Without looking it up that must be over £25m in wages, not counting Schar who should be extended. It’s an incredible reset opportunity.

 

I’d be in no rush to extend anyone else unless we know we can get a fee for them.

I’d be extending Burn, if only for a year.

Think this is going to be the maddest window for a while. Not completely sure why, maybe the PSR (and Chelsea). 

 

I think everyone is being far more stringent, and waiting as long as possible ble to get the best deal. This last week could be mental.

Yeah, I don’t think we can lose so many defenders at once. But I’d be doing it on our terms.

Ideal world we move on Longstaff and get a CM with a bit of versatility in.

 

Longstaff is basically just gonna be Tonali's backup you'd imagine, someone who can play a couple of spots would be more useful. Even a DM, with Bruno occasionally being used further forward.

 

Doubt it'll happen though.

 

Sounds like the guy we were linked with this morning.

Noni wants to play first team football, and is willing to move wherever he has to, for it.

Make it happen!

Here's an idea, use Oddy as number 2 cannot be worse than dubs. 

Dubs should be loaned out if we can't sell him.

Some of the Forest fans said after they signed him and saw him play that he is one of their worst signings ever. So I wouldn't be so sure about this

Didn't get to see enough of how Oddy handled crosses into the box, set pieces, or shots at him from distance, during the pre season.

 

However, I thought he looked very confident kicking, or receiving the ball with his feet. Also noticed he did a good job of sweeping and looked more competent at it than Dubravka who stays stuck to the goal line.

 

I was hoping he'd have shown enough in training, in other areas, to be number 2 ahead of Dubravka, but not sure that's been the case.

Oh he can, trust me. He’s worse. Far, far worse. 

[andycap]

He was benficas number one fir years though playing champions leagues and hailed by the Portuguese press. 

Could he just be off form when he went to forest? 

 

[andycap]

I believe howe picks dubs as number 2 for experience only. 

But I'd get rid of him from the squad all together. His future lies elsewhere.

If he can actually come off of his line and allow us to press like we know we can he’s worth a go over Dubs. 

[McCormick]

He can’t.

Just now, McCormick said:

He can’t.

Ignore that then admittedly I’ve never seen the guy play 

[Lazarus]

Hes not living up to his name is he?

Eddie is class. I love Eddie Howe but does amuse me how that blanket statement gets used for every out of form or poorer player. I won’t work every time. ASM for example. Could argue he got poorer under Howe towards the end. Ryan Fraser too

Aye, but Sterling’s a really good player already

he’s been on the decline. Had a poor season for his standard and I was making a broader point about the amount of times people think Howe can turn water in to wine in a footballing sense. Not Sterling specific. 
 

 

oh I almost forgot….

That Hezze guy loves a slide tackle. Give him the number 3 and let the legacy continue.

Hailed by the Portuguese press? What?

 

Benfica fans signed up to that forest forum saying he's a calamity when he signed

He was literally one of if not the worst goalkeeper they’ve had in Benfica’s history  . I try not to entertain hyperbole but I can’t stress highly enough how bad a player the guy is.

They could be the Benfica version of Adam P & burnsey for all we know

And that's a long history. I'm 57, probably missed about 40 home games in the past 45yrs and I'd struggle to judge before McFaul, even then I probably couldnt really judge before Pav and Shaka.

My Greek friend sending me laughing emojis basically summed him up - imagine not being able to replace Dubravka in your peak.

 

Grim signing

I’ve said this before but he’s legitimately not even as good as Gillespie, let alone Dubravka. He’s a really awful keeper.
