  1. Agree 100% - I wouldn't mind if he stayed tbh.
  2. I really don't want Chinese ownership - if and when they get bored, I imagine the state of the accounts would make the due diligence period nigh on impossible.
  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VVedTzndKs Looks like he's got a pretty handy left foot. Quick, direct, strong - seems like the kind of player who'd fit very easily into our system.
  4. Hopefully he'll be kept grounded and not get ahead of himself just yet. He's looking very, very promising but he's not the finished article yet because he needs game time and experience. He's definitely grown and got a bit stronger though - which is great news.
  5. Completely agree - hyperbole is tiring to say the least.
  6. I think he's handled Bacuna reasonably well though - he could have dropped him for Lowton after a poor performance or two, but he stuck with him and this seemed to give him the confidence to up his game somewhat.

    Carles Gil

    I don't think the treatment of Gil will make or break him as a manger. I like Gil and I think he should get more game time but you can't argue with results because in football, the ends always justify the means.
  8. I don't think they were that bad - they seemed to coincide with Liverpool stepping up a gear but I think that was more down to them than us. It's easy to forget that there's another team sometimes.
  9. I don't think this White Knight role suits you, Risso - It's confusing, if anything.
  10. I wouldn't go as far as saying 'real trouble' but we're clearly not out of the woods yet. We do need to stay focused for now though and win those home games.
  11. I wouldn't touch our CBs - I'd give Vlaar a new contract and keep the rest. They know each other and they're all good.
  12. Same - he's done almost nothing wrong since coming in.
  13. Definitely not his best game for us today IMO - he was pretty erratic, he's usually better than that I thought!
  14. He's been superb the last 2 games. Sign him up!
  15. His clearance off the line was incredibly important and he should be commended for that. Other than that, fairly typical performance from him - gave the ball away cheaply too often and didn't look assured at all.
  16. Oh Delphy, you sexy sexy bastard. Awesome player.
  17. He's certainly getting better - still not the finished article but today was his best game for us and it looks like he's got a great future ahead of him.
  18. Gabby has a better goal-to-game ratio than Andi but we're talking 1 in 4 rather than 1 in 5... so it's still pretty bad.
  19. Heskey scored more goals than Guzan has - bring him back!! I'm just being facetious but they're clearly different players in different positions.
  20. He really deserves better than this. He's good enough to play for a Champions League team and we're not going to be able to offer him that any time in the foreseeable future, obviously. I hope to God he stays as he's the best striker I've ever seen play for us but if he wants better, we can't stand in his way.
  21. Yeah he's come back at the wrong time unfortunately! Useful guy to have though, he's been good for us so far.
  22. I'd no issues with Young or Warnock either - the former was pretty decent and the latter was seen as a good signing at the time. We'd no idea that Warnock would turn out so badly.
  23. With Gary Gardner waiting in the wings, we may as well off load him.
  24. Excellent - it's great to see him cutting it at senior level and Forest is a good place for him to learn. Hopefully he'll be back and in contention for next season. I was worried he'd not live up to his massive potential but it seems he might be getting there!
