RUMOUR:
Nottingham Forest identify Mehdi Taremi as number one target
According to The Athletic, the Reds are eyeing one of four new striker targets with a varying degree of quality, and now the number one target has emerged.
It’s believed that Taremi is the number one striker target for this month, with the 33-year-old currently playing for Evangelos Marinakis’ other club, Olympiacos.
1.) 13 Jan 2026 12:27:46
This one looks a realistic acquisition, as a footballer he looks like he could do the business, just hope he doesn't use Nottingham Forest to spout his politics seeing as he's a close friend of the Iranian President!
2.) 13 Jan 2026 15:32:41
You would have thought we'd show a little more ambition than someone that's probably 2 years from retirement as our main target, oh hang yeah we signed a young French center forward for big bucks. Crazy transfer policy imo. ?.
3.) 13 Jan 2026 16:29:59
Kalimuendo scored a very good goal against Utrecht then promptly gets dropped for the next game!, unless Kalimuendo wanted away can not understand it, so now Taremi is the emergency forwards we are forced to look at and hope they can salvage the season.

Mossy
I’ll be really miffed if Trump bombs the WFCG just to get at our centre forward mate! ??.
5.) 13 Jan 2026 17:36:33
Red Robin, mate, Chris “Plankov” Wood scored 20 plus goals for us last season aged 33? If this lad is half as good it’s a plus, ambitious or not surely?
6.) 13 Jan 2026 18:33:46
Stokey if he comes, Taremi has plenty of opinions he's never apologized for expressing, and Trump needs all the oil tankers Mr Marinakis has for Venules oil, so the City Grounds safe ?.
7.) 13 Jan 2026 19:03:15
Mossy, many thanks for your reassurance mate! ???He sounds a rarity, a footballer with opinions and a bit of character?
8.) 13 Jan 2026 19:03:52
Stokey do you know anything about Taremi? Honestly he's not exactly a world beater, modest goal scoring record and only moved to decent clubs recently in his career (porto and inter). Wood had bagged goals in the Premier league prior to last seasons efforts so already knew the league, the culture, the style and is a naturalised English speaker.
Just find it all extremely underwhelming, the Wolves lad is available, just go and get him if that's the style of forward Dyche wants. At least looking at the size of the forwards we're being linked with Dyche should be slightly happier, all massive and they fit his cretaceous style. ??.
9.) 13 Jan 2026 19:47:39
Take no notice of these rumours
None of it ever happens
Same sources same outcome
NOTHING.
10.) 13 Jan 2026 20:55:05
DTP if we all took no notice would there be any point in the rumours section? Rumours involving transfers is entertaining and we all love it. (apart from you of course telling us what to do once again, DTPs neighbourhood watch). ?.
11.) 13 Jan 2026 21:02:56
Red Robin, no mate I don’t know anything about Taremi. I know much more about Strand Larson having seen him play a few times. I think he might do a job for us but I’m only guessing here. Who knows what Edu and the recruitment team have lined up as Woody replacement. But SD will have told them what he wants.
12.) 13 Jan 2026 21:27:23
Yeah but i doubt we could get a kit big enough to fit a diplodocus. ??.
13.) 13 Jan 2026 21:40:29
Just saying winter
They get nothing right
Carlisle now a Argentina striker that won't happen.
14.) 13 Jan 2026 22:24:09
We can get better than Larsen in the summer for less money than Larsen. Like with the manager, they are looking for a stop gap I hope. Why buy Dyche players, he's toast this summer?
15.) 13 Jan 2026 22:44:25
We won't buy dyche players.
11 Jan 2026 15:20:47
RUMOUR:
“Nottingham Forest close to Youssef En-Nesyri signing: According to NTV Sport, Forest have had a bid accepted for the Morocco striker, although there are still some details to finalise before he can move to the Reds. ”
Linked with West Ham in just about all of the past five transfer windows, the prospect of Sevilla’s former striker from European Conference League days landing at our relegation rivals would hardly be welcome news.
1.) 11 Jan 2026 16:45:17
