That cameo was the best of him

I want to try some balance. He's been good enough for Arsenal, so he has ability, but his pace is shocking, which could be due to fitness level at the moment. He's been thrown to the wolves in some ways. Gareth Barry wasn't fast, but he made a big difference with this experience and passing. He might surprise us

He didn’t play for arsenal.

Only got minutes in meaningless games.

I think people wrote him off long before he kicked a ball, and his unfit cameo has just added to the confirmation bias.

Good player, but until he's fit he shouldn't be anywhere near a football field.

Did people not see him for Brentford for years? He's an adequate Premier League midfielder. There's not much exciting about him, he doesn't have many standout qualities and he's a bit slow. But he is a decent all rounder and a good leader.

He'd be a good squad player but clearly Moyes sees him as a starter.

With Thomas Frank as his coach, Norgaard likes a game or two

I didn’t write him off.

I was just realistic about the type of player we were bringing in.

At best he’s going to be a decent squad player for us.

Nothing in his career suggests he’s going to be a game changer like a lot of people have said.

He won't be a game changer but he'll be a really good sitter who reads the game well.

I think most people's fear isn't Norgaard playing, it's the idea of him and Garner starting together, which is a very valid concern.

33 in March, big ask for a player of that age with no pre-season and a lengthy injury to slot into a new midfield which typically has 40% possession.

He was only cheap, so was probably a bit of a punt, but I dont want to see him taking 10-15 games getting up to speed.

A cheap, aging player is right up Moyes street while £70-80m worth of young players we've invested in sit watching from the bench.

This is absolutely nailed on with Moyes, unless Norgaard keeps getting reinjured, which is a pretty grim thing to be kind of wishing on

Will he even be that though?
