Never watched him play but he sounds perfect. I think I've said that about every player we've been linked with lately...
Yeah it really is dreamland. If we fail we fail, but we seem to be recruiting so smartly. Feels like if we recruit like this and end up going down we are gonna be near the top of the Championship anyway.

We won the lottery with Dane & Cooper.

I wasn't that bothered about going up, it would have been nice but this summer is like watching someone play football manager.

I think it's the first time I have seen Forest have proper pulling power since I have supported them. I am like a giddy child. Can't wait to see what this season brings, this summer is going to slow!
It's exciting, isn't it? I can't wait to see who else comes in, the players that we are linked with and those we have in the bag so far (Awoniyi and Henderson) exceed what I was expecting. Could be a very exciting summer and season ahead!

....as did the majority of the signings we made last year too. :)

We're clearly putting a ton of thought, effort and research into everything recruitment-wise now. After the failings of the past 23 years in that department it's just superb to drink in.

I think every jock I’ve ever worked with have been called Jim. Even the women

:LOL:

They sound like proper dragons.

Talking of which....

Having Yates as a pivot between Aribo and Gibbs White sounds like as good a midfield on paper as I can remember a newly promoted team having

Aribo is an attacking player, more suited for the no. 10 role while still being to do the defensive work that zinc used to do. We still need a defensive general, maybe that Orel from stuggart

I hadn't seen that rumour, just looked it up.
Joe is an outstanding player, one of the best players I have ever seen.
His issue is that I don't think he knows how good he is.
His touch is the best I have ever seen and his development this season has been great.
He only has a year left on his contract so that may affect his value, but if he had 2 or 3 years we wouldn't let him go for under £25m.
With the greatest of respect to Forest, he should be going to a much higher team.
If you can get him you are getting a superstar that even if you have to pay us £10 or 15m you will sell for double that in a year.

A glowing report!

I’d be straight onto him if he did.

He also said…

We all love him, no one will have a bad word to say about him.
Played the most games of any player in Europe last season!!!
Gerrard signed him 3 years ago for us, we got him for basically nothing as he was out of contract I think.
I assume we will have made him an offer but I think we are all resigned that he will be going because of the contract situation and his value.
He is top half EPL easily.
He scored our goal in the EL final.

The boy is just a footballer.
Big, strong, skilful and has a football brain.

Every video i've seen of him, he brings he ball under control instantly, flicks it to the side and away from the defender like Ronaldinho, and then bumbles it in to a brick wall and loses it like Sterling does for England. He might be amazing but looks a bit wasteful to me. However stats, recommendations etc seem to suggest those videos weren't everything and i'm sure having better players around him would help.

Ahhhhh just, get it him in.
