It's a real double edged sword.

On one hand getting paulinha on a loan is smart to see if he's upto it without spending 25m or so.

On the other hand its a f*king cheapo move and a real penny pinching opportunity instead of top quality.

Levy and co are smart movers, but I stand by my current thoughts on the ownership and running of the club

We're such a teemu big club

Total bullshit.

Loaning player with option to buy is nothing new.
And if the option for now 30 yo is 25 mil, it is not that cheap at all.

Also he is EPL proven and while we had to play against him, every time I remember he was the best midfielder on the pitch.
How the fuck is random punt like Hjulmund who has done fuck all in real top league somehow better?

We absolutely do need to mix up strategy - we have lot of youth players. Let guys like Gray develop, bring in more experienced players who would have the impact now and who move on (to Saudis /MLS) by the time younger guns reach the peak. Totally reasonable idea.
 
Tel, Danso, Vuskovic, Kudus, Takai and Gibbs-White (hopefully just a formality) improves the squad.
They get nowhere near Liverpool's first XI. Or City's.

Still some glaring gaps, with Spence/Davies not really good enough to play backup to Udogie/Porro.
Our backups aren't good enough, but neither are our starters, especially the left-footed one.

And I'd say that Spurs getting Vuskovic, Bergvall, Tel, Gray, Van De Ven should be regarded as significant in beating off other bigger teams that would have been interested.
Wow.
 
Don’t believe there’s anything on the Garnacho links. Of course we would have looked at him, but reckon it’s his agent trying to drum up interest. Spending 40m plus on him when Chelsea at getting Simons for 55m would be disgusting.

Isn’t MGW at the hospital for his baby’s birth or is someone winding me up?
 
So, no sign of MGW with the Forest squad. No sign of him either at the City Ground. Where on earth has he gone?

Feels like every summer we get fooled into thinking, things will be different.

I'm disappointed at present.

The Gibbs-White signing/not-signjng detracts from the feeling that we still need real freshening in all parts of the pitch.

If someone from within the club's hierarchy makes it clear that our aspirations are top 6, amd a decent cup run, then fine, at least we know.

I don't expect unrestrained buying, but I don't want to hear talk of title aspirations, and then see expenditure consistent with an 8th - 12th place finish.
