"Widely regarded as one of the country’s brightest prospects, the 19-year-old joins on an initial loan deal, with an option of this becoming a permanent move when the transfer window opens on January 1st 2019"

So not legally binding?

[Ewood Ace]

Interesting though that it is only an option and not an obligation to buy in January, which is slightly worry as we are owned by Venkys and in a few months time they could quite easily have changed their minds about spending such a sum of money.

[blueboy3333]

… however in the LT it says:-

"Brereton has signed on loan, with the deal becoming permanent when the transfer window re-opens on January 1....When it is made permanent, the deal will become Rovers’ biggest outlay since the signing of Jordan Rhodes from Huddersfield in August 2012 for £8m"

Hadn’t heard of him until recently but people I know who live local to Nottingham really rate him and obviously so does Mowbray.

An exciting signing for sure and a proper statement of intent.

Sounds like exactly what happened with Tony Watt, 

 

Still I’ve got my positive trousers on, great signing, I wonder if were done now?

Had a quiet day at work so got on the gif maker.

Apologies in advance everyone because I will never get tired of posting it.

Wonder if he's eligible to play against Forest??

I know it's a permanent transfer in all but name, but, he's here on loan initially....

No idea but hope he uses some of his signing on fee to buy some socks, we know how TM feels about sloppy dressers

Brereton up top. Arma, Dack and Palmer behind. Hard to fault that. Not many defences will enjoy their afternoon against us this season. Pace, guile, young, exciting, English. That would have been hard to believe in the not too distant past. 

[Neal]

Nervy about this one... Really hope he hits the ground running. Last thing we need is him going a long time without a goal. 

[Pedro]

I hope for his sake he can run the channels.

From what I've seen he doesn't play " up top ". He likes to play out on the flanks.

It will be £7million in January according to the Nottingham Post and Forest will have a sell on clause.

Armstrong, Brereton and Graham all 1st team options for the lone striker role. 

Graham up top with Armstrong, Brereton and Dack in behind would be potentially quite potent.

That makes more sense but we better have some grafters in midfield to get the ball for them.
