Nottingham Forest Rumours

16 Jan 2020 19:26:26
Kodija is off to Qatar.

16 Jan 2020 20:28:32
Not interested in competitive football then.

17 Jan 2020 08:58:38
He’s interested in a lot of money, can’t blame him really.

17 Jan 2020 10:20:14
I disagree omrftt- the game is on its way out due to the money and attitude of players. The changes over the next generation of fans will destroy the game-kids will not have the interest or the money to keep going to matches or Even subscribe to sky bt etc. We all support clubs because of either locality or something that dragged us towards a team (Either a successful team or a fav player) that just isn’t happening now as no players stay at clubs for long enough to gain any sort of status or following. It really is just a form of income to them and no links will ever be formed. Rant over - I’ll take my pills and chill 🤣.

17 Jan 2020 13:18:20
I share your concerns 2tone.

17 Jan 2020 13:51:37
A strange move by Kodja I have to say. He has a lot more in England.

17 Jan 2020 14:17:21
Thing is 2tone this is going to be "the good old days" for today's youngsters. They see this as normal. It will never go back to the man in the streets game.
Kodija to Saudi or where ever will become the done thing. I don't like it any more than you do pal.

16 Jan 2020 11:08:46
Forest now linked with Connor Wickham and Andre Gray, with enquiries made for both according to the NEP.

16 Jan 2020 12:21:10
Gray and murry. Would be ideal.

16 Jan 2020 12:32:08
Also linked with El Khabchi and Marcus McGuane, both midfielders, but it's all media hype so far.

16 Jan 2020 18:48:55
McGuane has been agreed but as he is loaned out somewhere else till the end of the season we will have to pay compensation to his present loan club. So sort of agreed, nothing is simple at Forest.

16 Jan 2020 19:00:15
Can't we throw in Jason Cummins as our compensation to them? Two birds, one stone, simples.

16 Jan 2020 19:06:33
Jason Cummings is a Shrewsbury player.

16 Jan 2020 19:15:07
Just make sure we do no let him near TVs untill they accept him. 😁

16 Jan 2020 21:08:59
Looks like the Wickham enquiry has moved onto "talks".

I'd be happy with Wickham, personally. Reckon he'd come with a point to prove.

16 Jan 2020 21:17:40
What point would that be though, that he actually does know how to score a goal?
And after only managing 18 games in 4 seasons that he can stay fit?
I really hope we don't sign another sick note.

16 Jan 2020 21:52:09
He's got more than one point to prove wonky.

17 Jan 2020 09:02:02
He already proved that point, Ff79, on New Year's Day against Norwich. And the correct stats would be 8 starts and 16 sub apps in three and a half years, if we're being accurate :)

For me, he's still at a decent age where he's not physicially on the decline, he should be hungry and looking to make a statement. Worth a loan deal til May, in my opinion.

17 Jan 2020 22:52:24
Fair play sutty but you'd have to worry about his injury record?
Weve been down that road with fryatt and Hobbs, dangerous game.

15 Jan 2020 09:57:58
So carvalaho is an important part of my plans claims Lamouchi. That ship has sailed SL and if you want anything from him you play him down the middle not out wide. However, bored of saying this, carvalaho has not the pace, strength or power to stamp any authority on a game. He has failed to push for a starting position as obviously he can't do it in training either.

Disappointed to hear that SL is still going down this road. JC is history i would rather see Mighten given the wide birth and a decent no 10 brought in. Also getting tired of the high earners and 30+yr olds being linked with us. The financial implications of getting a goalscorer seem too risky, and could bite us as our history dictates. Would rather see a hungry prospect from the lower leagues at sensible money as to be fair staying top 6 this season should be acheivable with just a tweak to our attacking options and a midfield general!

15 Jan 2020 11:49:12
Good post Rutland.
JC hasn't justified his ridiculous price tag.
This transfer window will show how seroius forest are about promotion.

15 Jan 2020 13:22:35
We already have a hungry prospect from the lower leagues. He is called Tyler Walker and would cost us nothing.

15 Jan 2020 13:49:22
Yes redcyclist. I agree but it seems he us contracted till for the season. Weird one that.

15 Jan 2020 15:43:04
If they won't release Tyler Walker then we tell them that's the last time we loan them a player. Don't bit the hand that feeds you.

