Josh still Norwich MOTM with a goal and assist, but wish he had buried one of his other shots, especially the first which just went wide. He and Haji could have continued their EFL goal scoring competition from last season. Haji already ahead in that department.
The goal: JOSH SARGENT’S FIRST GOAL OF THE SEASON IS A FANTASTIC LEFT FOOTED FINISH 👏🔥(via @CBSSportsGolazo) pic.twitter.com/Y4rIuVOHCU— USMNT Only (@usmntonly) August 17, 2024
NCFC need to stop conceding so much if they want to push for promotion. Conceding 4 goals in two games isn’t good enough.
I have it from a birdie in the sky that this may have been Sargent's last game at Norwich, and that, indeed, the deal with Bournmouth is nearly clinched. The person telling me this seems very believable and has no reason the BS me. pic.twitter.com/4m6i2Xmpoq— Derek Richey (@BoomerRichey) August 17, 2024 I'm not saying I always trust fellow BS posters, but...
I would've guessed Brentford given that Ivan Toney appears to be on the move and their new striker picked up what looks to be a long-term injury, but Bournemouth also needs help up top.
Selfishly, I like it when YAs are grouped into the same team so I don’t have to watch as many footie matches, and this goes for all the top leagues. Hopefully this deal goes through.
Sargent going to Brentford or Bournemouth still means you only need to watch one team regularly, because god knows Adams won't play more than 10 games all season.
Sarge has proven himself top Championship quality over a large enough sample size. Time for a test in a top league again. Not sure I love the EPL for him but that’s ok.
Is Norwich admitting they don’t have enough to compete for promotion? Seems a little odd to sell their best player.

Yes but Brentford suck. Not at the level of Chelsea, but they are still bad human beings. Bournemouth are mostly harmless.
On the "Sargent to Leeds" front, LUFC are now in major need of another forward: 🚨 Georginio Rutter officially leaves #LUFC for Brighton & Hove Albion. Deal worth £40 million. Leeds say no further payments or sell-on owed to Hoffenheim, despite reports in Germany. Club thank Georginio for his 'exemplary attitude & professionalism'.https://t.co/mAYjvYHx6g— Joe Donnohue (@JoeDonnohue) August 19, 2024
Well... they purchased him for 35m, but still, I thought he was gonna be an albatross for them! He found his level last season, but I'm a little surprised to see him moving up to the prem. BTW, Rutter's last two moves were both "club record purchases". Kid has a killer agent.
Bournemouth sell Solanke. They're making enquiries! Leeds sell star forward! They're interested in Sargent! He's going to be linked to any team in need of a a forward between now and 11.45 on the 30th
TBF he's been linked to them both in the past 6 months or so. Edit: dug up a report from May connecting Sargent to both Leeds and Bournemouth https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwic...ansfer-rumours-farke-chasing-sargent-reunion/
Rutter was a punk. C'mon 9'ers, let's get Sarge in there. Joseph isn't ready for the 9 but will make a great forward partner for Sarge.
