Thanks Ed001.

{Ed001's Note - thank you mate. We are trying something new for this season of them. Hopefully you will officially announce the signing of Jesus soon as I know a fair bit about him. He played for the local team here before going back to Brazil, so I have heard a lot about him. I will try and get one of the local fans to come on and discuss him with us when we do that, if I can.}

23 Jun 2025 11:20:38
From what I've heard as soon as the club world cup has finished (or Botafogo go out) it'll become official, he's said his goodbyes to the Botafogo fan base in Brazil. I've been reading up on him, sounds like an excellent bit of business on our part. Fingers crossed he doesn't get injured on those dodgy pitches over the pond.

{Ed001's Note - that is what I expect as well, but I don't want to spend hours recording and editing a podcast about him and watching footage etc to do a player profile, only for the deal to fall through!}

23 Jun 2025 13:26:49
For anyone who's interested, 7pm start-8pm kickoff tonight. Botafogo are on channel 5action👍.

23 Jun 2025 14:57:57
Remember he's not a Forest player until he signs!
Forest could still get gazumped with other teams potentially expressing an interest.
Could become a bidding should Jesus continue to play well.

23 Jun 2025 15:16:42
Yes RRH I'm interested channel 33, I wonder if he's aware of the excitement about him over here in Blighty🙂.

23 Jun 2025 20:49:04
Clear and obvious error? VAR had no need to get involved, well done ref for sticking to his guns. Needless time waisting by VAR once again.

22 Jun 2025 23:45:02
So Iif Eanga goes to Newcastle?
Then we get Harvey Barnes plus money?

He's on a reputed 120 k a week
That deal will never happen.

23 Jun 2025 09:19:14
Ff. It wouldn't surprise me if the new contracts we are negotiating with our top players will be for that sort of weekly wage.

23 Jun 2025 10:52:14
I don't think Mr M wants to let any of our star players leave in the summer unless someone comes in with an astronomical bid.

23 Jun 2025 15:11:39
In Elangas head he's already a Newcastle player going by his media posts. Keeping our best players and attracting good players will take a massive financial cost to Mr Marinakis and could put us the wrong side of FFP rules, when we started last season the player on the most wages was the loanee James Ward Prowse, it shows our players was not massive earners by today's standards. A player like MGW has about 5 more years to earn peak wages, so you can see why he would be looking at making his future financially sound at another club!.

23 Jun 2025 16:55:23
I just wonder what Barnes would bring to our club? I believe he's 28 that's 5years older than elanga. Has he passed his peak? Or would he fit in with Nunos plans. I just don't think so, and besides what would his sell on value be, can't see a profit in him. Forest should leave well alone and get top dollar for elanga and spend it wisely on young blood.

23 Jun 2025 18:40:16
I read that Villa are interested in Barnes, but likewise may have to sell a player first🤷.

21 Jun 2025 07:38:34
Nunos signed a three year contract bringing stability to the coach/ manager position we hope, some players may now commit to stay?.

21 Jun 2025 10:13:54
No brainer! Great move and will establish stability and progress. Although this will, in many ways, be a tougher season than last.

21 Jun 2025 15:49:43
Agreed Stokey
It will be tougher. Now there are expectations. Thursday, Sunday/ Monday is very different. Always playing catch up.
Bumped into a Leeds supporter today who thinks we will be relegated.

21 Jun 2025 19:12:08
You could have pointed out that we are 14/ 1 to be relegated, while they are even money.

So a 50% chance of going down against a 7% chance.

Sure we will be fine.

21 Jun 2025 21:27:16
I think we’ve been found out so will need a plan B next season. I do think Leeds will stay up. It’ll be tight but I think they will - I do hope I’m wrong though 👍.

21 Jun 2025 22:22:58
Gazz
How loud did you laugh? 🤣🤣
Leeds will get relegated as got neither the team or the manager to stay up.

21 Jun 2025 22:39:46
Journey cunha hasn't signed to play second fiddle imo, plan b is then 3 at the back and plan c is wood and jesus playing as a pair?
Certainly gives nuno options.

21 Jun 2025 22:53:35
So do I.

20 Jun 2025 06:58:33
And Jesus scores again with Cunha keeping a clean sheet against PSG! This pair will be great signings. 🔴⚪️⚽️.

