Yes.
Cause there is inherent value of having exclusively players 17-25.
It automatically makes the side better (and 30yo players inherently worse) right?
Fucksake.
We also need a player that can close down the channels and win back the ball.
Not all of our midfielders have to have Maddisson passing range/creativity.
Palinha would be an amazing signing, most proven and high quality than literally any of the alternative.

My mate is a scouser and he's absolutely buzzing about their window
it's not confirmed until he's holding up the placenta on the club's siteWife in final weeks of a high risk pregnancy. Shes in hospital.
Edit: check Britney de Villiers’ Instagram story.
MGW’s absence means nothing. Sorry everyone.

the silence on other fronts is what makes me think the mgw thing is still active.So bored of this MGW shit now. It was a really nice and welcome suprise when we moved for him a couple of weeks ago, and now it's just dragged on and it really doesn't look like he's coming here.
What I am more worried about, is how quiet it is on other targets.
All our rivals doing huge business, we are nearly in August now and we've signed one player after finishing 17th.
It's fucking shocking it really is. Same old shite under ENIC.
I think we're getting sidetracked. I'm not saying 'we' broke the confidentiality clause or any other agreement. I'm saying that, if it's true the clause was an oddly specific number, and if it's true we bid exactly that number, then we revealed that either MWG or his agent broke confidentiality and that gave Forest grounds to reject the offer. And, by extension, if we knew the clause was confidential, it was a rookie error to offer that exact amount, since we should have anticipated the potential consequences.
The caveat to your original post and my replies is, of course, that none of us really knows, so it's all speculation.

Forest don't have grounds to reject the offer though nor should we be dealing with any consequences as we have done nothing wrong, for all we know had we offered say £100k over the amount then they'd still be acting up.
They're just salty they didn't do their due diligence and have been trying to get rid of this release clause from his contract for a year and didn't expect anyone to his the clause.
