Bowen is exactly the type of transfer that you shouldn’t make under current FFP/PSR

I don’t think the extension is bad, at least that should be approved by Ashworth

nice. All my worries gone. Cheers

I like this appointment, but, talking about Monaco, the Balogun deal was a disaster. I hope that’s not his idea.

Whatever , believe it or don’t

12.8m per Forest fans. No MGW then. Make sense though, both side overpriced around 10m.

I want to raise more funds for a new RW as well, however it seems like both Almiron and Wilson prefers to stay. We can’t force them out…

Anderson is a complicated case. I find him very similar to Milner - lack the physical tools to beat opponents, but occasionally showing glimpse of excellent technique. He does have potential to beat his value, especially if he is playing for Forest where he should be a starter. He may never become a 35m rated player if he stay. This transfer in hindsight probably is a win for all parties involved This won’t be challenged by EPL. He may already shine for Forest before end of August and no one else will say this is overpriced.

If we just want a back up RB then Atal is worth a punt. He can also play RW as well, a low cost short term cover. We have very limited budget and likely we can only buy one starting CB or RW. We better prepare to see Almiron continue to start for us (should be the last season though). In that case we can try to bid Antonio Silva for 50m. Very highly rated last season, dropped off a bit this season, but still worth to gamble imo. If he is back to his best we won’t be able to get him, as he is closely monitored by all the big clubs.

Probably even can’t blame the physios / medics department staff this time.

This genuinely smells like Mike Ashley style.

Unless we qualified from the group stage

My Bayern mate fucking glad that you guys are going to save them. Good luck.

He is shit. Tuchel started Dier over De Ligt throughout the season because he is extremely unreliable

I know I am the minority but I rather have Elanga over MGW. MGW is not a winger. I don’t think he suits Howe’s current 4-3-3.

Wow, we still need a trading profit of 15m?

that probably explained why Ashworth wanted to sell Joelinton. That’s his way to solve the PSR black hole

For now yes, but I predict sooner of later most of the “content” clubs would be crying for help as the big clubs no longer be able to spend big, thus affect their income and ultimately lead to financial troubles. After the Everton Forest cases, I doubt Brighton could still make those ridiculous sales. You may not aware but Brighton was hoping to sell Mitoma and Evan Ferguson on a high - interests are gone already. No clubs willing to pay the required fees now.

I know Ashworths work for the club is a bit vague, but generally speaking he should be responsible for making long term plans and set up directions for the club. Making plans to comply with FFP/PSR has to be Ashworths responsibility, as this involves a lot of inputs from different departments within the club. it seems like this part of duties left behind by Ashworth has not been well taken up by others.

What’s concerning to me is, it sounds like the club didn’t appoint or defer Ashworths duties to someone, and that kinda leads to the PSR crisis we were having.

I think that’s just because Man City decided not to bid. I am also surprised they didn’t go for Douglas Luiz, given that’s a cut price deal.

So even the 68m received from two sales are not enough to fulfil the PSR requirement? That’s crazy

That’s why Dokko said we cannot do this again next season. Miracles won’t happen twice. We could have lost Gordon or Isak.

I think the issue is the board genuinely expected Bruno to leave for 100m, and thought this would be the solution for the PSR black hole. So when there is no offer for Bruno - crisis mode officially began.

I don’t think he is that concerned about the players left. He probably concern more about the players we could bring in this summer
