Lucas Bergvall

Different positions.

Foden, Palmer, Gibbs-White are #10s - closer to the main striker, often ending up in opposition box, or around it.

Deep lying playmakers aka #6's are your Carrick's, Rice etc - they take the ball off the defenders and get the ball up the pitch. They have defensively responsibilities that the #10 may not have.
I don't think Congo was ignorant of those differences fwiw.
 
It is a waste of time him needing to win the fan base over, they have made their minds up already. McAtee put in plenty of promising performances in the 2nd half of the season & showed in games he has quality, those that have planted their flag in the ground who spend plenty of time in his thread just aren't interested in acknowledging it.

The honest reason the club persists on telling us how much they rate him is so that fans get off his back and stop acting like spoilt brats.
100%

just like, erm.. Sangare
 
Sangare has been excellent, but we can't expect him to play the Anderson role.
Concerned about a lightweight midfield but will bow to the Forest faithful on this and trust that Glasner knows what he's doing.
We were never going to replace Anderson like for like and we don’t need to.

We will play in a different style under OG, whereby success owes more to those in the system being suited their role and doing their jobs very well. We have to become more than the sum of our parts.
 
Played a half of the pre-season game against Sydney.

De Zerbi wants him to stay but can't guarantee him a role in the first team.
 
I think they are referring to the absolute write off Sangare had before, shock horror, he settled in without malaria

That he did. The context for people’s impatience should be remembered as relegation dogfight, points deduction, Cooper getting the boot and other signings such as Wood not exactly setting the world alight at first.

Like many others, if we were frequently finishing tenth, we’d give talent patience. When we think we might go down and the talent f*** off, we tend to want it to look reassuring.
 
I want to leave please and go to Forest. Ta.

Guimaraes to Arsenal seems inevitable now, which I would expect to then push through Newcastle’s interest here with Bergvall.
 
If this guy is really who we're after I might have to recalibrate a bit what I consider to be a Forest type player.

Guy has no bollocks on him whatsoever, but plays fancy football.
 
Id rather sell Mcatee for 30m and buy Bergvall for 50m

I get the sentiment as McAtee has looked far from a top 10 PL player so far at Forest. However, he's had a very disruptive first year and not much chance. Any player needs a decent run before they're written off.

I'd prefer he is backed (if the manager thinks he's up to it) and we spend the extra £45-50m on quality WB and CF options (add to existing budgets there).
 
If they really wanted him, you'd think the Gordon and Tonali money would've been enough.
The ‘need’ to wait until the 16th August under the new financial regulations, that would be 45 days from the Tonali deal. All to do with offsetting deals and/or keeping financial transaction separate.
