[sammy the snake]

Is it fuckin worth it?

 

[BryanRoy]

Is it fuckin worth it?

Suppose not.

Just be good to not have to go to the transfer section to moan.

Personally I hope we don't bring in any tom, dick or harry and if we bring anything in, it is only a loan.

 

[trent end loyal]

Whose in charge of bringing in/selling anyone anyway?.

 

[BryanRoy]

Whose in charge of bringing in/selling anyone anyway?.

Fawaz Al Hasawi with the help of Michael Jarman.

 

[Googler]

I don't think we will see many of the incomings but I expect a number of outgoing to be on the cards late Tuesday night after the Rotherham game

I think calling Percy a journalist is taking it a bit far

Best YouTube has is some youth team stuff. By what I've seen and (mostly) read he's a strong, talented box to box with a bit of skill but injury prone...

Journalist? Now i know your bullshitting

 

[garibaldi]

Injury prone? Why are we loaning injury prone players when we've got £15 million from our last two sales to spend or partially spend?

Maybe I am just a serial moaner but we should be investing more than this, especially considering all those links are loan signings.

We have recouped almost £20m in player sales this season alone for fucks sake. Spend some f***ing money if you have any care for the club at all.

We haven't really paid a fee for two and a half years, I don't think we will start now.

Tbh we don't know who the coach is and who is taking us forwards. We already have too many players here that could easily just sit and do nothing with a new coach coming in.

To us our money there needed to be some planning and you know what the answer is to that.

But we know there isn't really any money to spend with anyway as majority the sale money is being used to fund operating costs.

 

[Strummer]

We won't buy anyone permanently.

Our gormless owner is using the money from the sales of Burke and Lansbury to plug the gaping holes in our accounts, most of which of course have been caused by his own incompetence.

Expect a couple of disinterested loaners to see us struggle for the rest of the season.

The massive wage bill, huge debts, decrepit stadium and a thousand other ways the club loses money more than covers any profit from player sales. If loans / cheap signings are enough to keep Forest in the division until Fawaz (hopefully) leaves sometime before next season, it's probably the best way to go rather than be lumbered with any more expensive deadwood on ludicrous wages.

I am not suggesting we go out and spent big money on wages, but a transfer fee for a young player from the lower divisions is not a bad move for anybody, especially if it's the clubs money anyway. An Omar Bogle or Bradley Dack is a good signing that will cost a fee, but won't join on large wages so it's sustainable and you are getting handy players. If £6million of the "Burke money" was avalible for the last manager, why isn't it being spent now - because the way he describes it is that he disagreed with the manager for not spending the money. f***ing spend it now, then.

Also, we don't actually have a massive wage bill anymore, we have a few large earners but pretty much all of them are out of contract in the summer.

But seriously why do you want the money spent?

So you can see fawaz spend his money?

Over priced journeymen is what will be on offer to a club in our position in the January transfer window


We don't even have a permanent gaffer making the calls


End of season loans are our best bet. And to sell the shite that was brought in by Pedro

They can all go

Kasami back to Greece would be a god send and bendtner has gone in the transfer list now


Good job

So we don't spend any money and we get cheap shit players, but if we do spend money it's over-priced journeymen.

Money spent gets you good players, that's the bottom line. Doesn't guarantee it, but it certainly helps. The only player we have purchased for a transfer fee for 2 and a half years is Vellios - and he is head and shoulders out best signing of the summer. If they are free, they are usually free for a reason.

The reason I want money spent is we are floating above the relegation zone and have recouped almost £20m this season.

 

[BryanRoy]

All shit characters, all injury prone, all shit footballers ideally need to leave in the summer.

The re-build would be glorious if we had a structure like the Americans had in place.

So I see the summer being a very slow one because the above is so far from happening now. If we don't get relegated this season, next season will be dead certs if things don't change.

Can only see loan players arriving, without a perm mananger, can hardly sign perm players.

Also loans are low risk, better to have 5 or so in time for tuesday deadline.
assuming Kasami leaves, and Dumitru is seen no more.

First of all you are believing there is money to spend and second of all you are believing there is a plan in place using a scouting network. We have nothing but one man with a couple of lackeys running around him.

Oh I know. It's an absolute joke.

Having no scouting network is absolutely baffling to me. Even non-league clubs who can't even employ full time staff have a f***ing scouting network.
