MrBlack Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 It can only be his injury record that Forest are questioning. Their fans are universal in admiring what he did for them, and he delivered a lot more than just a few key goals. For us he didn't deliver goals either. I think if he didn't have fitness concerns, there'd be no question Forest would be back in for him at the 10-15m range. Probably just playing the leaks game to get us to lower our price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) He will be difficult to sell......Loaning might be the best option. its like trying to sell a car without an Mot or service History......it gets devalued.

NoelVilla Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 It is not surprising to me that Forest looks elsewhere. A loan again to Championship is most likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I expect them to be in for him. They have an entire premier league squad to assemble, all for less than 100M. They are not buying a proven 20 goal a season PL striker because they cant afford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Salah and Son ain't even strikers! Wonder if we’ll start to see a change back to clubs having a direct striker because of likes of Haaland and Nunez coming in. The sexiness of false 9’s, deep lying strikers and wide scoring forwards that has been the craze of the last few years but it would be good to see a good old striker leading lines again.

Agree, amazing that outside Liverpool, Man City and Spurs there are just two strikers in the last 3 seasons who have scored 20+ goals in the entire league - and one of those sits on our bench!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been soft negotiators for far too long. Just wait for Purslow to get slaughtered by people who actually don't know anything for asking for too much money. Probably the same people slagging off Purslow for not getting enough for Trezeguet and Anwar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Wouldn't be the end of the world (for me) if he stayed, especially if Cam goes out again. Especially now you have 5 subs. Davis offers something different and we have seen his use as a foil at Forest. He can be unplayable. I know many will disagree though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was a 30 year old and happy to play the offer something different role I would understand but if I was him I would be looking to move , I’m sure he loves it here but he really is at the stage of his career where he needs to be playing regularly.
