StewieGriffin Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Happy with this. Dont know much about him, but Reading fans seem disappointed which is promising. Im more pleased that we seem to have used our pull as the biggest/2nd biggest club in the division (depending on whether you think Newcastle's stadium makes them bigger than us...) to sign one of the most promising kids in the division - the reports have all said that the player specifically said he wanted to come to us. We've done to a smaller team in our division what teams did to us in the Premier League. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 So far we've added a player who hardly played last season and another youngster who also hardly played, both because of injuries. They both sound like good signings, but I get the feeling that there's still much work that needs doing if we're going to challenge for promotion.

However, a central midfield 3 of Tshibola, Gana and/or Veretout/Grealish ain't too bad is it? I really think we need to have Gardner in the first team squad this season. He has done it in this league already and deserves the opportunity to show he can do it for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Forest wanted him permanently but had there embargo so had to settle with a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 were going to need quite a few centre mids to rotate, theres alot more games to play, nobody needs to leave, they just need to improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted July 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2016 Rumours Gollini is upon our shores today, hopefully we can get it wrapped up and he can travel to Austria for the training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a leader out there, game in game out. I'd shed Sanchez and bring in a captain type. He just hasn't found any consistency or improved as I would have liked. At all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know whether he can do it with us before we consider helping someone who is now in the same division that we are. Selling him will make Forest stronger I think keeping him might do the same for us this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's proven in the league something everyone was crying out for before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Tshibola is one for the future He won't be displacing Westwood any time soon, he might be bang average but is vastly more experienced in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Things look like they are starting to turn over, feels like an exciting, active few weeks are ahead of us. Tshibola sounds like a promising youngster and with SC on board he must rate him highly for us to be into him. Make it happen please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
