I think they were looking to loan him out this window?This is a question for people in the know at the Forest academy. How good is Konate? From the reports I have read he is the star of the under 21s. How far is he away from SC squad.
To Sunderland I believe.I think they were looking to loan him out this window?

Konate...close to being 22, but is he close to the first team? You'd hope he's be knocking on the door for next season right?
I doubt many if any of our current crop will end up representing the first team given we're now spending £20m on every player like it's confetti.
Reality is the u23s are the same players that were there last season, when they couldn't break into a Championship side.
One of the longer term goals of the club once we've established ourselves in the top flight is to seek out new ways to get quality into the u23s so that they can realistically supplement the first team.
Isn't that BryanRoy? His posts are always a good read when it comes to the academy.Is there a bloke called Grant on the forum as on Twitter he knows loads about the academy etc? Really useful information.
Aha I did wonder if it was him as he’s the sponsor of this thread.Isn't that BryanRoy? His posts are always a good read when it comes to the academy.
On the other hand, we might save loads of money from bringing on existing homegrown talent. Konate, Taylor and Fornah look like they could make it, and I'm sure there are other prospects.I doubt many if any of our current crop will end up representing the first team given we're now spending £20m on every player like it's confetti.

I'm not sure we've seen anything of them to think they could be part of a mid table Premier League squad.On the other hand, we might save loads of money from bringing on existing homegrown talent. Konate, Taylor and Fornah look like they could make it, and I'm sure there are other prospects.
But players like Panzo and Harbottle are a lot younger. They still might go on to be better than the current CB pairing.I'm not sure we've seen anything of them to think they could be part of a mid table Premier League squad.
People are debating whether Championship stalwarts like Worrall and McKenna are good enough for us...
Exactly. If for no other reason, then because a clear example that first team football is a feasible future for the Academy lads is necessary for maintaining the success of the Academy.This season it makes sense to buy in established talent and send young stars out on loan, but even if we stay up there's an argument for keeping some of them around next season and giving them a chance. Not all at once, but here and there.
Joined Estoril of the Portugese Premier division for the remainder of the season. Good loan for him that is.Wondering if anyone knows what's happening with B. Aguilera.
Has his loaned ended and he's returned to Forest as part of the u23s as expected?
