Summer Transfer Window

[magicdaps10]

Seems like he has signed for Wrexham

It appears so.
Been reported by Alan Nixon and that O'Rourke guy, both seem to be erratic with their reporting but both have stated it with quite a bit of confidence.

Didn't expect him to go to Wrexham, if it's true that Forest have lowered their feet then it might alert one or 2 other clubs late on.

Rashford signs for…Barca.

I wonder if we’re still in for that kiwi at forest for a loan with a view to buying. Seems to fit the physical presence we need for a holding midfielder

Last I was reading, he is off to Olympiacos on loan after being left out of Forest pre season tour.

Going to throw it out there. A left back who can play centre half would be a loan.......Alex Murphy at Newcastle.

Just mentioned it on another post. Suprised no one has mentioned Bianchini wasn't playing last night?

Didn't Sheehan say he was injured with a slight knock?

Good write up and highlighting the clear areas that need strengthening.
Just to add, Brandon Fleming joined Derry in the last week or so.

Slight injury. Sheehan confirmed in his post match interview.

If you post an opinion as fact then it's dogma. You clearly stated twice "it's a load of twaddle". Not "I think it's a load of twaddle". Or "in my opinion it's . . . . . ."

Geez, cut me slack. Hardly anyone prefaces everything they say with the words "I think"

Didn't see that, sorry.

Easily missed. Think he twisted ankle like Eom and back on grass soon.

If the reported transfer fee of £5m and wages of £40k per week on a 3 year contract are true, then that's the kind of deal that only a club with very high revenue or parachute payments could contemplate in this division.

That would be a total financial commitment of around £11.2m all in. He's a fine player, but that's crazy money.

Playing devils advocate here a little.

The wage costs of the players that have left us would easily cover the reported O’Brien deal. Grimes and Pederson alone would come close. And we’ve lost Allen, Naughton as well who were on relatively significant sums. Plus Fulton is on a significant sum.

We are a few players short at present of being able to hold our own in this division. We are really in need of another three. One of whom is an experienced midfielder who can provide a really solid foundation for the young players we’ve brought in. In my mind, it’s the position that I would have paid more for as getting the spine right is everything. The creativity which hopefully we’ve added can flow from that.

Same with a centre forward. Although I wouldn’t be in favour of McBurnie at anything like the sums bandied about. His record since leaving us has been patchy to say the least and I think we could do better.

O’Brien, for me, is a loss.

It is a loss on the field for sure, but a package of £10m+ all in is not something we can or should be doing, unless we fancy a knock on the door from the FFP/PSR police.

Gutted then, but we are right to walk away from this one.
