Nah, it was for both of them the deal. I assume there’s nothing stopping them going ahead for just O’Brien now though

I know it's talkSPORT and they thrive off talking shite and getting a reaction out of people, but I couldn't believe Adrian Durham tipped Sunderland to win the league this season, on his show yesterday...

That's why I wonder if the joint fee might mess up a valuation of Toffalo if there was a sell on clause.
Could be legal issue?

Nottingham Forest move for Lewis O’Brien and Harry Toffolo back on after U-turn

A protracted deal taking Huddersfield Town duo Lewis O’Brien and Harry Toffolo to Nottingham Forest is back on after the latter’s extraordinary eleventh-hour decision to change his wage demands prevented the double switch from collapsing. The £10million deal for the Huddersfield pair looked to...

I find it incredible that certain “interesting individuals” keep turning up in potential football club takeovers. It just makes me feel the “fit and proper persons test” is NOT fit for purpose.
You only need to not have any spent criminal convictions & show proof of funds… and we know from the DCFC issues that some individuals seem to be able to show funds, but ultimately don’t !

Zack Steffen joins Middlesborough on loan from Man City. I know there was rumours early in the summer that potentially Moore was going to leave and people assumed it may have been to Boro to link with Wilder again, Zack would have been someone I’d have liked us to go for had that of happened

I personally like Gymshark clothes, did go through a phase of wearing Under Armour but thought the Gymshark t-shirts fitted better

Agreed. I’m also a fan of GymShark. I don’t find them expensive either, very reasonably priced, good quality, and if you manage to buy on one of their big sales you’ve hit the trifecta!

My only gripe is they have far too many designs so you end up sifting through too many pages on their website and sometimes they’ve only got the big fat c**t sizes left
They should have a clearance page where there’s only like one size left as opposed to having it all on the one page.

Anyways, he ain’t even the owner of GymShark anymore, he was ‘one of the founders’ but now bought Hera

Don't think he's owner (at least not majority, may have shares) or founder of Gymshark to be fair. Looks like he was CEO/Director previously though.

Not one of the founders. Wasn't associated with them until 3 years into their journey.

Ben Francis is the founder and CEO of Gymshark. Don't think he has anything to do with the takeover.

And you base that on the fa cup semi final alone? Being number 2 at Man City means he is rated.

How long did either of them have left on their contracts? £10 million for both, to a Premier League club.

Makes the perceived value of O'Hare interesting in comparison.

It’s more about what we can get someone else to pay than any objective sense of market value.

I think they could both do ok in the prem and Forest are in for Lingard as well, the advantage Forest have over the other two promoted teams is the manager.
