[SuperFlat]

Just nice to have an Ornstein bid story tbh. Buzzing.

Aye, I never really believed the Pedro one tbh, although if we got both we would be in a fantastic position.

Time will tell, maybe next week, or the one after 

[janpawel]

It isn't clear how much is with add ons 

 

Could it be we offered 40m + 5m with add ons? 

 

Wonder how high we are prepared to go 

[GallowgatePigeon]

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to finally se a bit of movement, but is Elanga the transformational purple we need?

 

I'm not being flippant, I honestly have no clue if this guy is any good as I don't watch much football aside from our games

If Wilson won't be staying striker or versatile forward will be up there with RW position. Not disagreeing both at 100m+ seem likely but definitely need to recruit for both positions somehow.

Some nice finishes and crosses in there. Overall the main takeaway is that we should go all out for MGW though.

 

 

[George Bailey]

Underwhelming in my opinion

Yeah I meant I never saw him as a realistic target (due to price and other squad needs).

[Turnbull2000]

Move on. We can't afford to pay over the odds. Also resent gifting Forest again after the Anderson farce.

[The Prophet]

I think he'd be class for us.

That was our fault, not forests.

[Optimistic Nut]

If we're looking at him as a first choice winger in a Champions League team then can't blame them valuing him £50-60m.

True, we are desperate for both.

[SUPERTOON]

I hope we don’t pay 60 million, however that is still cheaper than prices quoted for Semenyo and Kudus (our apparent alternative options).

[Joelinton7]

People have to remember that he’d be 10x the player under Eddie than he ever will be at Forest. Eddie will turn him world class.

[The Prophet]

Seems most of the press have been briefed that £60 million is the price Forest want. 

 

If we met at £55 million, it wouldn't be unreasonable.

A front three of Isak, Gordon and Elanga would be phenomenal. Some people need to give their heads a wobble.

Well if there’s tons of transitions into space then he would do well in these moments. He doesn’t improve us in general play whatsoever. He’s poor technically. He doesn’t evolve us one bit.  If we are to spend 50m+ it must be for a player that improves us in many areas of the game.

Its good, but some people want something different. No shame in that..

He'd be an upgrade on Murphy and allow Tino to overlap more. 

 

He wouldn't be transformational, but he'd improve the first team.

We're already a really good team. We need to be more consistently really good against better teams. He'll help. Our coaching team will make him more effective than he already is.

Something a bit different = a lad from a abroad with a YouTube highlights reel set to the worst music you’ve ever heard.

Good player, good delivery from dead balls. Speedy. Lots for Eddie to work with.

In general play he is similar to Murphy and we want to replace him.  He’s more explosive and quicker than Murphy but apart from that he offers nothing more. 
 

If we are in the attacking third in a non transitional situation he won’t be able to keep hold of the ball well and drag defenders out of shape to open up space for others . He’s not a 50-60m player as he’s limited in many areas. 
 

Not worth this much money on a slight upgrade on Murphy.

You are probably one of those who talks down countries for travel, places you’ve never visited yourself.
