Spoony Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Lolley would be ideal. He was tearing us apart and would give his absolute all, which is what we were missing in our last few premier league campaigns. No-brainer for me. Absolutely get him in.

jacketspuds Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Jarrod Bowen over Lolley for me. The stats and age factor make it the better option. I agree with the comments about being careful not to focus too much on signing players from the lower leagues though, unless they are brought in as promising players that we want to bring through over 2-3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both Lolley and Bowen will be ridiculously priced by their respective clubs and we won’t get either. This is where the scouts and Suso earn their corn, would love is to find the next lolley/Bowen who onlys costs <£500k I know his name is blasphemy round these parts but would be interesting to see if Bruce had already submitted his player requests, in the last few years he has been part of the signings of Robertson (pre Liverpool), Bowen and of course our own super John. Would be silly to dismiss his list without seeing who’s on it Good shout. McGinn, Robertson, Maguire, Clucas. Good young British talent. I believe Stan Ternent was a big consultant in such signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeAVFC Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 This may be a tad unpopular, but my take on it is that although we need to strengthen, we need to be careful not to disrupt the dynamic of the dressing room that got us here. I imagine we'll see mostly young, hungry players with a point to prove from both overseas and here, rather than splashing big sums of money on superstars right away. I'll hazard a guess that 5 or 6 will come in, as well as tying up Mings, El Ghazi, Hause and Tammy (depending on the situation at Chelsea). That'll be more than okay for this window, then we'll review the situation again in January and see where we are. I understand people's concerns, ie that we finished 5th in the championship therefore there's a bit of work to be done, however it can easily go the other way if we splash silly money on a lot of players. Young, hungry with a point to prove plus tying up the loanees seems the sensible option to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 If we only bring in loan players permanently and some talented Championship/League 1 youngsters then we'll be straight back down IMO. Definitely need a few players with PL experience and would ideally try and find a few decent players on the continent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do however have to consider that if we want to cement ourselves back in the top flight, we have to avoid buying too many solid championship level players. I completely agree with what you said, but I think it's imperative we find a balance here. One thing that's absolutely certain is that for those who love transfer stories, they are in for a very tasty summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Have a feeling Lolley would probably cost at least double that quoted figure of 10 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I'd like Maupay, he can play across a front three as well, not necessarily as a starter but would be a great player for the squad he has a lot of ability and aggression. Lolley and Bowen are both good shouts as well, Bowen probably shades Lolley for me based on age. Edited May 28, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is he a 20m player. He's a good player, granted. If we're quoted any more than 8-10m, walk away. Even with today's inflated prices, there's much better value elsewhere.

KMitch Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Didn't Lolley just sign a new long term deal at Forest within the past year? Will cost a pretty penny just based on that alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
