timeEd32 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 A perusal of a Forest forum has taught me two things: 1) He shouldn't be sold for less than £80-100m - some think that's his value and others think that because they'll certainly get relegated without him 2) They really hate Newcastle - the football club, the beer, the city, and its people Oh, and one of them was on here...

Mazzy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) It's another of those situations whereby hes obviously not worth £80M, that would be insane. But to Forrest, he kind of is worth that because what he provides to the team would probably need to be replaced (within their budget) by two players. Also if they do get a points deduction AND they've let MGW, chances are they are doomed for relegation. I'd be shocked if we get him but £50M is probably the number I'd personally say would be worth paying for him. Similar money to Gordon, similar potential but he's arguably proved it more than Gordon had before he left Everton.

Matt1892 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I went to watch them at home to Bournemouth just before Christmas as part of me and my boy trying to do the 92 football grounds, definitely an air of inferiority complex in the stadium that they are not seen as a big club any more.

MagMal Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I have always liked forest, middle level club giving out bloody noses to the big clubs in England and Europe, played good football and had some nice kits back in the day, plus clough was always good for a quote and a laugh.

NSG Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 7 hours ago, Dr Jinx said: Tin foil hat here but the more I think of it, the more the Gibbs-White story seems to be a goer. Ordinarily, he’d be going for a lot more than what were rumoured to be bidding and any number of clubs could be in for him at a higher fee.. so why deal with us? That Chris Wood fee, or what they owe us for it could be the difference between being in or out of the FFP limit. So say we revisit that deal and restructure it. There’s the incentive, staying in the premier league is worth a hell of a lot more than getting an extra 20 million for a top prospect after you’ve been relegated. (Or a sale that only counts for next years accounts) The FFP dilemma is a two way street of course and we’re close to the limit, but maybe enough wiggle room to write off what’s owed on that particular deal? Getting the premier league to re-evaluate Forests accounts would probably be tough though and that’s where NDM comes in? That’s incorrect. Say they owe us cash from that deal. If it’s the full £15m (no idea if it is) but we would have accrued the full £15m income into last years accounts. If we therefore “wrote off” that income, the accrual would reverse into 23/24 and we’d have an in year hit of £15m (net neutral over the 2 years but when 23/24 cycle is included in FFP and 22/23 isn’t in two years time, it would actually show as a pressure). If we reduced the MGW fee by £15m to “offset this”, what actually would happen would be we’d see a c£3m reduction in spend each year (£1.5m in 23/24 as only a half year - based on a 5 year contract) but would also have to show the £15m hit, so we’d be c£13.5m worse off in year) by completing the transaction that way. If we were going to transact the deal we’d be far better off just leaving the Wood deal as it is and paying the correct fee for MGW. Cash transactions are an absolute red herring when it comes to FFP. Offsetting cash from deals may help cash flow etc but it has nothing to do with FFP compliance (same with how you structure payments etc). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 That we're listening to offers for either/both does make it seem like Trippier is staying in Jan. No way Krafth and Trippier goes. Leaves us with one RB till the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 7 hours ago, Nine said: At the same time we shouldn’t totally judge a player from select data in a below average, inconsistent team. He was voted their player of the season for 22/23 also. Barnes & Maddison were pretty consistent in their data when Leicester were relegated. It's worth mentioning he's being compared to AMs there though. And I don't think we would use him as such. I think MGW is a good player. I thought it was a good transfer for Forest at the time when many scoffed at the fee. I still like him. But for £40-50m we should be able to find better and for more pressing positions like RW.

Menace Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Spurs paid £47.5M for Brennan Johnsons who IMO is the lesser player out of him and MGW. I don't think we'll get him for the prices quoted personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one minor point, the Wood Sale completed in this financial year so we won't have accrued anything in last years accounts so if we did buy MGW now they would both be in the same year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Forrest are in the clagg facing a points deduction for waiting out for a higher fee for Johnson, making his sale fall in a different accounting period. They may also be at risk of a further deduction if they don’t make additional sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll get him for the prices quoted personally. They pushed the BJ sale into this year to maximise the value, but this has tripped them up FFP wise. Look at their net spend over the summer https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nottingham-forest/transfers/verein/703 If they now look like tripping the FFP regs again this year, and feel that there is at least a 50% of a points deduction (and almost certain relegation) they may look to cash out on MGW now if there is a serious buyer. £40m is a lot of cash for them now, if they go down and trigger a FFP breach the vultures will circle so they may feel that is peak value.

I don't think we'll get him for the prices quoted personally. Johnson’s price would also reflect his potential though, he signed for Spurs having not long turned 22 and he only had one season in the Premier League, when before that he was named the Championship young player of the year the season before I think. Gibbs-White is 24 in a few days and is moving out of the potential bracket, don’t get me wrong I think playing under Howe will potentially see a bigger improvement to what we had with Gordon but that is down to the setting here. I can see why they would have a similar value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
