think we still need another Maddison type. We lack imagination and probing when Maddison doesn’t play/not available. It’s all just a bit predictable when he’s not there. Even when he does I still think we’re short of that spark and quality.

Just fuck this off now.

Xavi Simons is right there and his club actually want to sell him. Go and make a statement that backs up your claim that we want to win the PL and CL.

I’m with you on simons (ideally him and MGW); he seems like the perfect opportunity right now- incredible talent, young enough to fit in with the club’s youth project yet already experienced enough to contribute now, potential longterm replacement on the left for Son and can play centrally so can rotate for or eventually replace Maddison, club wants to sell and the fee touted in the press isn’t outrageous. Checks so many boxes.
 
Can't just get rid of everyone and replace them in one go. We'll need the experience this season I think.
Experience I agree with but if your experience is making the team worse when they play then it’s utterly pointless. Ben is never going to play centre back for us so if he does play he’ll be left back. He’s a wingers dream nowadays. Sonny just looks shot to fuck and it’s been going on for a while. We can’t hold on to these players now. Time to move on.

Yes, Daniel
Play anywhere after seeing him for 45 minutes😂
 
I don’t see us signing MGW, we needed to sign him quickly after we triggered the clause. Now other clubs know about it and we have lost the element of surprise, Forest will be touting him to other clubs and Levy will not pay more than the clause as a matter of principle.
It’s admirable that MGW does not want to upset the apple cart but if he actually goes on Forest’s pre season tour we should leave him there and move on.
 
Did you finish up cleaning Daniel's car before posting this ?
No. Just dealing with facts. We finished higher than Woolwich six seasons in a row not too long ago. Let’s not pretend it can’t be done because of the ownership.

Saying otherwise is like saying we could never finish 17th under this ownership. It’s factually wrong.

Exactly

He doesn’t clog up the CM positions for Bergvall and Sarr, leaves space for a DM and also gives us competition and cover at AM and LWF

Plus his club aren’t going to fuck about because they want to sell him.

Imagine the statement we’d make if we announced Xavi fucking Simons for 70m

Would be like Newcastle signing Isak. Hes on the same level as Wirtz in terms of talent

Ben is perfect to play LCB/LB in the domestic cups when we need to rest VDV or Udogie.
