Ugh. I’m usually quite upbeat about transfers but this lad is pony (was shocking for Benfica). Looks like a favourable deal as a thank you for overpaying on Anderson.

 

Unless we are paying £25m I guess it's ok?

 

 

[Ikon]

Don’t care, it’s a PSR purpose signing more or less. Replaces Karius I would guess. 

[RodneyCisse]

I assume that’s Karius replacement?

[Mattoon]

Anderson - He's played his part, I like him and it's a shame to lose a local lad, but what has he done? He was never going to nail down a starting position and would just slip further away from the bench as we get better. I think this a good deal for us and him while he's still worth something.

 

Vlachodimos - Don't know enough about him but he's been first choice for a good European team and he's likely 3rd choice replacement for Karius so it's not really worth flapping about as I doubt we'll see much of him at all.

[Pixelphish]

The Red Cartel will be foaming. Don't think @Ikon is far off the money with what will be going on in their underground lair right now.

[Memphis]

Am I reading that Romano tweet correctly? Is he claiming Forest are paying 35m for Anderson? That's insane.

Yes but we are buying forests third choice keeper for a fee which hasn’t emerged yet. 

[mighty__mag]

And there was those saying we had unsellable assets. 

 

[Memphis]

Ah. That makes (slightly more) sense. If we're paying north of 5 million for him, the PSR police will be on the case...

Imagine Eddie waking up this morning to all this news. 
 

He’ll just be waiting for the phone call from the FA when England get knocked out of the Euros later. 

I am lost with this comment. This is clearly a PSR driven deal.

 

PSR headroom is one of the most important assets this club can buy. View this deal in that context. 

[nufcnick]

No doubt that we will send that £35m and some back for MGW in July sometime

So we've basically swapped Anderson for Bruno in terms of costs?

 

That's insane.

[Ben]

I'm loving the shithousery of clubs getting together to get around these PSR rules

If you think selling Anderson for 35m is insane goodness knows what you’ll think of the fee being forked out for this goalkeeper…

[Dr Jinx]

We were in for that keeper back in 2021 so it’s not a flash in the pan signing, he’s been scouted

Forest fans don't seem to rate him but he appears to have been Benfica's starting keeper until last season. Can he really be that bad?

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

I'm sorry thirty-five million pounds?

 

How on earth have we managed that.

 

I wish he was staying all things being equal but that fee is incredible

Dave McKellar would be my benchmark.

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   

 

Why are you always so worried about my posts and worried about if they are positive?!

 

You seem pretty miserable about a lot of what the club is doing at the minute, and so anything I post winds you up, if it isn't aligned with what you think. 

 

If you don't accept that negotiations would have been ongoing to get the best deal possible then don't accept it then. You'll find I'm not the only one that understands the concept.

 

If you really think the club were scrambling around panicking and offering out Isak and Gordon yesterday, and that really makes sense to you, then have at it.

 

Keep complaining about it all and getting upset about it all you want man. I don't exactly know what that even achieves.

 

Maybe you can reach out to the club and tell them you don't appreciate their practices. Or if it's annoying you so much, then don't log on over the summer, or don't support the club.

 

Find what you enjoy, and what makes you happy.

Every where I look you are baiting people and having digs at them because they don’t agree with your gleeful assessment of a player it’s pretty sad tbh. It’s not only something I’ve noticed I’ve seen a number of posters call you out on it. Your condescending attitude is the most tiresome of all
 

only thing I’m not positive about is Minteh leaving but aye ok mate I’m miserable about everything.
 

i think the club have panicked in the last few days but it appears to have worked out in the end. I call it how I see it I’ll not always be right but that’s ok, tho I’m sure you’ll be digging out posts in 6 months baiting people that were wrong. You do you 

 

other than that I’m sure your a good cunt 🤝

Taking Vlachodimos out of the equation, the profit on Minteh plus the sale of Anderson has basically paid for Isak. Will be interesting to see what Vlachodimos costs when that hits the books.

I mean, this is just a fantastic deal all round in my opinion. £35m for Elliott is just nuts as it wasn't quite working out for whatever reason and I think the move will do his career the world of good.

 

I wish him all the very best

This is very strange man.

 

I'm arguing my view point with other people, as is the nature on a forum. There are people that agree with me and there are people that don't.

 

You seem to be taking it personally and as some sort of attack, claiming I am gleefully baiting people. 

 

People take cheeky digs at each other all the time on here. When it's someone you don't typically agree with that does it, then suddenly they are some evil villain.

 

Just relax and don't take everything so seriously. 

[Ikon]

You if anyone need to learn how to “read the room” @kaka  Your self awareness is lacking at best.
