Norwich City head coach Daniel Farke says that is pleased with the club’s business in the transfer window so far this summer.
The Canaries are preparing for a season in the Premier League after winning the Championship title and securing promotion back to the top-flight after a three-year absence.
Since lifting the trophy at Villa Park in May, Norwich have made four first-team signings in the window.
Patrick Roberts and Ralf Fahrmann have both joined the club on season-long loan loans from Manchester City and Schalke respectively. Josip Drmic has also signed on a free after leaving Borussia Monchengladbach and Sam Byram has come in from West Ham for a fee in the region of £750k.
Speaking to The Pink’Un, Farke said this:
Of course as a head coach you will cry for more quality and more options. We are not naïve, the more you spend the more quality you can bring in and it makes the task of staying in the league easier.
This is our way. We had to pay for some dues in the past for players, to also pay for facilities at the training ground and the academy. We have so many amazing and exciting young players who have committed to the longer term.
We didn’t want to risk all that for one or two big transfers. We could have said we put the investment into the players not the facilities but one or two more players more would not guarantee our targets.
I am pretty pleased with the work of Stuart and the board and we will now try to get the very best from these lads in the season ahead.