20 Jun 2025 10:30:07
Hope we have them signatures on contracts, Jesus has good hold up play and is tricky, just keep them injurie free in this tournament! 🤷.

20 Jun 2025 14:23:07
If the signing is nailed down, how lucky are we that they aren't still in the shop window?

COYR!

20 Jun 2025 20:51:46
Jesus looks absolute quality, could be a game changer, also is versatile, can play down the middle as a nine or in the wide positions.

22 Jun 2025 09:19:13
Not to be a downer buy you have signed no one. Botafogo have not Sold anyone officially and doubt they would before a world cup.

22 Jun 2025 10:30:27
Romano twitter post:

"Igor Jesus and Jair Cunha can be considered new Nottingham Forest players from Botafogo, deal sealed.

There are still details pending for Cuiabano deal."

22 Jun 2025 11:05:47
It's all to do with PSR, these signings will be officially declared in July.

19 Jun 2025 09:13:30
would be nice perhaps if we had Brentford fixture later in season as they may struggle to hold onto Mbeumo, Schade and Wissa (to us) not sure when transfer window opens but they would be a weakened team without them.

19 Jun 2025 11:18:15
Brentford and Palace could well have players poached by other teams when we play them, just hope we are not in the same position, and we can keep hold of our vital players.

19 Jun 2025 13:37:26
Wissa won't be coming here. he will go to Spurs.

19 Jun 2025 18:07:45
Hardly any chance of any London based players coming up to the shires, to many trappings down there. but on bright side of things it looks like the brittania club is finally going to be flattered. even the great unwashed at the university couldn't get it listed. As the planning committee said it has changed beyond it's original format. wonderful news.

19 Jun 2025 20:48:47
Nice to know that reds fans think so highly of the Brittania next door. In its history many reds and magpie players and staff frequented the club and many many happy memories were forged within. Having friendships with these players myself it will certainly will be missed.
At the Britt it was not the great unwashed within the club as the members wete trades people, sparkies chippies and the like. Hope the ghosts of bygone eras don't haunt the ground.
I bet stokey remembers the club, and has memories to cherish.

19 Jun 2025 23:22:59
Tell you something redsocks, it's a decision that needs to be made
Back in the day the nottingham council demolished the best iconic place nottingham had
Drury Hill, now that was iconic, Brittany doesn't even come close to thar and for what? A concrete shopping centre that's been demolished in my lifetime
We either get permission to extend the capacity or we move away
It's that simple abd then west Bridgford becomes less of a place.

20 Jun 2025 00:12:51
A new boat club has to be built first, in a location they want, or not on brick can be layed for the new stand!.

20 Jun 2025 00:15:45
I have memories too sedsocks, central market and victoria baths, both served the good people of Nottingham, but it didn't stop the wrecking ball. The britt stays at the cost of the new stand, is that what you want?. Toton is off the table, planning went in for new houses last week.

20 Jun 2025 05:02:37
It's a pity Nott's don't have a bigger attendance at there ground, we could have ground shared, and got the whole work done in one go at the City Ground. The way it's being done now, the redevelopment could take 4/ 5 years to complete!.

20 Jun 2025 08:14:07
Nah, call in the Chinese the work will be completed in no time. They are the master builder. although the HS2 project will not be completed before 2035 we could use there expertise. Now there, s a thought.
Nottingham city council broke so any influx of cash is a good head turner, like bying the city ground off the council.
Seen many changes at the city ground since my first visit to the ground in 1951 some for the good, the worst was erecting fencing around the pitch.

20 Jun 2025 10:54:18
Chinese builders are to busy building them coal fire power stations to make wind turbines to sell to us!. And not forgetting all them social housing projects what's going to be built?. It's a good time to be a craftsman 🙂.

20 Jun 2025 21:13:19
Summed up in a nutshell mossy, like Britain the tiny island can make a difference to workd climate
No point us doing anything whilst the Chinese, Indians, Russia and United States along with Brazil just carry on pollution.

18 Jun 2025 21:45:59
Decent start to season, I'd be aiming for around 10/ 11 points from them first 6.

18 Jun 2025 22:44:39
Hard to say redstripe as we don't know who we will sign, I'd say brentford won't have wissa or mbeuo
and a different manager so weakens them
It's a good start for us though.
