Should be sacked. Surely what he said was defamation?

What's he said?

Fair enough I hadn't seen that. I still wouldn't be expecting a string of £50m signings based on that though.

Which exactly of the sides that have "made it" and transitioned to successful sides in the last 10 years (so basically just Spurs and Wolves) have bought multiple £50m signings in order to get European football? Hell even Man City didn't and still haven't made those sorts of signings.

You seem to think that in order to "satisfy our ambitions" and get where our owners want the club to be we need to be spending £200m with all of them +50m based on the above. Madness. 

What exactly would it take for you to sit back on here and say "this was an amazing window lads nice one owners well done I'm happy"...

Actual footage of me after using an incorrect "left hanger" in the UK for just 2 days... 

Delighted for Jack. 

He now needs to go to the training camp and make every defender there look like a prized rocket polisher in the first half hour to rub it in that stupid waistcoat wearing snatch dragons smug pointy nosed grill.

how old is lansbury

 

Old enough

Nakamba will surely move over for Watkins at 11 (I like nakamba I’d then give him 4)

Just now, MaVilla said:

if we sign Watkins, i just dont see this transfer happening or being viable.

 

But @messi11 said it was a done deal mate, it's done OK he's already signed. 

Disclaimer: he might not have signed

Done deal apparently 

I just.... really?

Tap ins and 30 yard screamers all count the same. Creating chances hasn’t really been a major problem for us, it’s finishing them that has been our Achilles heel. If we’d have finished off half of the easy chances we missed last season we’d probably have been safe with 5 games to go. 

How many wonder goals did Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Darren Bent or Peter Withe score? 

Literally 50+

I would prefer us to sign both watkins and Edouard, then wes/ samatta is our 4 forward players this season. I would be happy with that 4 totally different forwards.

Davis should either be offered a contract extension and loaned out or if we can sell him for a couple million i would do that.

I'd keep hold of Davis over Samatta as one of the four any day of the week. He's an absolute beast in training and its only a matter of time before that translates into a game scenario. I feel if we let go of him he will become excellent for another rival. At worst, ensure we loan him to someone near the top of the championship and I reckon he'd return with 10-15 goals.

Lol, we’ve had players leaving and kids coming into the academy/U23s but I was dithering on the number of pages to state.

Haha, sorry mate I just love doing that

6 minutes ago, rayk said:

I think the whole point of this thread is transfer speculation though lol. We’d be on zero pages.....not 700...if we waited for official announcements.

Anyway, are you happy with Toney (for Watkins) and do you think of Robin Hack (for Benrahma).

The same Purslow who oversaw 16 arrivals last season? 

Yeah, the bloke couldn't get a deal over the line to save his life. 

The same guy who oversaw: 

15m Douglas deal 

14m Targett deal

11m Konsa deal

All of which will be worth at the very least double what we bought them for (prolly triple/quadruple once Konsa has reached his potential)

And also secured Louie Barry and Ben Chrisene who were two of the most coveted u18's in European football...

Bloke ain't got a **** clue has he... disgraceful

All because @rodders0223 thinks we're Chelsea all of a sudden

Vicious circle ... No one pays for news as
much as before. New business is Clickbait as = £££. So the standard of journalism drops. It’s just awful. Headline says one things which is PR BS then the article goes on to say it was actually Edu who persuaded him and not the not the fans.. Oh and they are basing & paraphrasing from an article from the telegraph which is Behind a paywall...

Back fo transfers ... How about this chant to WU Tang Clans C.R.E.A.M or as Meth said

Cash Ruins Enemies and Marauders ... 

I've read this about 6 times now and genuinely .... I mean..... is this English??

is that realistic though????

Ziyech, Kovacic, mount, pulisic, Gilmour, Kante, Barkley, Jorginho.

how many **** CM’s does a club need. 
 Throw the money at him and say he will be our number 1 CM. Show the ambition that we all want to see.

Yes please 

I’d pay 35m for him as our statement to keep Jack personally 

5 minutes ago, MaVilla said:

i would probably be happy with this squad (trying to be realistic)

 

                                                                           Heaton

                                             Cash (12m) - Konsa - Mings - Targett

                                                       MC (25m?) - Luiz - McGinn

Benrahma or Buendia or Rashica (25m) - Watkins (25m) - Grealish

 

Squad: Steer, GK [Loan - cover Heaton until fit/competition], Henry (15m), Hause, Engels, Guilbert, Nakamba, Hourihane, Swift (8m), El Ghazi, Trez, Jota, Wesley, Samatta.

 

Sell/Release: Nyland, Kalinic, Bree, Taylor, Elmo, Lansbury, Hogan.

Loan: Davis (if signs new contract)

 

No idea who i would like for the new MC, any thoughts?

 

thats 110m spent total. (would love Edouard, but just dont see it - i can hope)

Reuben Loftus Cheek

Just because it might be our first signing, doesn't mean it's our top priority. Think Elmo will be off.

Makes a lot of sense, Elmo is 33 in 10 days time as well which in our squad is the equivalent of having Totti rolling around at 41 still (just pretty shit and from Egypt)

Just now, DaveAV1 said:

Yes but the difference between now and last summer is that he will have time to settle, baring injuries and won’t be thrown in at the deep end from day one, which a lot of our squad was. 

And, most importantly in my view, we will have ACTUAL competition for a position!

Just now, OLDVILLAIN said:

I agree to an extent..but i dont see us finishing in the top 10 anytime soon by developing players from the championship.

150k wages in the premier league isnt astronomical compared to top 10 teams wages..I mean im sure jack will want at least 100k to stay with us as a minimum..we cannot be paying championship wages and expect premier league quality..its a whole different ball game excuse the pun

I agree, the wage structure has to give at some point if we are going to compete for proper statement signings... it seems to be the biggest mental block for the board at the moment.

1 minute ago, rayk said:

I’d be happy enough with Watkins, Cash maybe in the right set-up but Swift is really only a Hourihane replacement.

I dunno, they may all end being brill but having stayed up by the skin of our teeth .......they’re just not the players I think most of us were hoping for.

Still 4 and a half weeks mate, its the first signing. 

Give them a chance, things have only really taken off in the market this week (apart from the mercenaries at Stamford Bridge).

Just now, OLDVILLAIN said:

Do you honestly think cash is just going to walk into the team and play from the start??

Yes, you clearly have not seen him play football

Go on the Forest forums and see how highly they rate him, they are gutted he's going
