Novocastrian Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 In fairness to Forest, they reportedly bought Anderson from us for circa £35m so they will feel Elanga is worth at least that. Plus the fact they have about 5 hours to source a replacement, add on another £10m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 At this point, no club is selling a main player, unless it’s a daft offer. Just absolutely pointless us even asking if a club will sell, left it far too late if no serious ground work been put in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 What an absolute farce this window has been from beginning to end, too early to for Mitchell to be blamed but serious questions need asking of Eales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 ‘Hello Forest, we’d like Elanga - would you like Almiron and some lose change from the back of the settee?’ ’No’ Another deal ended before it had a chance to become exciting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I appreciate there's more to an offer/deal than some Tweet making out we've only made it within the last hour or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think there’s a more nuanced view of enquiring for a seemingly unattainable player 6 hours before the deadline of a 2 and a half month long transfer window?

I think perhaps we were overly confident of the Guehi deal going through, and the majority of the money was going to be spent there. Once we got that shut down earlier on, it seems we finally woke up and realised we were sitting on a bunch of money and started exploring other avenues. I think Parish really stitched up Mitchell something proper, which is fair enough. Hope he had fun. We'll just have to take the L and learn from it.
