Yeah would have been class - on the bright side, at least he won't be going Burnley!

Watford must be losing one of Dennis or Sarr.

Think that’s probably because Sarr and Dennis being linked away from them and they want someone in first. Handful like you say but not the greatest goal scorer. Jason Roberts comes to mind

Exactly. The new Jason Roberts, but very handy at this level.

Dennis signing for Forest for £15m.

Dennis to Forest for £20 million. Mad prices. Forest very much going down the splurge to survive route. Doesn’t usually go well.

Nixon (I know) saying the plan is for a Rovers announcement today on VDB - Dependant on Liverpool not having injuries that delay it.

 Condemned if they don't spend, condemned if they do. At least Forest are giving themselves a chance. They recognise they need more quality and numbers and they're spending the cash. As a Forest fan you'd be delighted. We're not doing spending and on squad numbers alone it's less likely to end well

Have Liverpool got a heavy training session planned for this morning?

Shows how much I know, I saw the VDB link and thought it was that chap from Sheffield United

What on earth is this based on? He played right side of a 3 for Portsmouth last year and they loved him.

Based on his lack of pace and lack of technical ability.   Obviously this is just my opinion

Again, though, pace isn't subjective or a matter of opinion. He's either got it or he hasn't. I'm guessing you've not seen enough of him to know either way, because from what I've read he's no slouch. And he's technically sound. 

Are you confusing him with a Preston player?

Nope, he's lacking pace and technical ability.  Seen enough last season.  But you've only read, so youre criticising my opinion even though I've watched him way more than you...🤷‍♂️

Think Burnley are just shy of a decent striker, to have a real good do this season. If they can get him they'll be up there this season. Let's hope it all falls apart 🤞🤞🤞

I saw a Burnley discussion and they were desperate to sign Adebayo from Luton.

We should have signed Adebayo in January, along with Swift who is now at WBA (for free!)

They must be selling someone, right? They have 3 brilliant strikers (for this level) already.

Clarkson was nowhere near up to it thats why, would have been suicidal to shoehorn him in. Its pretty obvious Van Den Berg is a different kettle of fish, he's been there done it.

I fully agree he wasn't of the required standard but I was responding to the point that we'd good dealings with Liverpool and given plenty of game time to loanees

Absolutely massive wages apparently at Reading. WBA have obviously matched or thereabouts. Would never have happened for us.

Do we still reckon Ash Phillips is off? Seems odd he made his debut and then gets sold?

I've seen him a few times. he doesn't lack pace at all. And saying he lacks 'technical ability' is so vague as to be meaningless.

He won't be going anywhere until the end of the season as thats when his scholarship ends.

With our league position and knowing that BBD was being lost to Chile it should have.

May increase the price a tribunal would set. And until he signs elsewhere, we will probably hold out hope he signs here. Playing him helps with that (unless it persuades big clubs to up their interest!)
