Nope. A team is made up of more than just a striker. Weghorst is at Man U now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be quite a depressing watch but I think Wood may shade him in a race. I also think Wood was - more importantly - the easier to flog. He had the better CV and that got a bite from Forest. Weghorst ended up in Turkey and even now I can't imagine Man Utd buying him. At that point another loan to Germany seems probable. Vincent Kompany may get him firing but I doubt it.

I'm not sure you can use Forest biting as any sort of vindication, whoever was in charge of doing their transfer business has been fired. Shelvey and Colback as well. It's like he was an NUFC mole ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Athletic article says they are paying Shelvey and Wood a combined £170,000 a week.? Edited July 7, 2023 by Ronson333 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I partly feel sorry for them and partly want to laugh at them. I applaud the effort they showed in trying to strengthen their squad but their spending decisions were largely woeful. It’s a real shame because the amount they spent could have made them a 12th-15th PL club for a few seasons at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
