Norwich boss Farke determined to keep Aarons
Norwich boss Daniel Farke insists they would be stupid to cash in on Max Aarons next month despite their fading survival hopes.The Canaries are determined to hold onto the England Under-21 right-back in January.Saturdays visitors Tottenham have been linked to the defender while Crystal Palace have considered a bid in the past.Norwich are bottom of the Premier League, seven points from safety, after Boxing Days 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa but Farke is adamant Aarons will stay beyond January.He said: Our financial position is quite relaxed and we know we need all our key players to have a small chance to create a big sensation so were not tempted at all to do something stupid and sell our best players.In this business you never know so sometimes theres an unbelievable offer and the club decides to do something but in such a comfortable situation I dont expect any.Defender Aarons has impressed this term, despite Norwichs struggles, and the Canaries will demand over 20million should they sell, which is likely to happen if they are relegated.Yes, hes alright, said Farke. I dont like to praise the young players too much, everyone knows how good they are so its not like I can protect them.After a handful of Premier League games its not like you win the Golden Boot or Ballon dOr. You have to keep going and improve.Farke also admitted the Canaries are likely to be priced out of adding reinforcements next month to aid their relegation battle.Ben Godfrey is out until February with a knee injury with fellow defender Timm Klose also a long-term absentee with his own knee problem.I would take a few players, thats for sure. They are pretty much too expensive, said Farke.If we had the possibility to spend some money we would have done it in the summer and the January market is even more difficult and more expensive.Its not like well fall asleep, perhaps theres a lucky situation but it wont be a panic buy or something we cant afford.We have two centre-backs injured so its not OK, lets bring a top class centre back in. To do that you need to spend 10million plus. We will go with our tools and lads.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
