I suspect some of the add-ons will be things like England apps or top 6 finish with a certain amount of apps for instance. Hence why the add ons are so significant. I imagine the deal would've been structured in a similar fashion to Maddison's.

Justin for £6M and Stacey for £4M wasn't it? Think Justin's fee had the potential to rise to £10M with instalments to be fair but that doesn't mean he was sold for £10M. Some of the clauses which activate the instalments may never happen.

I think you mean they sold two full backs for £10M

Considering we don't need to sell I think we'll be driving a hard bargain. As a result, I'd be surprised if we let him go for 700K. Given the amount we invested, coupled with the length of his contract and the fact we'll obviously need to replace him I think MR is probably looking for a bid...

Think sending him to the National League at a club like Solihull Moors would do him the world of good. He's only 20 so he's got time to show that he has a future with us so any talk of offloading him permanently is ludicrous.

Not all that surprising. I think realistically the writing was on the wall once the bid came in.

Ben Turner / Cyrus Christie. Christie was settled by tribunal but still plays at a higher level

I think the signings of Drysdale and Williams spelled the end for Thompson. Wouldn't be surprised if he never came back as his contract is up next summer. Suppose it depends on how he does this season though.

Are we taking him on pre-season as a reaction to 'big fish' sniffing around, or does he genuinely deserve a spot?

With up to 10 players departing who do we think is off either permanently or on loan? My guess is: Addai - Loan Hickman - Permanent Thompson - Loan Brown - Permanent Maycock - Loan Wakefield - Loan Allassani - Loan Bosma - Permanent Ponti - Loan Chaplin - Permanent

That's fair enough. Although what we should be paying and what Nottingham would accept could potentially be worlds apart. If Barnsley can cough up a decent amount of up front money for Chaplin such a figure wouldn't be totally out of reach.

I do agree with you, but I was just using McNulty as an example because you claimed that no one would pay such a fee for a striker that has only had one successful season. I'm simply saying that it's unlikely he'll be within budget as they are within their rights to demand whatever fee they want...

McNulty was sold for seven figures after one successful season? Had the same length of contract, a similar goalscoring record in his one successful season, was older and wasn't home grown. I suppose the difference is, is that Walker isn't a starter at Forest so he may not go for seven figures as...

Interesting that they've revealed the number sold when they've previously claimed that they're refusing to do that.

Depends how much they'd want. Walker is still held in quite high esteem there and he's still got two years left on his contract. Factor in his age and how well he did last season I'd be inclined to guess they'd be within their rights to demand a seven figure fee for Walker's services.

That's essentially what my mate said. It's highly unlikely he'd get ahead the likes of Grabban for instance, so as you say he'll need to evaluate his options - similar to what Jorge Grant has done. But he also pointed to the fact that a number of players horrendously underperformed last season...

I think to put it simply, if it's not been signed on paper then once the new manager comes in, whatever prior agreement has been made is worthless. Even if the board has given a verbal agreement, if the manager has the backing of the board and feels that he wants Walker as part of his plan this...

Surely their new manager could potentially throw a spanner into the works though with regards to Walker? I spoke to my mate who's an avid Nottingham Forest fan and he feels the new manager may want a look at him or may want to sell as they're once again looking to spend in the window but need to...

Once he gets going there's no stopping Jobello. I feel he'll be a real handful next season, especially if he's against full backs that lack pace.

Addai- Loan Thompson - Loan Drysdale/Williams - Loan Hickman - Listed Brown - Sold Maycock - Loan Bosma - Released Allassani - Loan Chaplin - Sold Ponti- Loan Bayliss could be sold depending if the right bid comes in.
