healthyaddiction Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Luke Edwards on Talksport earlier said he thought we'd spend £200m+ this summer. I know it's Luke Edwards, but he'd usually underestimating our budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Can't wait to see which of our squad players Forest will buy next... I wonder if Darlow and Lascelles could do another double signing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't it be to put pressure on the clubs with targets that we are after? Something like "sell to us before we get our other target and are done with the transfer window". Define small group? I reckon four is a group (of purples ). Any additional ‘growers’ don’t count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it does tbh. Very few clubs will be able to buy a Declan Rice, but you would think we might be one of them with CL funding available. Probably a bit earlier than we thought we'd be competing for top players, but I wouldn't rule it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 For the fee and wages Rice would cost, we could get three ‘Bruno’s’ from the Continent. For that alone, I just can’t see Rice to us happening. West Ham want £120m (I’m sure they’d probably take a bit less), and the player has already turned down £200kpw. Added to that, we probably need around three or four first team players. £100m+ for Rice alone…just can’t see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maze Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Think we need way more than 3-4 signings tbh. Next season we have the league, the cups and CL. If we are to compete on all fronts we need 22 very good players. The Sheff Wed match springs to mind as a reminder of how ultra shit our second line-up is, couple that with injuries and suspension and its a mess.

Well I was assuming whoever buys him will negotiate the fee and the wages down a bit, but if there's clubs out there willing to pay him 200k/week I guess that does rule us out. I just assumed we'd be competing with anyone once we established CL football, but maybe it is too early for that yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK - Pope, Dubravka, Karius or a new signing RB - Trippier and Ashby RCB - Schar, Lascelles and possibly a new signing LCB - Botman and Burn LB - A new signing and Targett CDM - Bruno and a new signing RCM - Longstaff and a new signing LCM - Willock and Joelinton RW - Almiron, Murphy and a new signing ST - Isak and Wilson LW - ASM and Gordon So that's RCB, LB, CM x 2 and RW. Around five will be about fine. Edited May 23, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 6 like most people have said on this forum LB - CB are a must - an upgrade on Lascelles 6 and 8 - yesterday we were left with Bruno and Longstaff The next 2 positions are a bit tricky in terms of profile - my dream signing would be Raphinha (LW - RW) - I just wonder if we end up with Harvey Barnes though - would be a bit disappointing - then Vitor Roque Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding 3 “Bruno’s” is a bit of a stretch. “On the continent” deals are no where near as cheap these days; see Mudryk, Antony etc. We were unbelievably lucky with Bruno. You can’t bank on getting players like that for 40m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouting departments will hopefully see that we don’t waste Antony and Mudryk type money (although we’re bound to have some ‘failures’, naturally).
