    Premier League standard 

    Gunn

    Rowe

    Sainz

    Sargent 

    Sara

     

    Borderline

    Kenny

    Nunez

     

    Basically we would need to sign an entire back 4. On the plus side, defenders are the cheapest players to buy. 

    Kenny is nowhere near PL standard. Too slow too error prone. Doesn’t score enough, doesn’t create enough etc. As you can gather I’ve never been his biggest fan. However, I will hold my hand up and when he’s played as a CB his long range passing has been very useful. Not so his short passing at times! 
     

    Nunez is improving each game and could adapt to PL football as it’s less physical.

    Absolute quality ... a poor man's Wes 

    He’s make a great alternative to Barnes playing just behind the striker like Stiepermann or Wessy. 
     

    The creativity in our team with O’Hare, Sainz & Rowe behind Sarge. Not a bad front 4. Along with Nunez and Sara behind them.

    I’ve been a big critic of Kenny. I’ve never seen how he got in the team ahead of others and he has lots of deficiencies in midfield ie too slow, can’t tackle, doesn’t track his runners, he doesn’t score or create enough.

    However, this season has been his best, some of his long passing has been very good, his effectiveness has been far better. I still worry about the crazy passes around our boxes but on the whole Kenny has gone up in my estimation.

    Probably not a popular opinion on here but I don't think we should be going out to sign anyone just because Forshaw is gone. My view was always that all he was doing was blocking Gibbs' so now that he's gone it should allow him more minutes. There's also the Sorensen question and maybe Knapper wants to get him more time so he can make a decision there too.

    Hwang and Forshaw out is a good start imo, both contributed little this year and hardly long term assets either.

    Gibbs needs a loan somewhere. He hasn’t impressed me so far. I appreciate he’s young and will improve so I’m not beating him up. He may well make it. At the moment a loan to Derby or somewhere would do him good until the end of the season. Knapper can clear out the squad in the summer and we’ll see where Gibbs is at then. It maybe another loan for next season too.

    Who would have thought a thread about the Liverpool game would have this

    "Looks like we've taken roughly 2,500 tickets, across three lower-tier blocks."  NewNest Canary - lovely lolly at Liverpool

    Sorry so don’t have time to read every post on the site. Did have a quick look and couldn’t see anything.

    Am I the only one who thinks these players make no impact when they play. Springett, Gibbs, Placheta, Nunez, Onel, Idah (when he starts games), Foreshaw.  I’ve never seen any of these players boss a game.  The younger players need to go out on loan to a lower league team to gain more experience. Idah needs to be loaned out to a Derby or someone so he can build up his confidence and learn to dominate games more. The older players need to be released/sold at the end of the season.

    We should loan him out to Plymouth and buy Whittaker in exchange. Whittaker looks very handy. Maybe with a better run in a team Idah will find his 90 minute feet in this league. In the meantime we’ll have two decent strikers (Sarge and Whittaker).

    it won’t be cheap but it will make our forward line very potent.

    We need to go back to the Lambert school of recruitment where he wanted players who have a history of playing 40 matches plus per annum. The sooner we do that the sooner we don’t waste wages on players who are always injured.

    No thanks. Players of his ability I would rather be shipped out and improvements made. Stop gapping positions should not be needed unless an injury crisis and for once its not needed.

    We don’t have the money so why not use him until the end of the season and then Dimi, McCalum and Sorensen are all out of contract so we can clear the wage bill and start again.

    We need to do a Chelsea, send as many young players out on loan in the Championship and lower league clubs as possible.  This will tell us if the players are up to the level with prospects or for us to get rid of them. if they are not up to it maybe we can get a fee with a potential sell on in case they do make it.

    To me this transfer absolutely reeks of dodgy dealing. Forest have spend 11 million and he has made the subs bench once. This is a team in the football pyramid 5 or so places above the scum who basically have a bunch of lower league player. Can they really afford to spend those sums on a player who doesn’t play at all.
     

    Although never openly confirmed lots of players are bought and sold on bequest of their agents to specifically gain preferential terms for the agents other clients. Am I remembering right that Andrew O is represented by the same people who “advised” a certain Todd Cantwell. I wonder if this transfer was a fluff to ultimately get Forest someone else. See the case if Man Utd and the mysterious Bebe. Saying that now Nuno has arrived it is likely that many other Jorge Mendes players will arrive.

    Big Andy went for the huge pay rise. It secures his future. Forest bought potential. So far it hasn’t paid off for them. 
    I think sometimes just because a young player plays for Norwich doesn’t make them PL material. Big Andy was a prime example. He wasn’t our best player in the Championship so not a bad deal to get the money we did for them.

    We got promoted previously with Sorensen at LB why not put him back there when he’s fit instead of McCallum who is a wing back rather than a Full Back. I’m not a fan of Ginnoulis neither to be honest. At least Sorensen has a footballing brain, can tackle and pass.

    Who would pay up the remainder of his contract ?

    I would have thought that we would pay him a salary we can afford and whatever is the shortfall Forest will pay until the end of his original contract.
