Wissa needs to get a grip man. Proper stinky behaviour this from him.

Chelsea getting desperate to drum up fake interest to force a move from somewhere.

He's down the list of options of attackers, but he'd be above others for the price. Wissa £40m Hojlund Loan/Option £35m Ramos £50m Jackon £60m+ Samu £70m Wissa £55m+ Shearer Free

Hojlund, 20 years old and on back of first season in Seria A with 9 in 32 (G/A every 150 mins). Sesko, Samu, Delap, Etitike. We've all wanted and bigged up, and were not much different around same age. If we were linked with Hojlund in 2023, I'm sure the feeling would be it's a great move to make. Just like with every signing, need to try and seperate what they're playing in now and look at that fee/what they could bring. Is Hojlund current dip vastly different to Isak when we moved? Not saying it's remotely the same level of player, but Hojlund current time at a dysfucntional Man Utd has to be disregarded when talking about him as a player.

For someone who's 22 going 23, there's value in there for a £5m loan and £30m option to buy if you get him at that. 2 years of data in Prem would point to where his game can be used better for us etc. Just you need to balance it out with, as much as Eddie can improve players, is he too broken on confidence in this country to pull things around.

Our play on the transition he'd be very good for us, in addition to his work rate. We manufacture turnovers for space to run in behind (and go direct quicker), which would play to his strengths a lot more. Just would need to get confidence going to take the chances, confidence we're seeing Wood at Forest (not the Wood we saw here or his final season at Burnley). Major down mark on Hojlund is his link up play. I've not seen him be good at it at all. But he can be a 6 yard box poacher like Wilson was for us.

Can't be far off being linked back with Moise Kean, which would be fitting after his release clause expired.

Yea. World Cup year, he‘ll stay and play in Europa. Then move to Bayern next summer as Kane replacement.

Now Forest have seemingly wrapped up most of their key business, any danger of Wilson arriving now? Or that ship sailed?

Birmingham are going all in on the promotion. Which they should be getting giving their spending, but it's a proper FUCK YOU, to the FFP rules because they'll be promoted having broken every single one and face no punishment. Like Leicester did.

Going higher than £40m is a massive risk because of the fuck all training / games he's done this summer. At this point, it's not the goals you are looking at. It's how quick he can get up to speed and not suffer a set back. He could end up fucking off on International duty having not play any football / serious training, then go straight into full on match/training and break down

I always want the attacker to square those chances. Unless you Ronaldo level of finishing, they are tough finishes because near post isn't easy because of body shape you are naturally approaching to strike the ball, so you have to hit hard and low across the keeper, aiming for the inside near post. Where the chances of finding that at full running speed is far lower than playing a ball across the box for a tap in. Peak Barcelona were so good at it.

Long term as the transfer fees keep rising with inflation, and £110m rolling window remains the same, their wages are going to be stagnating / harder to get deals later in their careers. So more noise from them will be a good thing, more behind closed doors to push changes.

Probably pop off a couple of £30m-£35m bids for striker options like Muniz now to see what the response is, knowing we can go £5m higher if required to get a deal done.

Don't think £60m on any striker is happening if we want another signing on top this late in the window. The free transfer option of Vlahovic / Mitrovic probably become more appealing to the club, or a loan with option to buy. Feels the Ramsey signing was an inidcation towards that, because he can play LW and Gordon ST, which reduces the desperation to sign a £60m+ striker we're not fully sold on (even if not ideal). Messing up the striker signing for big money will do us long term damage.

Yes you need better, and he’s been poor for you. But how he’s been treated for this weekend is nothing short of shameful for a guy that tries his all, to force him to get out of the club. But Garnacho is the prick. It’s double standards for the manager.

Nah, can’t see a new contract ever impact team morale. The players know Isak is top tier elite and they will want him here (and expect him to be amongst top earners as strikers are) because their own chances of doing well increases, and means better deals for them too. Morale will be more affected if there wasn’t a sincere apology from Isak (if he stayed) rather than what he earns. Because that’s the squad we’re assembled, one that’s driving by the bond, not the money. Just Isak this summer has shown he’s pulled the wool over our eyes with what we thought he was about.

There just shouldn’t be a bomb squad at all, unless it’s someone that’s actively broken club rules. It just won’t create a positive atmosphere at all within the club, which can be glossed over if things go well, but when things don’t, it can and will turn sour. They’re players that will have close friendship with players elsewhere in the team, and whilst they will remain pros in the main team, when things start turning they will be the first to call out things as the string is short. It’s not even a thing that’s just exclusively to Amorim / Chelsea under Maresca, seen it plenty before and it turn sour, and it’s usually a common theme of the managers being weirdos.

Onana to join Hojlund, Garnacho, Antony and Sancho in the bomb squad. Man Utd going to be haemorrhaging money to placate Amorim. UCL or bust* as a club next summer. *Have to sell Mainoo + 1 more or sell club to a state

Isak being on the bench after he accepts move isn’t happening, followed by us winning would be a cock swinging move. End Monday night ahead of Liverpool and them chasing around for another attacker.

Wissa new bid today. Some Isak nonsense stuff from usual guys. A new player strongly linked to us which will indicate where we are looking for the final signing I.e CM / Full back

Doubtful, but I believe of all the clubs out there, us and Forest get along well. Woods deal was quick and helped them. PSR helped each other (even if we were on the poorer end), then Elanga deal done quick with no kick up. If Anderson is available, we’ll know the price and Forest will be more happy to deal with us.

Adamant top clubs are going to be stumbling all over each other to get him next summer. Keeps this up, I want us at the top of the queue, even if it means moving Joelinton on.

Didn’t even realise Sesko came on.
