cambridgeshire canary 6,668 Posted June 20, 2022 Pretty good for Union, but not too sure he's going to cut it or keep them up in the Prem. Then again I'm always wrong so he will probably score 30 and keep them up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badger 2,404 Posted June 21, 2022 It will be interesting to see how he gets on. Although he was at Liverpool for 6 years, he has never played a game in British football. He has had one good season in the Bundesliga: it is the sort of risk that newly-promoted clubs have to take, even if they have plenty of money. I wonder if it means the Keinan Davis deal is off?

By Hook or Ian crook 917 Posted June 21, 2022 The only real way to know will be to wait and see, most of us probably thought last season was a very good transfer window on paper before the season started for us. I would like to see forest do well they are a club with a lot of history and I was always fond of Clough and Des Walker too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when clough brought forest from relative obscurity to champions of Europe it was just about as impressive feat as you’ll find in football. My fondness a was more for Clough than anything as I was a great admirer of how he liked to play football and he was one hell of an entertaining interview. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with that but sometimes my petty-mindedness takes over - worked with a fairweather Forest fan who for a number years pretended not to be interested, but stumbled across a social media post last year in which he had clearly become interested again. As I felt he was a right to**er anyway, I found myself wanting them to collapse at Wembley so that I could go and see how long he stayed interested again. Does that make me a bad person? 😇 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean surely I didn’t have to spell it out but it appears I do… How are they able to spend £17.5m on a punt up front without selling their star player and yet we got priced out of buying anyone half decent over £10m and £60k a week wages? If they go down are they going to struggle financially with big splurges like this? Or is it the fact their owner would just bail them out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said, I dont really care, hence why I havent given it a little thought, however with that said.. There owner has so far invested £110m from the point in which he took over in addition to plans redevelop their ground. They are hardly a comparable for us.

It was so obvious a striker was required and yet nothing was done. indeed in Summer, Webber identified the likes of Robert Andrich as a key target and yet we baulked at a relatively low £60k a week?
