In fairness Forest’s first choice keeper is the worst keeper I’ve ever seen for Newcastle and I’ve seen Mike Hooper & Jack Anwick. So he must be pretty shit

It’s exhausting and I missed most of it yesterday

it’s so confusing. Smacks of ‘he’ll do’

Let’s see how much we are paying for him before putting him as 3rd choice or not

I’m aware thanks.

I’m not that bothered tbh Trafford would have been enough and if this lets us spend on a centre half & RW then all good

Is it? Aye usually with a couple academy kids and home grown but very few have 3 keeps they paid money for

We don’t need 4 keepers surely?

Never heard of him. Does this mean the signing for Trafford is off? Sounds like that’s picked a random player in a position we need filled to get this mutual beneficial deal done. most confusing transfer window of all time this.

Money aside I’d much rather have kept minteh for the RW spot than by Elanga. He’s a headless chicken

Id say if it’s £35m I’d be saying hope is right. Just can’t see how it’s £35m in a straight deal

im not so sure unless we can punt Almiron & Murphy. I just hope we go nowhere near Elanga. Would be so underwhelming

So it’s an ‘inflated fee’ with a similar fee for a Forest player to get round PSR?

We’ll be paying for the player much like the ‘swap’ deals Everton & Villa have done

if that’s our big RW signing I’d be very disappointed. Not even Kaka can get excited about that

Not MGW then?

as I’ve just said that makes sense if Forest needed the money to comply with PSR. It appears they don’t so why would they sell?

But those deals only work if Forest needed money for PSR well they clearly don’t if they are spending £35m the day before the PSR deadline. It resets for the year so it would appear Forest have no need to see MGW

Why would Forest take our 5th choice midfielder and sell us their best player

Why are people saying this like that’s how football works we wanted Elanga if there was any hint of mutual back scratching it would have been that deal. I’d very much doubt Forest will be on the fax machine saying here, mind we overpaid for Anderson goin chuck an extra £10m for MGW

fair play to the club if that’s true. I like Anderson but £35m for a player whose best football was played in league 2. That’s great business

I’d say scrabbling around for clubs to take our players with 1 day left while anything can still happen to scupper those deals and put us in the shit is letting it get pretty far tbh. Add in having discussions with clubs about Gordon and Isak. dont think I’ve ever seen one post of yours that isn’t head in the clouds positive

Too much to ask I feel. He’s positively giddy right now

I’m with you on this mate

It’s the biggest lot of shit ever. Not a chance the club did that to ‘soften the blow’ there has been an air of desperation around this whole thing
