Peterborough Telegraph saying that Britt Assombalonga is currently at The City Ground undergoing a medical ahead of a Â£5m move. No mention of Â£5m up from rising to Â£8m.

Good player although no player in league 1 is worth that.

These 2 lads are exactly what we have been crying out for! Fast paced direct football but without the long ball hoofing! It will be a refreshing change from the tip tap tip tap style with not much end product. Ball on the floor with pace and goals. Brilliant.

Natalie confirms he's here for medical and fee of 5.5 mill. Surely not. Can't believe he's worth that much.

Â£5m really, I'd expect to pay that for a good premier player not an un proven league 1 player ( or in real money a 3rd division player ). Hey look out here comes Forest let's rip em off again!!

Unbelievable amount of money for a League 1 player! Sorry but if he is worth that amount then what is the going rate for Lansbury? Yes I know this guy is a striker however he is unproven at this level. Add in undoubted various clauses this will rise even more. Dunno what is going on at the moment with the finances. But if KD & JL were sold to satisfy FFP why rinse all the money on one who player is unproven? Granted I am no expert but I am a season ticket holder and cannot believe what is going on right now. I fully expect Lansbury to leave now which could be devastating. Hopefully Reid will stay fit. Still our best player.

{Ed034's Note - that's how much strikers go for. McCormack at Â£12m or assombolanga at Â£5m???

8.) 06 Aug 2014
Patterson could fill that role

9.) 06 Aug 2014
Its a bit like buying a house in London,
If you don't pay the going rate you don't get the house/player

10.) 06 Aug 2014
Ed I do agree with you however McCormack is totally proven. Assombolanga is raw and unproven. A huge risk in my eyes. Rhodes would have cost a bit more but is proven. Its not my only point though. It kind of makes a mockery of what Fawaz said about FFP. The money from JL and KD has now gone. Just don't understand the logic?

{Ed034's Note - he's had one good season and is what age?? I think this lad can get a lot better than McCormack and at half the price, he's less of a risk

11.) 06 Aug 2014
Is that the transfer record. can't quite remember if that's more than PVH

{Ed034's Note - yes. Pvh was Â£4.5m

12.) 06 Aug 2014
What a day two great signings I think. We now have a starting eleven to be feared. I hope all the individuals that have gave Fawaz grief have been on the bird site apologising and given him positive tweets this time around. Saturday is going to be awesome at the CG wish I was there.

Rhodes to Blackburn Â£8 million.
Ox to a Arsenal Â£12 million rising to Â£15m.
Dwight Gayle to Palace Â£8.5 million including rumoured add ons.
All league one transfers although Huddersfield and Southampton had just been promoted.
He looks pure quality and just what we have been crying out for. Pace, power. A real match winner-dreaming of a new Collymore!
