We have let james Demetriou (sorry if that's spelt wrong)sign for Swansea on a free I thought he was meant to be very highly rated any idea why ed?

{Ed034's Note - we didn't let him leave, as we offered him a new contract. He chose to leave. Find it odd on his side to leave a club where he has just settled in, who have a plan for his future and then go to have to do this all again.
Think we'll see him become a journeyman and end up at Lincoln

With all due respect guys Swansea have probably offered better wages, have as good or better facilities for developing youngsters and are already a decent premier league side. On top of that, he hasn't been with Forest for that long really so undoubtedly has the freedom to move now whilst he has no real ties to us. If I was in his position I'd know which option was the more lucrative one. Just my thoughts.

Reports he was not offered a new contract by Forest.
Have we lost another Bamford?

{Ed034's Note - no because if we wanted to keep him, we would have offered one. ive heard we have offered but he chose to more

Why are fans worried about this youngster moving on? When Bamford left we needed the cash and the millions we got from his and Wes Morgans sale kept us in the championship. Stuart Pearce would have looked at the player and along with the development/youth team personnel would have decided to offer a contact at what they felt the players potential was. Obviously he has looked else where and left. We canot afford to be held to ransome by agents or players especially youngsters who have come no where near to making the first team

Ed, I thought if we had offered him a new contract and he signed for another team, we'd be due compensation as he is under 24. This is being reported as a free.

{Ed034's Note - im not sure on the rules of if a player has only been with us a couple of years, but i'll look in to it tonight

We will get money if he moves on I believe

{Ed034's Note - if....he's gone mate

8.) 29 Aug 2014
He's not the first and won't be the last young player to go elsewhere for more money.

In an interview with a South Wales newspaper he's stated as saying "It's taken a long time to sort out. " so I'd imagine he has been angling for this move for a while.

It's not like we've lost a key player. Wish him luck and move on.

I'm sure Mr Pearce, our Nation's former Under 21's manager knows what to look for in a youth player. Pretty sure that if the player was that good, we would have offered whateve was necessary to keep him at the club (a la Lansbury). All the best, Jon

If he was that highly rated by Pearce and fawaz, we would have offered him a better deal to stay, unproven, no great loss in my book

What's wrong with Lincoln;)?!!Come on you Imps!

{Ed034's Note - lol

12.) 30 Aug 2014
I was under the impression that he had already been released and was therefore free to go anywhere.
