Wonder how Nathan Ake will develop. Really bad luck for him to not get a game in the national team. One of the more talented defenders we've had in the last decade, but simply not as good as Van Dijk and De Ligt. I'd give him a shot at left back though.

Digne. Best LB in the league after Robertson

Maddison. Genuinely a possible Man Utd target.

Interested to see how Felipe Anderson goes, another top season and he'll be off to a CL club, either in PL or abroad.

A lot of these mentions are a season too late...

Quite interesting to see how Ben Godfrey develops. He's tall, strong, quick, very good ball player, half Norwich's attacks seem to go through him. On the other hand Norwich are shite at defending so hard to know how good he is. You'd have to assume at 21 he's a lot of room for improvement though.

Todd Cantwell from Norwich is also an interesting player apparently. Haven't really watched Norwich much though.

Of the guys I've seen mentioned in this thread, I'm impressed with Haller being so physically strong and mobile and Digne causing real trouble down the left when Bernard tucks in. Danjuma seemed to have quick feet, even for a winger.

Less so with Billing, who is big and skilled but seems to have little sense of creativity or hunger in terms of moving the ball forward. He's not really a ball-winner, either. He's like a poor man's Rabiot. Lots of potential still because the only player his size in the Prem I can think of who moves as smoothly is Loftus-Cheek.

Speaking of tall mids, I wonder if Dwight McNeil would be a better central midfielder, he does a lot of things well and is a left-footer playing left wing which basically nobody does anymore on big teams.

Phil Billing at Bournemouth... Think he'll be a very good signing for them

I like him as well. I always wondered why he never got consistent game time with Huddersfield.

He probably should've been sent off against Villa the other week, though.

The way he can pull off a la pelopina under pressure really reminds me of D.Silva. Plus, like D.Silva, he's very creative, too.

Not only him but Grealish and Douglas Luiz, too. I think all 3 are good.

Jota was probably their standout player against Everton the other night, though. Wesley looked much more comfortable up front compared to his first two performances, too.

Everytime I've seen Norwich this season Cantwell has been involved in something. Reminds me a bit of Brooks at Bournemouth.

He had a big falling out with Siewert apparently.

Not sure if it's been posted yet but Emi Buendia from Norwich is class. Reminds me a lot of Santi Cazorla in terms of playstyle, though he's not as two-footed and has a bit more about his physique.
