Provided we sign him. Shitehawk otherwise.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61659836 Pogba leaving on a free confirmed. Let's see if the rumours come back again. Expect he will head to Italy or France.

If Ake is available at a reasonable price we will be in for him. No doubt.

We were linked to Corentin Tolisso before and after Christmas. Wonder if we will take another look now Bayern released him and he is available on a free.

His passing deteriorated and he gave the ball away alot more in the last handful of games. Peaked Jan/Feb imo but was still fantastic. Intrigued to see where he fits in next year.

Danny Wellbeck

Richarlison is a no brainer, even over some of the bigger thought of names linked. We know he works in this league. That, along with his versatility is huge.

Not like VAR to have an agenda.

Wow Not given! That said. The last angle looked like a dive.

Colback fucking it for Forest!

There's Frank Clark. Legend.

Happy to see forest go up. Always nostalgic about the frank Clark era.

Arrange a quick friendly??

In before Canadian close but essentially happy belated Birthday to Gazza. Watched the documentary this week for the first time. Just heartbreaking really. To be honest I was pretty disappointed it told half the story, really lacked questioning why he wasn't better supported and on the whole seemed more like it was used to twist the knife on Morgan, Wade, the Sun/Mirror/news of the world, phone hacking etc. With Gazza as a pawn. Just seemed a very odd point to end with much of his later struggles and modern history omitted. If anything i came away feeling the documentary almost used him in a way the others did to get their agenda across. Once Wade and Morgan were out the way they ended it. Certainly feel for him and it was a career of what could have been. Found the Roeder footage interesting (completely jumping to conclusions) maybe a parallel with Nolan and Carroll, keeping the younger player on track and mentoring, looking out for him. Didn't seem he got that after leaving Newcastle. Also apologies for the obligatory deep breath reopening the bumped thread!

Aye. It does seem AC are laid back and looking at other targets. Also pretty stocked as is. That could just be another layer of brinksmanship on Milans part though! We will soon see. I am just relaxed and happy that if we don't get Botman we will get someone just as potentially great. Good times.

That's Badiashile for me. Think Botman has a cooler head but I want a beast. Botman is more an upgraded Burn. Badiashile gives more pace and is a better Schar upgrade. Over time we will need upgrades on both. We can't do it all this window but a CB pool of Botman, Badiashile, Schar, Burn and bringing another young CB (Kelly maybe) in to replace lascelles, Fernandez and Clarke would be great.

Diaby is quite possible, we are obviously looking at a pacey, tricky, skilled winger like ASM for the right. We were definitely looking at Dembele in January and for the summer. I say conflicting reports with Dembele today too with him definitely leaving Barca but then Le Parisien denying he will come to PSG this summer.

Nope. Must have spent a bloody ton on gardening tools by now though.

Diaby, Ekitike, Paqueta, Lodi, Henderson... sure why not. Throw in a destroyer DM, Physical beastly striker and CB and we are there. Absolutely no way we are getting 8 new players in though!

Love an old.. Will make a bid in the coming days rumour.

26m for Carlos. Can't believe we would have got a price that low!

Neither matter when the name Bruce is involved.

Admirable ambition from Villa the past few years. Wonder if it's sustainable.
