Re: The Contract Thread

Saidy Janko has been given number 21 according to the OS.

How many days he's got to impress before a new signing replaces him?

Years Left:

1 Year: Fox, Ward, Henderson, Iacovitti, Gabriel, Ahmedhodzic

2 Years: Dawson, Bridcutt, Murphy, Osborn, Ariyibi, Cummings, Grant, Vellios, Smith, Edser, Guedioura, Watson, Robinson, Steele, Appiah, Tachtsidis, Yacob, Ansarifard

3 Years: Cash, Clough, Brereton, Darikwa, Walker, Soudani, Pantilimon, Yates, Hefele

4 Years: Worrall, Lolley, Figueiredo, Grabban

5 Years: Carvalho

25 seniors on loan + 8 out on loan = 33 owned by us. We also have 5 players in on loan.

The u23 squad is bloated with 20 players owned , 2 out on loan and 2 in on loan. (This includes u18s) + there is 4 u18 on pro contracts not in u23 squad regularly.

So I make that 61 professionally contracted players at Forest.

Re: The Contract Thread

Vellios is only on loan I believe

You are correct.

Granted, I do not think we will ever see him in a Forest jersey again.
 
Re: The Contract Thread

Anel remains for another 5 months contract I do not believe that the longer the will leave the club where he can play the time now it is necessary

I don't think anyone could disagree with that.

Re: The Contract Thread

In Red. You part of the quick fix. Who will we see stay beyond that contract ? Robinson the favourite for me but as a CB especially in Prem. Yacob maybe.

2020: Dawson, Bridcutt, Murphy, Osborn, Ariyibi, Cummings, Grant, Vellios, Smith, Edser, Guedioura, Watson, Robinson, Steele, Tachtsidis, Yacob, Ansarifard

Blimey, there's going to be a few decisions made in the summer of 2020. There are names there I thought long gone already!

Happy to keep Dawson, Steele and Guedioura until the end of their deals but no longer than that. I'd extend Yacob and Robinson's deals by another year and also extend Smith and Osborn's deals by another 2 years. Everyone else on the 2019 and 2020 list can go.

Beyond that, I'd look to shift Clough, Darikwa and Hefele if possible.

Re: The Contract Thread

Maybe Osbourn too? Be nice to see Dawson get a coaching role after his contract expires.

Believe Dawson is going through his badges already, so, would be a decent progression.

Time will tell mate. A year left on his deal. Would like to see us play a 3-man midfield and see how he does.

Just thinking back to most of his goals for Forest. They seem to involve good team play. But his game isn't going past people & playing in wide areas you need that. He is about being clever and getting into space with movement and team mates on the same wave-length as him.
