Sounds like Norwich have rejected it.

Gonna play out til end of window probably.

He’s withdrawn himself from todays Norwich squad

Apparently he travelled with the squad and pulled out just before pre-match meeting. Ouch. Pretty fuckin appalling considering he came through their academy.

Nixon saying we've had a bid of £15m rejected by Palace for Rak-Sakyi.

If true it's an odd move by us as Palace have stated he's loan only.

That’s one straight out of the Venkys playbook

Maybe that’s a tad harsh. But it’s starting to look like panic stations.

Rowe has very publicly withdrawn himself from Norwich’s first squad (a move Farke wouldn’t have been impressed with?). Why? Because he prefers the OM move? Has this caused us to try and nudge ahead for Rak-Sakyi? Certainly looks like it. Which makes the statement that we were prepared for Summerville and/or Gnonto departures look a bit flimsy.
Personally, I don’t see the need for another winger with the squad as it is. There’s more than enough cover. I’d rather get some more defensive cover and get an 8/10 in the building.

And a keeper.

I guess it's possible Norwich won't budge so we thought we might aswel have a pop at our first choice target for that kind of money, before considering matching the asking price for Rowe. Though obvs I've no idea.
