Ipswich signing Julio Enciso from Brighton on loan

Good signing for Ipswich that. Still think they’ll go down. But they’ve spent a bit and got a couple in on loan trying to stop up.

So not only are Forest refusing to drop off but they now have ambition?

 

Very frustrating 

[Sibierski]

Giving how Forest have operated since being back, wouldn’t be shocked if they spent a load by end of Jan on a big signing and if they make some form of Europe, spend another £100m+ to try and stay at top end. Owner will gamble and happily run the risk of a small points deduction.

They took a gamble and up to now it’s paying off.

Some weird stuff going on at Brighton with talented youngsters just dropping off form.

They've got too many 10s and RWs. Lads end up 3rd, 4th choice and can't develop.

 

Enciso is a 10 right? JP, Rutter start ahead of him.

 

That Baleba has come good but he doesn't have crazy competition at CM. He was bad last season.

 

Enciso can play RW but he's 4th choice there too I believe.

Defo.

 

Gamble moving forward is spend beyond their and PSR means, and hope PSR is binned / watered down over next 12 months. Enables them to be in a better position than others who have tried to play it by the book. At worse, they have countless players of good selling age to fall back on.

£50m??? I've obviously not watched him closely enough.

They must be very close to breaching PSR come the end of June if this goes through

Hopefully no takers for their players.

Napoli are basically to the PL what Ireland were to England in the 80s and 90s, taking all the cast offs.

They will drop off soon and in that time they’ve signed Kovacic, Doku, Nunes for £135m, all who won’t have much of a market to recoup unless Saudis bail

them out.

 

Ederson, Ake, Stones, Akanji, Walker, Gundogan, KDB, Silva, Kovacic and Grealish. That’s a big group of players where Ederson aside, the sales are likely not there for good money. So need to find funds from somewhere in coming seasons and they can’t keep selling off the youth. 
 

Bobb / McAtee / O’Riley / Lewis all need to be key squad players and pathways open for them over next 18 months or they will be fucked. Do think Pep will hold the side together next season, but when he goes, people will act shocked at the drop off because the squad is overlooked. 

Not sure why you’ve added in Doku there? The lads 22 years old and already shown he’s got talent. 
 

Kova wasn’t bought to sell on. I think we paid £30m for him. 
 

Kalvin Phillips and Nunes are good examples of absolute crap we’ve bought - for £96m that we’ll have to take a big loss on. Equally though, we made a huge profit on Alvarez and players like Torres.

Man City "have 700m" in revenue and at worst - the second best academy in England. They are getting £50m for academy players every year. A lot with sell-on clauses like Romeo Lavia.

It's not even close to enough unless there's serious clauses included.

[Sibierski]

£50m shows Man Utd are desperate for money, despite the reports saying they’re not.

Well no, I thought he was rated much higher, but I haven't paid any attention so only go on media reports.

Hold up. Really? 

 

You are saying you would pay more than £50m?

 

He hasn't shown nearly enough to be rated even at that. I think they should bite their hand off unless Amorim has actual use for him