15 Jan 2020 17:51:51
Walker as found his level guys. He’s not what we need right now.
Prem beckons. We need a proven championship forward 2 preferably. We need a plan b of 2 upfront when playing 1 isn’t working. If Gayles injury isn’t that bad I’d pay his wages which would be a approx 1m for rest of season.
How much would we pocket if we get to prem at least 120m. definitely worth gamble. I’d also bring murry in to give us extra option tactically. Then all we need is a winger Get it done.

15 Jan 2020 18:02:05
Redred. count gayle out he is on £65000 a week and we have to this plus he wouldn't play second fiddle to grabben.
The board knew we needed another forward months ago but instead of being proactive nothing but rumours and lousy journalism has paired us with every striker in the country it seems.
If we aren't careful and grabben gets injured the goals would dry up!

15 Jan 2020 18:44:42
RedRed, SL isn't going to play 2 upfront, its not his style. So who sits on the bench Gayle who is costing us a lot of money, or Grabban who is scoring goals and is happy?

Thats why Walker would be better. Knows where the goal is and would be our main second striker.

15 Jan 2020 19:40:24
Walker is a developing player. He hasn't "found his level" at all. He was never a bad player just a young one learning. He is a goalscorer. They are hard to find.

Walker will have a decent career and would be great as one of three front men - which is how many we need if we have one up front. If we get an injury then we will still need two front men.

Walker has done well in matches against Premier League opposition in the past. Remember Newcastle in the cup? Probably not but I do. He is quick, strong now and knows where the net is.

15 Jan 2020 19:53:34
When he played for Warburton there was one game Walker had the ball come to him from the other teams goal area and from about 20 yards volled it straight in, it was a sight to see. I however have a dreadful memory as of who the other team was.

15 Jan 2020 21:57:07
Think it was QPR remember the goal.
His goal last night from 20 yards was a beauty as well.
He knows where the net is and will score in the championship, which he already has.
Red red just go to a casino mate and stick your house on red, it can't fail.
Playing two up front is definitely the way forward, I mean everyone plays it? 😊😊
Lamouchi is the best signing we've made in years so let him tell the owners what he needs, more likely to to se 3 up front than two with two holding midfielders.

15 Jan 2020 22:07:35
Rutland the answer is to ditch Silva he's far worst than carvalho.
You won't get any goals and no assists at all.
His record for clubs in Portugal shows he won't and at 27 he's not going to improve.

15 Jan 2020 22:37:42
Sorry he's 26 and played his football in Portugal in league two which is like our league one or two, enough said.

14 Jan 2020 17:44:55
rumour has it glenn murray, hamza choudhury and ansu fati could all come in this january on loan till the end of the season with possibility of fati and choudhury joining permanently. Choudhury would strenghten the midfield giving ben watson some competition in that holding midfield spot and fati would give forest some better and a bit of youth down that left hand side. carvalho looks to be on his way to olympiakos on loan whcih would leave a big hole going forward for forest. luke freeman looks to be the man to replace him so far but more names could be thrown into the pot as the january transfer window is soon over.

14 Jan 2020 18:06:50
Fati is a 17 year old, if the head coach will not play Mighten against a tired Reading Fati would not get into the first team.

14 Jan 2020 18:10:05
mrfletcher are you a detective, by any chance?

14 Jan 2020 18:21:06
He enjoys some porridge i think SG

14 Jan 2020 20:33:57
Give it a stir.

14 Jan 2020 21:12:15
Plenty of stirrers on here sgetty.

14 Jan 2020 21:36:05
I don't know what you mean pal. 😁.

15 Jan 2020 09:02:50
If Choudhury or Fati sign for Forest, on loan or permanently, in this window I'll streak at the next home game with a football jammed between my cheeks. That's a guarantee.

15 Jan 2020 15:08:03
I just love the idea of someone called 'Fatty' playing for us., makes for great chanting.

15 Jan 2020 18:41:28
Reidy Reidy Reidy!

15 Jan 2020 22:20:42
You must have big cheeks to keep a ball there while streaking? 🤣🤣🤣.
