Indigo Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I can believe the interest for sure but can't see it happening. He's pretty much exactly the kind of profile of player that there's a gap for in the squad as he's a wide forward with experience of playing on the right of a unconventional front two that has pace, goalscoring ability etc. Given they've already turned down £30 million for him it seems like there'd be much better value out there at the price it'd probably take to get him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie2000 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I'd take him, only going to get better and already used to the league. Byt as he doesn't have some fancy foreign name, a lot will say no jot worth it. DIABY - played 33, scored 9, 8 assists JOHNSON - played 38, scored 8, 3 assist Not bad especially when you consider the team he played for, 1stseason in the most competitive league in the world. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 10+ goal contributions too though, not bad for his first season in the prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I watched him quite a lot in the championship and thought he was great. This year I only really watched Forest at the start of the season when they were struggling to gel, although I hear he improved massively throughout. I'm all for it, but very much doubt we'd be able to agree a price that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted July 13, 2023 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2023 He reminds me of Ollie with his runs, especially when Ollie played a bit wider (occasionally for us and at Brentford) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine running that speed. Not sure buying from PL clubs is where the value is though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 A lot of noise around this. Forrest fan base been saying this will likely happen for a while apparently. As others suggest, it's not the great value or sexy foreigner with European experience, but I guess you are buying potential and speed always hurts opponents. We have to trust the process, but I hope its aswell as Diaby and not instead of, as Diaby looks the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
