Yes then he said Venkys had given Mowbray extra cash . I'm not saying I believe Nixon or not just passing on what's being said (altho it does look like we have money)

Nixon adamant that we have the funds to do both Brereton and Freeman, he is still sticking with the Mowbray got extra funds line

Yeah but to be fair it's common knowledge now that Mowbray is keen on the 3 of them. In fairness I'm quite shocked that we are reportedly willing to spend 8 on Brereton and then another 4 or 5 on Freeman.I thought maybe 1 big money signing but never 2. I want Iess talk and more action now though,realistically any new signing won't be involved Wednesday or Saturday.Be nice to get a couple in this week though give them chance to bed in

Yeah would be an excellent window if we were to get all 3.They won't be loans with a view though...they will be binding,so if the player doesn't perform we are still committed to buy,but on the other hand if the player does brilliantly the price will already be set in stone and the selling club can't change their minds

He said the sticking point for Brereton is the clauses that Forest want put in.Freeman we have a bid in,McLaren doesn't want to lose him but others at the club could be open to cashing in.He said Charlton are currently asking for too much

Nixon saying Brereton,Freeman and Bauer are the 3 we have bids in for,all becoming permanent on Jan 1st.

Maddison has been available for 2.5 million since the end of last season. Nobody has taken him so you would have to start wondering if something is wrong with him. If we were only spending 8 million on Brereton and not bringing anyone else in to improve the weaknesses in our squad then I would be left scratching my head and disappointed. But Mowbray has said we are in talks over 3 players so I don't expect Brereton to be the only signing made.

Nobody is disputing it's a gamble I mean 8 million on any 19 year old would be. But in today's market then even if Brereton is only average if he joins and we choose to move him on in a couple of years time we would still probably recoup most of what we paid out for him.

Stuart it's only this season he hasn't been starting, Karanka doesn't fancy him doesn't make him a bad player does it? Karanka wasn't a fan of Rhodes either a player I know you rate. On would I expect him to come in and start banging them in or be our undisputed no 1 striker from the get go?No but I think he has great potential and would eventually be. Mowbray has spoken about it taking 3 or 4 Windows to get a squad together capable of putting in a sustained challenge for promotion,Brereton is being brought in with one eye on the future. We have been told by the club and Mowbray that they are hoping to bring 3 or 4 in, if that's the case then i'l be happy and excited with the Brereton signing. If we only brought Brereton in for 8 million and nobody else then I would be scratching my head as i would feel the money would have been better used spread out

Maybe not initially but eventually yes.Mowbray has identified Brereton as the player he wants, am happy to back Mowbray on that. Not dismissing that 8 million would be a hefty fee and it could be spent spread out on other areas but Mowbray has already said other players are being targetted, I don't believe it will be Brereton and nobody else brought in

You haven't seen him play a full match.You are watching video highlights you can't come to the conclusion he isn't a centre forward off that. He is 19 years old has played 57 matches and been involved in 16 goals.That is not bad going. He plays as a C.F for England. The manager has obviously chosen Brereton as the one he wants and personally i find his potential signing exciting.

Thanks Chaddy. Doesn't sound like anything close and he seems frustrated with it

Did Mowbray say If anything is close?

Hopefully nothing serious with Dack.Roll on Wednesday

Yes get in

6 minutes addeď

Jesus Bennett

Dack struggling with injury,Graham warming up

Get in dacky

Doesn't he have a shoulder injury?

Need to score whilst we are on top like this

Surely the club wouldn't be still in for him if they haven't had encouragement that a deal can be done. Be a farce if we spend all loan window chasing him and not get him.We would have moved on to other targets by now If we weren't confident of getting Brereton.I mean surely? But we need to be offering a take it or leave it offer now, it's probably this deal holding up our other deals as we don't know how much will be left in the kitty after Brereton or another striker.

If we do sign him for that sort of money then surely Mowbray will have to be starting him. It's all well and good thinking he can spend a year learning under Graham but if we pay over 5 million then Mowbray will have to play him. Those players will want huge wages though.They will all be on 30grand a week at least already

Do you think Mowbray should be sacked If we don't sign anyone?

No I was just being childish. Is Mowbray ever gonna sign a winger Chaddy?
