Again 😂 stop turning your nose up at players. I'm not just aiming that at you mind 

Alright calm down player rating police. Do we all have to think positively about every player. So weird

Keith Downie dropping a hint on Loaded Mag pod that club has shifted gears and are looking at bringing in a RW even if they can't move on Miggy

 

Edit: a name "we've been linked to before" but not 40-50m range.

Sorry like, but when Sky and Talk Sport presenters do that, or ‘Breaking news coming up/after the break’ then it’s nothing news.

They will break breaking news as soon as they get, everything else is filler and designed to keep you watching/listening.

One source in the athletic says 25 million, the other said 60 million so maybe somewhere in between.

To be fair, what is 35 million between friends 🤣

[Whitley mag]

Would Elanga fit the project player being talked about not so sure, would hope we are aiming for someone with a higher ceiling and a better skill set, or pains me to say it stick with what we’ve got.

I was hoping we'd see a Saudi club say similar while bidding for Jamal Lewis.

Why can I not rate someone that highly and not want us to sign them 😂

I just feel give them a chance first. 

Didn't mean to come across all domineering 😂

I’d take Elanga or Kulusevski at this point. If we could get either of them for 30-35 million Howe would do wonders with them IMO. They’re different in styles but have some rather interesting skill sets imo. Kulu with his work rate and creativity, Elanga with his sheer pace and movement. Two years under Howe and they’d be worth 50-60 million or be really useful players for where we’re at.

The reports have gone from elite RW for half a year to it will be difficult to sign one. But its only Olise, Elanga, Madueke and Neto that has been linked by serious sources.

Mitchell and Parish.

What's the reason behind people being so against signing Elanga?

[gbandit]

If I had to choose between a top class RW / CB and a solid RW / CB where I could only have one of each I’d personally go top class RW, solid CB for where we are right now

He’s not very good ? Has similar numbers to Murphy last season in far more games

That's on Chelsea having too many players. He is protecting his career. He wants to know what his future is while there is just over a week to do something about it. 

 

Shocking attitude though.

Even though I would be delighted to see him move on he really isn’t a player that any of you really should be wanting.

 

Having watched him closely it’s easy to see why some think he is still a top player because they remember those odd moments where he does something or scores the odd goal but his overall contribution isn’t close to what he should be contributing he runs up a blind alley or misses chances that players of his experience should bury with ease. Anyone remember our game last season in the FA cup against Leicester?
 

There was no coincidence that his England career is almost certainly done nor is it a coincidence that even under Poch his number of minutes significantly declined particularly post Christmas 23 which ironically coincided with our up turn in form. His contribution is woeful 

 

I think it’s akin to Michael Owen burst on the scene young and ok Owen had a major injury but Sterling is in rapid decline. Of course he is contracted to Chelsea for another 3 years and yes he could sit it out but he won’t . He has been told to find another club from what is being said there was an offer from Saudi but I doubt that will be where he will end up. 
 

In relation to having too many players yep 40 is too many , that’s how many we currently have in our squad it certainly won’t be that number come 30/8 but even then business can be done with Saudi clubs for approximately another 5 weeks.

I’d be very happy with Sterling here. Think Howe would make great use of him.

Mental to think he wouldn't improve us - can play across the front line. Chelsea have thrown him on the scrapheap so defo deal to be done there.

[BottledDog]

Not saying I'm ITK, but the spirits have spoken and I'm getting another name, a new name.

 

And he's apparently... not a nonce.

 

Does anyone here, have a connection with a... Mark. Could be a Mick, or beginning with the letter M?!

 

Mike?

 

Could be a Martin?

Are you just basing it off numbers? He's only 22, is absolutely rapid and seems to have performed well for Forest. He tore us apart twice and the BBC even pinpointed him out as the star man at the weekend

Mark Douglas I would say is a serious source and he’s saying project player to go with CB, our priority has probably changed after being unable to get Olise, also there’s clearly a shortage of top right sided forwards on the market that would justify a significant outlay at the moment.

Can't speak for anyone else but Man Utd, a team we're competing with for European spots, sold him because he wasn't good enough for them.

 

But more from a more tactical perspective I think he's more suited to a counter attacking team which is what Forest are. Utilising his pace to get in behind on the break. I don't think he adds anything to us on that right side that will make the difference for us to justify what Forest would want as a fee for him. I can't think of any names that I think would and are attainable right now though.

What does a project player mean? A player who’s not there yet but we feel we can develop? Like a Gordon when we bought him?

Agree with all that. A loan would be something we could test. Someone said 8 weeks, under how I reckon we'd get half a season out of him.

 

My issue is ignoring all you've said and hit the attitude button because the message from the red tops was to hate sterling due to attitude, and nothing to do with him being a highly paid black lad. That's all thst bothers me. I don't think people even remember the shit he got and that it was due to skin colour and that attitude tag came from there.

 

Provably bothers me more than it should.

That’s the problem is there a right sided forward anyone can think of worthy of 60 million at the moment.

I was only responding to the Downie comment about signing a RW we have been linked to before.