If Edu has anything to do with it he’s probably got one leg to stand on, no pace and a bad attitude to training.
2.) 11 Jan 2026 22:42:40
Since Mourinho got sacked at Fenerbahce En - Nesyri has lost his place to the ex- Villa player who went to Saudi, Duran. If he comes here very risky purchase.
3.) 12 Jan 2026 00:02:41
Risky but possibly a master stroke, En-Nesyri is a tall, powerful striker. Often praised for his heading abilities. Being quick he's great on the counter. Apparently his movement in the box is outstanding. If we can get a tune out of him maybe, just maybe cretaceous ball might work with someone like him leading the line. ?.
4.) 12 Jan 2026 20:20:04
I don't think this deal will ever happen
Every rumour that comes out of turkey has never turned into a signing since we got promoted.
08 Jan 2026 23:29:29
RUMOUR:
Apparently Napoli want Ndoye. They are interested in a swap deal for Lorenzo Lucca.
Lucca looks like a Wood replacement to me.
1.) 09 Jan 2026 00:16:16
For background, Napoli were trying to sign Ndoye from Bologna when we got him.
2.) 09 Jan 2026 02:48:21
If we must, rather have Lucca than Strand Larsen, more realistic owing to PSR.
3.) 09 Jan 2026 11:02:40
It states forest have told napoli that they don't intend to sell Ndoye
Lucca is only on loan at napoli from udinese so any deal would be complicated.
4.) 09 Jan 2026 18:30:29
IF Napoli want rid and Udinese want money, it won't be that hard. I saw a rumour he doesn't want to come to England at this stage of his career, but again, money talks.
He does look like a Wood type player to me. If Wood is going to get fit soon, we don't need him. If Wood is not coming back soon, we definitely need a player like this.
5.) 09 Jan 2026 18:53:44
Think there is more chance of signing larsson from wolves cyclist.
6.) 09 Jan 2026 19:44:35
If they aren't prepared to loan out Larsson, I don't think we have the money unless we sell.
Who are we selling this window? If nobody, then I'd expect a loan.
I don't think Larsson is going to take us to another level so why get lumbered with him permanently if we aren't in danger of going down?
7.) 09 Jan 2026 22:29:30
No striker will cyclist
The problem lies with tactics.
8.) 11 Jan 2026 09:15:41
Nobody edu brings in will help thus team not so much about tactics it's the rejects we bought in cheers edu ?.
02 Jan 2026 09:53:05
RUMOUR: Eds, is this likely to be possible?
This is a big one.
Consequently, the manager could be left a little light on options at striker, meaning he may need to bring in a new option, and Nottingham Forest have now made contact over a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers star Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Strand Larsen is now deemed likely to exit Molineux this month, given that the Old Gold are almost certainly going to be relegated from the Premier League, and Forest have now lodged an initial enquiry.
A deal could be on the expensive side, however, with it being revealed Wolves are planning to hold out for a fee of £40m, and forking out the full asking price would make the Norwegian the most expensive signing in Nottingham Forest's history.
Expect a loan with obligation to buy so no big initial fee is needed.
Will this happen if we don't let one name go? It might be with a loan then buy option.
{Ed001's Note - he is keen to leave Wolves, he is still unhappy about a move to Newcastle breaking down. The two parties are looking now to move him on, as Wolves have realised keeping an unhappy player was a mistake.
Echoes of Gibbs-White perhaps?}
1.) 02 Jan 2026 10:40:50
We are desperate for goals right now. MArinakis should be on the phone now (when he's finished lining up Brendan Rogers to take over when Dyche loses to Villa and Nuno's West Ham).
2.) 02 Jan 2026 12:04:35
I think Rogers has taken a job in Saudi?, Mendes is having a big say in purchasing players it seems at West Ham, is Mendes Larsen's agent, not checked, but read they was interested in him.
3.) 02 Jan 2026 13:58:57
If Kalimuendo is really off to Frankfurt, we must be lining up a striker.
4.) 02 Jan 2026 19:01:56
What's the fetish with Rogers cyclist?
He's not available anyway, so makes no difference.

