Or he just doesn't have genuine alternatives? He's put out some wacky line ups at times, it's only recently he's started really sticking with close to the same XI I think.

Not like he has ever had many options to change the team though due to injuries and general lack of quality squad. IMO adding good reliable depth to the squad is probably even more important than adding starters due to the drop off in quality to the next player in most positions. We are probably playing at least 8-10 extra games compared to last season and right now we have two good options only at LCB, LW and RB (and Trippier is ancient).

STM Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Isak Gordon Pedro Elanga Tonali Bruno Hall Botman Guehi Tino Trafford I'd argue that team above is a significant jump in quality for our starting 11. And before people make the point, im aware of how crucial Joelinton is to the way we play, but how nice would it be to have options; Burn, Schar, Trippier, Joelinton, Murphy, Barnes, Miley, Pope. In theory, of course. Still all the work to do and id not be shocked of we didn't sign any of those players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite system and would perhaps negate the need for a midfielder, still not convinced Howe will abandon 3 in midfield on a regular basis though. Think this system is how we get even more out of Isak and play to his strengths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true that on form Burn is a much better bet than Botman. It's also a long time since Botman was fit and actually looked any good. He's no quicker than Burn either.

GallowgatePigeon Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Whenever it comes to a signing, the opinions that matter most are that of the locals. I've just checked the Forest forum and by golly gosh, they rate him highly and would be gutted to see him leave. So on that basis, fucking pay them the money and bring the big man home. Plus, it'll be nice for Isak to have a wee Norwegian friend he can speak Danish with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
