22 goals from 66 appearances represents a very respectable return for Norwood in some much more testing times at Portman Road. Ipswich have lost just once in their last seven, a sequence that has included four victories, meaning that Norwood's chances of a first team returning continue to thin with the team's good form.

The Verdict

This post comes across as a 'come and get me'  plea from James Norwood. He will not be short of interested parties due to the kind of goalscoring numbers he has posted in recent years but a club with League One promotion ambitions may think elsewhere because of his age.

A theme of the summer transfer window was smaller spending on younger players which could work against Norwood. Possibly a move to one of the National League's financial heavyweights in Wrexham, Stockport County or Chesterfield could be on the cards for Norwood's next venture in English football.

The 31-year-old record suggests there is a bargain to be had for the majority of League One and Two clubs in January.
