No reason why he can't if he keeps improving.

Exciting and a bit sad at the same time as it will likley not be as a Norwich City player!

The worry is we sell him for £20m within the next year and watch his value rocket up to £80m

I'm hoping he doesn't get snapped up by an EPL club in January coming in with a silly offer. I can just see either he or Mo Toure leaving as we will need the funds (reference to the recent accounts). Really hope they stay but worried.

The good thing is that we have some strong striker options at the moment.

This feels a little "Dean Ashton". Hopefully though with a happier ending.

I think I said elsewhere that once Toure is fully fit, then we really will struggle to accomodate all our striking options. Someone is going to have to be happy being a bit part player.

So much depends on where we are in January, and the perceived likelihood of getting promoted.

I think we will be ok January but without Prem football we are bound to lose one of them.

Makarma is the one I would want to hang on to at all costs.

 

[AmericanCanary]

I think he has all the skills and also has room to grow also.When Toure does come back PC is going to have a heck of a selection headache which tbh is not a bad thing.

Enjoy him while he is here though because he will eventually move on.Sucks but that's the reality of it.

Yeah, if I had to lose one, my choice would be Toure, but I think that’s a heart rather than head decision, probably because he’s been here for the shortest time.

Factors in that include - as well as how long they’ve been at the club and hence how much they care about the club as anything more than a stepping stone to greater things - what we’d get for them, what they add to the team both in terms of skill but also options when Big Phil needs a different approach, and how long they are likely to stay with us.

Jovon has a long way to go before he can be considered Kane's replacement. The one thing he does have going for him is that he looks far better in a Norwich shirt than Harry ever did (albeit in a lower division). That said, there aren't many sides that can proclaim they have had a Ballon d'or winner play for them. Certainly not that lot down the road.

IMO, Toure, Makama and Kvistgaarden are the best group of 3 strikers we've had at the club since Robins, Sutton and Ekoku. If we can keep 2 out of the 3 for a few years, rather than sell them all off in quick succession like Chase did, we'll be fine.

My guess is that Jovon is our Dean Ashton revisited.

He will go somewhere for 25m in January, or in the summer.

On the most basic stat of all, goals scored,(or goals per game, or goals per minute played) Toure is the most attractive of the three. When was the last time any striker in the Championship joined a club and had a record like his?

I think they are both very, very different types of striker. And I would say that, coupled with his obvious potential, Makama possesses the attributes that a lot of teams are looking for.

Makama feels like a top 8 club, Toure feels like 10m to Crystal Palace.

 

[KennyMac]

I see Makama got 20 minutes or so for England under 21s last night. Didn’t score and they lost 1-0 to Portugal. But all great experience for him.
Much like Lankshear and Delap, I can see him leaving at some point for big money, if purely for the ‘English tax”.

The really cool thing is all three are really young and developing there games and improving all the time,let's enjoy them while we can ,however when toure is back someone will be missing out!