RUMOUR ROUND UP:
According to the information of Manchester City insider ‘Tolmie’s Hairdoo’ on X, the Etihad Stadium club remain confident that they can secure Nottingham Forest and England international midfielder Elliot Anderson – and are in no rush ahead of the summer.
According to La Repubblica, Milan have placed the out-of-favour Morato on a shortlist of defensive targets for the January transfer window.
Nottingham Forest have identified Brighton's 20-year-old English midfielder Jack Hinshelwood among a number of possible January transfer targets. He is a DM or RB and England U21 international. Right profile for Forest but listed as £24M on Transfermrkt.
1.) 31 Dec 2025 14:36:01
Oh, Hinshelwood is listed as €24M so about £21M.

Carrick in line to be Man U interim coach. Snap him up for Forest while it's still possible.
1.) 12 Jan 2026 06:58:21
I think man Utd are missing a golden opportunity here, why don't they have Carrick and Solskjaer as a management partnership instead of one person in charge, could take some pressure of running that club!.
09 Jan 2026 22:16:09
Gingersaurus OUT!
Wake up. Anyone who thinks he should be Forest manager should admit they know nothing about football.
1.) 09 Jan 2026 22:19:34
Exactly he will be gone this week with edu thank gid.
2.) 09 Jan 2026 22:24:56
Doubt anyone disagrees with you cyclist
I said i didn't want him anywhere where near the club before he got the gig
But he's here and marinakis won't sack him till end of the season
Tbh for the fan with no allegiance it was a proper good fa cup tie with more twists and turns than the great robbo had.
3.) 09 Jan 2026 23:37:46
A good fight back but should we have had to in the first place, No. Some players are given a perfect opportunity to impress, and don't grasp the chance, being subbed at half time isn't good enough for Premier League players against a championship team!, time to regroup, two big games coming up.

????? spot on.
06 Jan 2026 21:59:59
TIme for MArinakis to pull the plug on this coach. NOt good enough.
Absolute garbage. Glad we got the three points but boy are we lucky.
On the plus side, VAR went our way for once.
COYR!

Well we didn't in that game Lego, we were absolute rubbish against a veryu poor side. If we need to be lucky to beat them we are in the ?.

Hi Eds, can you permit my new avatar so everyone knows where I stand when I post after the Forest game, please?
Dyche is a clown!

Nice one Cyclist mate but Henry 8th has no connections with Forest. ????.

I'm a bit busy at the moment, and although this delusional defending of the indefensible is barely worth a reply, I'm sick of letting this nonsense slide. I'll be replying in more detail later.
Don't be fooled fellow trickies, just because someone can spell and has the spare time to write an essay where a few words will do, it does not mean what they write is based on football nous or tactical insight. Stokey's post may be opinion, but it's a wrong one. Plain and simple.
Dych is a bottom half manager, with outdated tactics not fit for modern football. The sooner he gets the fook out of my club, the better.
Sack Gingersaurus please, Marinakis!

The have citing in rugby. If a serious offence occurs and the officials miss it during the game, you can be punished after the game. If we did that in football for serious fouls and diving, it would be a game changer.
For me, trying to con the ref is serious. It is straight up cheating. It attempts to get a penalty or a player sent off and decides matches. It is the ultimate insult to the laws of the game and anyone watching it. They should get a 5 game ban if cited for attempting to pervert the course of a game, trying to get a fellow professional sent off or any other simulation.
Why have all this tech and let players cheat. Everybody knows they are cheating. Punish them.
Rather than referees doing the citing, a panel of ex players appointed by the PFA (players Union) should be able to review any incident and retrospectively find a player guilty. It isn't difficult to organise.
07 Jan 2026 11:41:23
DTP, do you really think we were miles better? We looked rubbish against a terrible team, the worst in the Prem at the moment. We needed a VAR penalty and a set piece which was a pretty lucky goal or we'd have lost 1-0.
07 Jan 2026 09:32:33
I'm happy for the poor fans who made the trip down to watch that display. At least we fluked a win. My son's Grandad is a Hammers fan, but I'm not feeling sorry for Nuno. He made his bed.
