Interesting one. I was wondering if we'd potentially dip into the MLS market again this summer.

Everyone seemed shocked he didn't go in the winter. NYCFC rejected a 10M pound bid for him from Copa Libertadores champions Palmeiras. It seemed like River Plate were going to make a bid to bring him back to Argentina, but nothing happened. I think he will definitely go this transfer window, but he will be expensive. Transfermarkt has him at 12M Euros.

He's a good player and I think his style would fit with the way Forest plays.

He’d be another signing where his value would simply explode Bruv

Slight exaggeration but he's got a bit of Aguero about him. Would likely be an entertaining player based on his technical ability but the big question mark is how well he'd be able to adapt his game to the physicality of english football

He's the polar opposite to the other type of forwards we've been linked with, which seem to be bigger more powerful players

Too many rabonas for my liking.....some completely unnecessary.

Curmudgeon aside, he can strike a ball, has skill and scores a surprising number of headers. Takes pens too (which does slightly skew his goal stats).

Maybe because the MLS is so dogshit it inflates his ego, probably won’t see so many Rabonas when he’s getting pushed over by Cresswell or Shaw.

If Ojeda could get a work permit (having not made his senior debut for Paraguay until after he joined Forest), then its not beyond the realms of possibility that Castellanos could get a work permit. He has 6 appearances for Argentina U23s (Ojeda had 3 for Paraguay U20s and 2 for the U23s) and is clearly a more established player in the league he is playing in than Ojeda was.

I think the fact he's playing in the CONCACAF Champions League this season will help with the work permit issue. But I can't really find any info on how much that helps.

He will be fine for WP, youth caps count towards it the same as a national team cap and as said he plays in the CONCACAF Champions League & the MLS is a fairly high ranking league.

If the link is real, we won't be chasing any player that won't qualify for a WP

Seen someone on Twitter (@JDNalton) work out he'd get 16 points (15 is the requirement) so it'd probably be close:

Band 4 domestic minutes = at least 4 (may have broken 80% threshold by now = 5).
90% Band 3 continental minutes = 2.
Band 4 title winner = 3.
Band 3 continental progression = 1.
Playing in a Band 4 league = 6.
16 points total.


Based on that he wouldn't have gotten one last season but probably will this. Think the difference with Ojeda is the South American continental competitions (Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana) are considered top tier whereas CONCACAF Champions League isn't.

I am already picturing Martin Tyler shouting his name as he scores a last minute winner for Forest away to Man City on the final match to win the Premier league.

He is plenty strong and physical, also a nightmare playing off the shoulder of a defender.

Also consider if you are a few points below threshold you can appeal and now we are a Prem side they would almost always be classed as exceptional talents so would get through.

I highly doubt the club would be chasing someone who had little to no chance of getting a work permit. Surely this is the first thing they look into before making any contact.

The fee we would have to shell out would help in the appeal too, it always has even under the old rules
