The implication of what you’re saying is that you’d give in to all of Wasps’ demands. Imagine if the European Courts ruled in ‘our’ favour, Wasps has to pay the council whatever they do. Had we signed up to their demands, it would be us footing the bill and probably bankrupting us in the...

I agree with Badlan too. Thomas had enough chances to have ended with well over double figures in goals in the league. Hiwula finished with 12 league goals after a relatively slow start too. As for Chaplin and Bakayoko specifically, they are being completely wrote off far too soon. They scored...

Robins has been better than Mowbray for Coventry City. Our recruitment strategy has been head and shoulders better under Robins: - Targets have been identified and brought in much earlier - Long term strategy; investing in development players who have potential to start in 1st XI e.g. Hyam -...

My initial thoughts too. However, it’s worth considering that Forest would get potentially the most out of him this summer as he’ll only have 1 years left on this contract next summer. I’m looking forward to the rest of the transfer window

I'm not so sure, Forest are looking to get promoted from the Championship so may be looking at higher profile players. It's not obvious that strikers who can get 20+ goals in L2 can do it in the Championship. McNulty and Mo Eisa being recent examples.

That’s all you had to say instead of using the silliest of examples.

1 season and we signed him years after then. Using the most ridiculous examples is just counterproductive. Scepticism is good, they are risks. Just as all signings are. A quick check on google for Jobello and Kastaneer demonstrates why O’Donovan is a v poor example.

You’re just being silly now.

Probably would be if I was a supporter of a 3rd division team.

We could probably dredge up some sceptical comments about Bright when he first joined. So it wasn’t immediately obvious he’d be a good player for us. How many players have we signed from abroad since Gunnar and Mifsud? Malaga, Slager and Manset (he was at Reading and Carlisle before us)? How...

Did they do that with Bright?

Bright’s record before us was not appealing in Scotland nor in the Championship. On the face of it, we’ve signed a Ligue 2 and Eredivisie player. On the surface, this is very encouraging as we are in L1 and signing players in higher leagues than us. I do, however, share the same concern as...

With the exception of Gunnarsson, these came from the lower divisions abroad. It’s also worth noting that those latter two players were signed when we were absolutely skint and had no scouting network. It appears real thought has gone into these signings!

Malaga played 3 times in their top league. This new guy has been playing in the Eredivisie since he was 17, with short stints in their 2nd division and 2. Bundesliga. I maintain scepticism with these signing too. As I outlined earlier. In terms of attributes, I like these signings on paper!

The eredivise is the Dutch 1st division.

Agreed! Kastaneer and Jobello seem like players with a lot of upside, fast, athletic and technical wingers who can play on either side. The kind of players we should be looking to sign in my view. Very interesting recruitment policy, Badlan could be our best signing in years if things go well...

They are in the Eredivisie, and scored 2 in 21, with 1 assist. Not terrible, but not great. You’d suspect he’ll do better in L1!

Jones is injured, we have to plan accordingly! As for Hiwula, 12 goals from the wing... he’ll probably play up front next season! If we don’t sign Bright, I can see us playing 4-4-2 next season.

I’ll be annoyed if he doesn’t sign. I didn’t ever expect him to sign with us, but the hints and promises is a twatty thing to do if he doesn’t sign. I’m hopeful, I think it’s also a good move for him too. But, I’m not going to hold breath over it.

The way our fans hark on, everyone is a replacement for Bayliss...
