Probably hoping one of the million ms of players they sign and loan back out for years on end will turn into a super striker. To be fair they have a pretty good track record of bringing unknowns through so who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ciggiesnbeer Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 FFP is a cancer on football. It simply punishes small clubs (ie: those who cant afford to pay to get around it). FFP needs to be permanently thrown in the trash where it belongs. A stupid idea, invented by morons, implemented by clowns.

thabucks Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Dreamt this afternoon we signed Nicolò Zaniolo from Roma with Dougie going the other way and some €€€ … Make it so Don Lange (though likely Spuds bound) Watching the highlights from training and the games so far we do seem to be passing quicker and switching play - the Boubar effect and think if we can supplement him with someone like Amadou Onana or Matheus Nunes were set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played 11 games as centre forward though according to whoscored, presumably with Wilson out and before signed Wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a loan though, so, not really. And as I said previously, it’s certainly not what people were expecting or hoping for… until that changes, I remain correct.

RicRic Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 3 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: This is about quality, not quantity, as we could also easily say we have 5 strikers. ( Ings, Ollie, Davis, Archer, Barry or Brad Young etc ) Our main problem has been our midfield for so long yet we are now wanting to chuck all our hopes on Kamara. If he gets injured or suspended we are back to the same midfield we often moaned about . What we have is too many MEH midfielders. We need is another midfielder who is at least outstanding at one thing, or impressive all round. On current evidence, the dropoff in quality from Kamara to our other " DMs " is massive. Well we need to prioritise the No 8 CM position before another DM position, if we want sangare then we can sign him after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think it’s telling how many clubs have been in financial trouble since FFP started… what’s the point it it doesn’t actually stop the problem it’s meant to stop!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also purchased a Turkish striker last summer, Deniz Undav, who they sent on loan to the Belgian league and was the top scorer in the league with 25 goals. I think he'll be in the first team reckoning for them this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Wow Forest are having a terrible window imho. 11 signings plus what must be a crippling wage bill after Lingaard. How on earth are they going to gel? We recruited better AND we had Grealish and barely stayed up. Maybe Grabban knew something we didnt when he turned them down a few weeks ago.

We will see, but to be brutally honest, on paper I would say forest's business is currently better than ours was when we got promoted. Obviously, the season will tell us if I'm wrong.
