on and will get a move elsewhere but also prone to losing the ball. Fans want to see him all the time though as he can create.

Sorry if ive bored you, but I could see Spurs interested in any of the first three at the right price largely because of the HG factor. Buendia would not be an upgrade on any of the other AMs we have on the books. Aarons to me is the most exciting prospect but in a 4 man defence he'd be the new Yedlin - for anyone playing 3 CB's like Wolves or Sheff U have done hed be excellent.

EDIT : I forgot Jamal Lewis from the young players brigade. Again looks better going forward, I cant shake off the feeling that his style is very much like Kyle Naughton though... knock it and cross it but positionally sometimes caught up field away from play, might be their system though. Declared for NI so not sure what that means for HG status.

Thanks. How do you rate Zimmerman? I have liked what I have seen of him.
 
Jose Mourinho reveals how he is motivating the players for the Leicester and Palace games: "I'm telling the players, two more victories to win the Europa League... It's just a feeling to try to motivate the boys because of course of level is Champions League."


Love that!!!!

Well it shits all over telling us winning a trophy is impossible, and merely a vanity anyway...
