Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?

[Guest]

We’ve got to be looking at forest, about to make signings 16(!!!!!) and 17(!!!!!) of the window. Surely there’s a CB surplus to requirements in there?

We should be looking to move Vale out on loan to League 1 or 2. Nowhere near Championship level and to be honest struggled v Hartlepool.

If Tomasson doesn't have any new players available by the weekend then he has been let down.

Needs releasing.

JCH at 28yo and the fee Peterborough would command is an instant no 

Hardie not proven yet and wouldn't enhance the starting 11

Armstrong (if the wages were right) I would 100% take him back. 

 

 

 

We bought the wrong Posh player, we should be bringing someone ready for their peak. Scored 12 last season in a shit team in the league.  Worth a look and get some of our deadwood the other way in exchange and some money.

Hardie is a very good player...I believe he can step up and relatively cheap

Ye agreee

I didn't say he would lose pace, only that he won't be able to tear around like a blue-arsed fly like he does at the moment. Let's see how he goes. I hope he does make it.  In my opinion he won't because I don't see other attributes in his game

You implied he would lose 'the ability to run around at high speed'. That's pace. Do you mean he will lose stamina? Also not guaranteed. You don't see his skill with the ball at his feet then? Can show plenty of clips that prove he has it.

Wow, that's an odd move for him...has messed us up a few times

We'd have no players left if you were in charge.

Questions about Sammie Szmodics especially considering the fee spent.

A long way to go to start to prove that he was worth that money.

There’s a player there…I feel he’ll be very much like Rothwell. We will see him now & again but goes missing a lot  of the time. 
 

If he chips a few goals in here & there then we should be happy.

Bloody hell! Just seen that Wolves have agreed to sell Morgan Gibbs-White to Forest for £44.5m!!!

He looked a decent player when I've seen him, but £44.5m!? That's insane.

My bad - corrected now. (before 100 others point out the same thing) - I couldn't read properly for the shock of the fee! 😆

I agree with you if that's the fee - presumably the quoted number include a large number of add ons

Most people who are critisizing Pickering, are questioning his lack of pace. Would they be happy starting Jake Batty ? He has pace a plenty and is quite aggressive.

I personnally don't think Batty is ready yet. In a couple of years time, maybe.

Where's Unleaded and Glen when you need them? And the scrapbook. 😢

If you'd played the game you'd know that your game at 25 is different than at 20. His game might mature in that time but he's got a long way to go. Either way, he's not good enough for the Championship at present and shouldn't be starting matches for us. The fact he does shows how threadbare our squad is

I think so, Batty is class imo.

Aye, supplement your argument by suggesting I've never played the game, good one.

I see the BBC have now put out an article on the Brereton bid from Nice.

Only a couple of days late, and only three years off regarding his age.

Ben Brereton Diaz: Nice make bid of about £8.4m for Blackburn Rovers striker

[ChrisPriceBaldSpot]

Wouldn't be surprised if Batty goes before making his first team debut 👀

Not if we are losing with him in the side.

Surely worth a game or 2 to see.

No need to be sarcastic Chaddy, that’s why I put a question mark because I wanted to know why you’re happy with our left back options. Do you not think Pickering is a weak link in our side?
