It has been a start to remember for the 27-year-old in Norfolk.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;That was why I wanted to come,&#8221; Field said.\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s not just for me, but I want to help this team as well.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;It happened pretty fast. But that&#8217;s the beauty of football. There are 31 days in the transfer window.\u00a0Sometimes it goes down to the last seconds.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;But I&#8217;m delighted it happened in the end. I think for everyone&#8217;s sake, it makes sense.\u00a0As soon as that happened, it was just as quick as possible and about trying to hit the ground running and I&#8217;d like to think I&#8217;ve done that. There\u2019s a lot more to happen, but I&#8217;m looking forward to it.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;The manager and players have been very good with me.\u00a0Talking of the three games, it&#8217;s three wins and a brilliant start, to be honest,\u00a0from a team collectively, not just individually. I&#8217;m probably still a bit rusty. I need to get going in a few areas.\u00a0But I think there&#8217;s a lot there where people can see what I bring and what I offer. I just want to do that more and more.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The move to Norwich has taken Field away from QPR, a club where he has made nearly 200 appearances since joining in 2021. His parent club praised his professionalism despite his game-time frustrations, and that mutual respect led to them sanctioning his move to City.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\"\/>Sam Field has hit the ground running since moving to Norwich City from QPR on deadline day. (Image: Paul Chesterton\/Focus Images Ltd)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I just want to play football.\u00a0I think that&#8217;s as professional as you can be about it,&#8221; Field said. &#8220;I think that any club will want a player who just wants to play football.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;So there&#8217;s no bad feelings. There&#8217;s nothing but respect. We got to a good decision in the end. I don&#8217;t know what will happen afterwards.\u00a0That&#8217;s not my concern at the minute now.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;But it&#8217;s good to be here and playing. I think it benefits everyone.\u00a0So the fact that we&#8217;re doing it now, that&#8217;s brilliant. I&#8217;m just trying to enjoy every moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Field&#8217;s move from Championship rivals QPR went down to the wire, but offered him a route to more&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-428623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
