Misses the champ
I could understand it if he was a Left Back and we're sending Tavaras back to Arsenal. However he's a right back and we currently have 4 of those.

Don’t worry we’ve got about 12 lined up for 10:30 on Wednesday evening.
The way the Greeks buy, we’d have more success getting something from the line up of the 2:30 at Kempton on Wednesday

We need 1 keeper, 2 pacey wingers and a striker. Don’t go fannying around with other positions. If FFP means we can’t sign people than keep Origi and promote a young winger and shelvey.

I think we'd get neigh luck from there, or just a load of donkeys

First Team Squad
Transfer possibility’s
Mangala to Lyon - hopefully permanent 25m
Worrall to Besiktas - hopefully 5m+
Divock Origi - Terminate Loan
Williams - interest
McKenna - Interest
Probably other players that have interest

i reckon that’s feasible

Think Worrall will go for somewhere in the region of £5-6m. Can't see anyone offering a deal for McKenna to make selling him worthwhile, given that he's out of contract in the summer.

Nottingham's dirty secret
Will Unwin says we have 3 wingers/attacking mids on our list:

Reyna
Sarr
Bryan Gil

I really hope we get Reyna🙏. Gil would be underwhelming

Agreed.

Keeping McKenna as cover makes sense to me
Keeping McKenna and selling Worrall makes more sense for a variety of reasons. McKenna is out of contract in the summer so we wouldn't get much for him and cost us several million, we've probably also done a few of the addons on the McKenna deal too since we got promoted etc.
McKenna is also probably the better player of the two, he usually looks like he has a mistake in him but when he doesn't he is usually more solid than Worrall.
Worrall will also make more profit for us which will help with FFP as he cost us nothing.
 
I see we are still writing off players before they’ve signed, which is slightly better than writing off players before they’ve played (Omobamidele).

Outside of the goalkeeper (which it looks like we are pursuing hard) and a few back-up wingers (in case of injury) then the signings mentioned look decent enough to me. I’d be very happy with Sarr or Sa!

If Mangala and Worrall are sold and Origi returns (to Milan) we’ll see 30m come into the club.

With 2.5 days to go there is plenty of time left, and there is no better club than Forest to do this at the very last minute. Sure, some won’t work out, but there are always a few that will.

100%

I'd personally rather see McKenna partnering Andy or Murillo than Worrall.

He's not PL standard but you know he will just head and kick everything in sight.
