Yes, he's definitely one of those I think the club should push the boat out for if he does want to come rather than hold out for another club.

I'm confident he can make the step up, and his value will skyrocket after a decent season in the Premier League.

I think he'll be at Spurs by the end of next week, unfortunately. If they're paying close to £20m for him I'm not sure I'd want us to be in for him at that price.

They don't seem to be making a move at the moment from what I've read.

That's not to say they won't mind you. But it doesn't look imminent at the moment. I don't think his future will be resolved anytime soon. Its going to be one of those transfer sagas that drags on, though whether we stick around or move onto other targets is anyones guess.

What are they pissing around at?. Either they want him, in which case pay the dosh and get on with it, or they don't and its all been a giant hoax...

Whatever is necessary. If Boro are holding out for £20m I'd take him for that. Even if we were valuing him at a lower price before.

A lot of our targets look good on paper but we know for sure Spence can make the step up and fit in like a glove to our system.

If I'm ranking priorities from this point on its...

1. Tie up Johnson and Cooper to new deals.
2. Sign Spence
3. Sort out the goalkeeping mess by either bringing Henderson in or giving Samba a new deal.
4. Sign a striker (Taiwo whatshisname)
5. Sign Morgan Gibbs-White

If we did that and padded out the squad a bit I think I would just about combust in excitement. But yeah Spence would be amazing and easy for me to say as uts not my money but if we possibly can I'd be trying to get him even if the fee and wages were a bit more than we'd like...

if for all the rumoured interest over the last 6 months or so there's been no official bids we should just lowball Boro with something like 10m and see what happens.

Let's be fair, they still would probably play Izzy Jones there next season wouldn't they?

Whilst we do have Laryea and can probably play the long game and look at other targets, we know this lad fits in.

Yes. I’d also want two of those paddings to be Zinks and Lowe. I know neither are massive favourites but we know they work at this club.

I really think he could. There's been lots of flirting with talk of bids...but there's been very few transactions in the prem so far. 2nd week July usually you see players move...if he doesn't then the poor guy could be at Middlesbrough...surely bizzare. Gut feeling is that Forest have bid..

Middlesbrough did us a massive favour by not recalling Djed in January. Considering they were very much in the playoff mix and we were a rival. They’ll now reap the rewards one way or another.

Djed played his heart out for us from start to finish and secured his place in recent Forest folklore. He’ll reap the rewards one way or another.

We have already reaped. But still hoping Spurs aren’t interested to the tune of £20m and we are still in with a shot of getting him back at the WFCG…

I wouldn't low ball them-they will know what Boro will accept (from the agent) and if its sub 20M I'd slap it on the table and see what happens. If it forces Spurs hand (and that's what DJ wants) then so be it. Theres sod all to loose but the fannying around ought to stop...

It's Djed's loan to us that has raised his profile. If it wasn't for Forest teams like Spurs wouldn't be in the slightest bit interested. He wasn't going anywhere at Boro, and his value wasn't that high, we have allowed him to flourish and vastly increase his value. Obviously Boro want to make the most of that and get the best monetary return for him biut if they thought they could have our pants down after the way we developed him and brought him on it looks as if we're not playing that game. We're looking elsewhere.

Before the Nicholas Randall introducing signings meme, Forest would often be caught showcasing player signatures signing a completely blank piece of paper.

I thought Spurs would have wrapped this one up by now.

I wonder if they're not as interested as previously thought?
