Is it worth typing all of that into Google Translate or have I basically got everything I need from “mucho dinero”?

Apologies, I guess I should've screenshotted. There is a translate button at the bottom of the tweet but I don't know if that shows for those sans twitter account.

Our golden nugget is that when you sign for Forest, you might also be signing for Olympic, so Champions league and titles almost every season.

Is this legit or is it the post reporting on a story from a fortnight ago?
It's actually quite sad that I didn't even look at the article - I just assumed the Post were rehashing old news.

I don't think they have had an exclusive for a decade.

And the rest Razar!

I'd suggest the NP has been relying on internet rumour, forums and other news outlets for content for the best part of 15-20 years.

Previous Forest correspondents built contacts and/or earned the trust of the club over a period of time. In the age of the internet that type of effort would be regarded as too much like hard work for local hacks like Clapson and Davies.

To be fair to them I don't think it's down to laziness on their part.

Newspapers just aren't the go-to news source nowadays. I would say that very few members of this forum buy a paper anymore, particularly those under 50. As a result the Post or the umbrella company they operate under decided the only way to stay active is through adverts on the website. Hence the click bait nature of post articles.

I don't think they have time nor can the Post afford for them to be out actually getting proper news. It wouldn't surprise me if they worked entirely from home.

Sounds like we've made our first bid today according to L'Equipe:

Is that a rehash of another article?

The sentence "A proposal whose amount has not filtered and which would be too far from Lyon's claims." had a ring of De Ja Vu about it.

Nottingham Forest have made an initial offer to Olympique Lyonnais to try and sign the midfielder. The offer, the amount of which has not been revealed, is too far from Lyon's expectations.

Different translation but makes it a little more clear.

You make a sensible point about the demise of the local newspaper, but if, as you say, they don't have the time to operate like proper journalists, they're obviously wasting too much time trawling the internet.

I'd also suggest that because the NP is now mainly viewed online, it doesn't stop them building a relationship with the local club in the traditional way in order to create accurate, first-hand news.

People generally seem to be excited about this one but have to admit I've never heard of the lad personally. My knowledge of European footballers is really weak though.

So much talent but not one for tracking back or pressing.

If you look at his data vs other attacking mids it's actually quite good for pressing and tackling, way above average. Vs centre mids his pressing isn decent, other defensive stats not great but you'd assume if he played deeper in our team it'd be in a 3 man midfield, suppose the benefit would be he offers us that versatility to swap between 3-5-2 and 3-4-2-1 in game. I know they're only highlights too but his videos show a player happy to take the ball on the edge of his own area on the half turn and with the confidence to beat men and bring it forward. I'd say he's comparable in style to somebody like Bernardo Silva (not saying he's as good as Silva), very, very hard to get the ball off but perhaps not the player who will play the killer ball in the final third.

It’s worth noting he has the same agent as a load of our signings, and including MGW, wouldn’t see us going for him unless they thought a deal could be agreed with the player.

By the sounds of the Moreno deal he did a last minute U-turn.
