Norwich City: Will they be able to avoid a relegation battle following their summer business?
By A. Aden
We all remember Norwich City’s previous attempt at proving to the world that they were a capable outfit in the highly competitive contest that is the Premier League. A comfortable start that began with everyone scrambling to place the free-scoring Teemu Pukki in their FPL teams.
Netting a goal against the eventual league winners in Liverpool in their first match, the 31-year-old Finnish striker followed it up with a hat-trick against Newcastle and nabbing a goal and assist in GW3 vs. Chelsea.
Unfortunately, this would unfold quicker than it started as the in-form striker would hit a mid-season slump alongside his teammates as they succumbed to injuries in key areas such as their centrebacks additionally.
However this time, there is optimism around Carrow Road that this season could very well be different. Certain people would be quick to point out the lack of Buendia this time, a key figure in this Norwich side for the past three seasons and much of the magic around their two championship triumphs and offered some moments of magic in their short stay within the top flight.
