Commentators are always talking him up and so I am possibly wrong, but I can't see much. I agree, I think he's bang average, decent for the champ, but mor more than that tbh. I mean heck, he went out on loan from a relegated PL team?, rather than being in their 11, says it all tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted May 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2022 Curious to see how the media portray them next year and if they get the Leeds treatment? They're probably more likely to actually be liked by neutrals even if their football is boring. I doubt they'll stay up and their best bet would probably be to realise this and prepare for it by spending £60-70m on 4 or 5 highly rated young players who will grow in value and would be likely to stay with them if they then go down. They can then use the rest of the TV money and parachute payments to improve infrastructure and this would put them in a good place to then bounce straight back up on a stronger footing.

Maybe El Ghazi as well Jokes aside if I was a promoted side I'd have them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Was looking at their record transfer deals, Pierre van Hooijdonk from the nineties still in the top four, Riccardo Scimeca who they bought from us in the top ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Surprised at that as they've signed plenty of strikers for good money, think Grabban was about 7m but could be wrong. Didn't they sign Britt Assombalonga for a good amount aswell. Does feel like they'll drop 20m + on a CF before window closes....in addition to Kienan. Midfield strengthening will probably be trying to get some of the loans back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfield strengthening will probably be trying to get some of the loans back. Assombalonga is 2nd. Joao Carvalho is randomly first and nearly 10 million more expensive than the rest 20 million would smash the transfer record and considering Forest or Olympiakos dont spend that big then I dont see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 A couple of years back they linked up with Mendes as I think he has a connection with their owner, and brought in a number of Portugese players and players from Mendes related clubs, that's when Joao Carvalho signed. I think there was an hope that they would do a Wolves, but it never happened, Hughton and Cooper took it in a different direction but they've still got three Portugese players in their squad now. II read they brought in some sort of analytical transfer guru called George Syrianos, who apparently helped Stuttgard sign some very good players, he's been there about a year, if he's mainly responsible for transfers, then seems to have done a good job so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Just visualising Forest in the Prem and seeing the City Ground back for PL footy makes me happy. Most likable club by far for me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likable club by far for me Same. The first game I watched on TV was Forest against Spurs in the 1991 FA Cup final and, for some reason, I always look back on that with great fondness. Probably because it was the game that I think got me into football in the first place. Especially as I’m the only one in my family that actually likes football.

Demitri_C Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Forsst are better off building a strong championship team as they will need to spend big to stay up. Then gi down a year bounce straight back then they will be in a better position to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like it’s not possible, Brentford were comfortable for almost the whole season, in the past teams like Stoke, Wigan, Swansea, Bournemouth etc all came up and stayed up for a number of seasons so why not try to emulate that than aim for relegation? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Getting promoted is worth £170m for the club. Survive for the first year and that increases to about £300m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. You've got to buy very well and I think Forest will. They have an excellent director of football to build the squad and an excellent head coach.

Delphinho123 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 With Davis, Zinckernagel, Spence and Garner all on loan there, they’re gonna have a torrid time competing in this league. That’s probably their transfer budget gone right there if they decide to keep all 4 of those players and even then they won’t be good enough to stay up (in my opinion). Feels a little like when we came up tbh. Perhaps a season too early and they have very little PL quality in the players they own. They’ll need to work miracles in the transfer market to stay up.

The problem is though if you go all out and fail that could bite them on the arse. When i look at that forst team it looks alot weaker than the one brentford came up with. Its not impossible they could do it but very risky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
