Spot on the worst thing Ashley didn’t even seem to care about making money eithet, through the club. So there was literally no point to anything. NUFC just existed to promote sports direct

Forest losing 5-0 is like our Pardew season where we lost some games heavily and had a low GD at the end Forests is only 6 at the moment despite their high points total

Proper PlayStation FIFA type of goals for

What’s really annoying is that Man C and Chelsea operating in the same market as us, highly rated young gems that could develop into elite talents. So you can’t compete on that level given their huge revenue advantages not even mentioning their academies. At least Man U, Liverpool and the others tend to have a different strategy for more established players.

How about Saud James Park?

Just believe brother.

No - would hate him to go to Liverpool tbh - more than Arsenal. If anyone in the PL - Chelsea. They never really become part of the club - like Ba - and would forever reminisce about NUFC. They could afford it too.

Sign him as Almiron's replacement on RW until the summer Not even joking.

100% Need to get probably 5-6 first teamers to properly refresh the squad and add more youth and pace. 1-2 purples (P) 1-2 squad (mid) players (S) 1-2 youngsters (Y) GK - Y (Trafford) RW - P - (Mbuemo, Kubo or that level) RCB - P - (Guehi, Tapsoba or that level) CF - S (Delap) CB - Y/S (Harwood-Bellis or similar) AM - Y (McAtee or Dibling) Would set us up for next year nicely with talent across the park, nice blend of youth and experience.

Offer Longstaff in exchange + 35m. Lascelles even. Both would be good in a promotion winning side. If we wait until summer he'll go elsewhere. Now is the time.

Ahhh ok didn't realise that - I thought it was 10 points max as that's what the precedent had been.

Why don't we just go crazy for one summer. Do a PIF special - £500m. Kit out the team fully - everything needed. Even if there's a transfer embargo. Look to win the cups or CL the year after - even if we get a PL fine and points deductio, we can try and get Europe another way. It just feels frustrating that there is literally no movement and everything takes forever - even the sales. How do other clubs act so fast?

It's extremely annoying that Man City, in one window have picked up ALL the young CB's we were looking at - Khusanov, Juma Bah and Victor Reis. That's proper FM hoarding tactics. Between Chelsea and Man City - how is anyone supposed to compete for any young player? The numbers are eye watering - Khusanov was bought for £84,000 - was linked with us for under £20m but went for £34m. We bought Botman for that - who was much more developed. It used to be you could buy 5 or 6 PL players in a summer - top end was £10-15m. Even the summer we bought Mitrovic and Wijnaldum, we spent £80m or so but 4 or 5 top class young players. Now - £80m gets you 1, maybe 2 players at the most. You're not actually allowed to rebuild your team at the right level. It doesn't even make sense.

Anyone can see that the team desperately needs fresh blood, an injection or impetus from somewhere. The Papiss Cisse effect - could actually be the difference between 7th and 4th and even winning the Carabao. Keeps the team pumped, on their toes, hungry and motivated to achieve as they believe they are being supported fully to achieve the goals set out. If Isak is out - the team's chance of success in that fixutre diminish by a good 40%. He is the one player we do not have adequate back up for right now. Most other areas, we can do a job. It used to be Bruno also, but Tonali can cover for him now. Getting a Mbuemo or someone of that ilk is extremely important for this season. Even if someone like Gordon or Botman has to be sold in the summer. (Would prefer to keep Bruno, Isak and Tonali as purples for now). The other two are more replaceable.

Please just get a Saudi Pro League loan player or two. We need a bit of fresh blood. Riyad Mahrez or Sadio Mane on loan? Ruben Neves or Milenkovic-Savic on loan? Even Ivan Toney - loan swap deal with Wilson (with PIF paying salaries) Simikan on loan for RCB too. Would defo finish top 3.

Forest have done it well they now have a core group who settled after the scattergun approach we did it well also but been far too stagnant for too long now

What happened to him, he used to write very interesting things

Depressing

I wouldn’t have minded even one of their lesser used outfield players they bought in their scattergun days. Any of Sangare williams danilo Awonyi even Andrew omobadimedele dominguez at least those would be serviceable 3rd choice keeper is a joke

I'd rather have been fined at this point.

I agree that this is more likely. Imagine a world where PSR is removed. PIF finally wake up and are able to spend at will. We have a bigger ceiling than Arsenal - even if they are bigger right now. Saka is still very young. If Arteta gets binned, they could drop off a bit if they don't get his successor right. Meanwhile we have a strong English core, Gordon on the other flank, Tino behind him. Englands first choice left side and right side pairing for WC 2026. Jobs a good un.

Annoying

Tbh Rafa Benitez would have sorted this out and made them tough to beat and winning again hes had poor talent in his last few jobs would have been a safer pair of hands than Amorim

Looks like both Kelly and Tosin chose poorly

I miss the first PIF window. I was glued, literally every day there was such exciting links and we were extremely active probably will never happen at that level again
