Whoever the new Manager is, they must try to get Patrick Bamford in on loan because he loves the club and would give 100%.
1.) 16 Jan 2017 10:57:23
Going to Middlesboro.
2.) 16 Jan 2017 14:39:47
Going to Middlesbrough as a permanent signing; so not going to happen.
3.) 16 Jan 2017 19:12:59
Loved the club that much he went and played for Derby. Hardly hall of fame stuff.
4.) 16 Jan 2017 19:44:50
Could do with another diva at the club. Good news is we had a sell on clause so we will see some of that money coming our way. obviously it will go straight in fawazs pocket like everything else seems to apparently.

Tom Bradshaw from Walsall has emerged as one of the targets for DF according to my inside contact.
Just wait and see.
1.) 25 Aug 2015 14:23:31
Forest cannot sign players who are under contract except on loan"
2.) 25 Aug 2015 14:45:30
And Walsall will prob want money up front. I would!

Nottingham Forest have asked the Football League for permission to agree a future fee for Michael Frey, to help get a loan deal for the striker over the line - and to ensure they do not miss out on signing him permanently in the future.
1.) 18 Aug 2015 00:20:13
Can't see how this would work: no fee can be paid while we're under sanction and there's no indication (and I can't see the club being able to demonstrate) that we'll be out of embargo by the time the loan ends so how can we prove beyond any doubt that we'll be able to complete? Desperate stuff.
{Ed003's Note - Clubs under embargoes are in constant contact with the FL (well they should be) about there situations as finances change and can depending on transfers and if proof of change of finances is given things can change.}
2.) 18 Aug 2015 07:01:27
They are going to say that agreeing a signing on fee now will stop other clubs signing him if he scores loads of goals for us, this will then have a long term financial positive impact on the club. Not sure it will work, but worth a try.
3.) 18 Aug 2015 09:45:40
At the end of the day, we are doing what we can re FFP. Have got high earners off bill. Think the FA should cut us a little slack. This whole FFP thing is a farce, should be unfair play. COYR

Bolton interested in Greg Halford.
1.) Didn't know they needed a striker.
2.) Get rid of Harding and Collins first!
3.) Why does everyone hate Harding he does well when called upon
06 Aug 2014 17:14:51
SSN £8m for Assambolonga with £5m payable up front.
Hope he is worth it?
1.) Anyone seen Assombalonga in Nottingham? Nobody passing by to see if any late night business is being completed? Barry Fry about town?
{Ed034's Note - Barry fry was in nottm yesterday
2.) £8m! Must be having a giraffe!
{Ed034's Note - after add ons
3.) Can't see it being this price but pretty sure he will sign later today or tomorrow
4.) Firstly Gary Baldy is a class monicker!
Aye they're talking about a club record £5.5 million pound? Is he that good?
I read on here earlier too that other clubs up the price when dealing with us and that looks to be the case here.
With Antonio I've heard between £1. 25-£1. 75 so let's say £1. 5 then Brit's £5. 5 that's all the cash from JL and KD gone?!?
Now that's what worries me- I reasoned with myself that we took that money as we were 10mill in the read last year and could understand why it was done even if I didn't wan them to leave. these deals have blown that theory right out the water so was their sale in order to break even or just grease the wheels for more additions without going further into the red?
Answers on a postcard please or just post it on here instead! lol
It may be blind faith on my part but I feel we're doing good business. the best bit though would be getting Henri to give it until at least January before he decides because let's face it we'll be in top six whilst Burnley will be in the bottom six!
IFAPWT
FTID
5.) If this is true then the two signings eat up the money from darlow and lescelles. Skint again
{Ed034's Note - lol
6.) While I can't believe anyone is going to pay £8 million pound for this guy, this is obviously the man SP wanted and has awesome pace and power and more importantly potential. Whatever the price agreed hopefully the doubters regarding Fawaz will shut up now and get behind this new team. Along with Antonio you can't tell me that you won't now believe that what we have to look forwards to over the next few months is more exciting than at any time over the past few years. Now the rest is up to us.
{Ed034's Note - it's £5m which could rise to £8m
7.) That's the price of striking talent now had to have a laugh was perusing on a pboro website earlier and someone commented on britt. "Good footballing brain but rarely produces on the pitch" erm 33 goals in a season are you sure?
8.) Hi Ed. Just want to say, for that amount of money if true, he goes on and scores the same amount of goals as last season.
9.) Ed I'm not sure how business is done behind the scenes, but could it be possible that:
Selling JL and KD puts +7m into the club, so let's say we're now in the red by 3m.
Could Fawaz have bought these signings out of his own pocket, to keep the club at that 3m, or would that also take us to -10m?
If this is completely wrong then just don't post this, it was just an idea after seeing what others had posted above.
{Ed034's Note - it can't come out of his own pocket, as he has out in what he is allowed. The money from darlow and lascelles has funded these two
10.) We're balancing our books by selling off our prized assets at knock-down prices and throwing any money we have left at unproven talents.
It's textbook business management. Well don't to all involved. Ha.
{Ed034's Note - we are signing two attacking players to create and score goals, something that every forest fan admits needed sorting and to do this he has sold two players to fund two exciting talents.
The deal for the two sold is not disclosed but is beloved to be worth £7m, plus saving around £1.5m on wages as we have them back on loan for a season.
You may not agree on selling the players for the money gone, but at least we have strengthened and now have two things we have been missing
11.) 21 one years old, pace power, can obviously finish. Great potential, goalscorers get teams promoted. So good buy really! We will loose Darlow and Lascelles, but, we do have another couple of new young centre halves and a young goalie.
Antonio and him, will add a dimension we have not had for years. Pace and power!! Along with the class of Patterson, Reid, Lansbury etc!
12.) 06 Aug 2014 19:03:07
Another ex Southend player emmmm
13.) What everyone seems to be forgetting is that we still have KD and JL for the season.
So Cox and Mackie have gone to Reading and been replaced straight away with two pretty exciting prospects.
If you look at our team on paper for this season I think we have the best shot at going up than we have had in a long, long time.
I'm excited!
14.) Fawaz just announced! 5 year deal!
15.) What is wrong with people. How exciting is that signing. 20 goals for Britt or I will drink my own urine out of a derby beaker
16.) There some persons about!
8million for a top striker who will score goals, goals and more goals!
It's the first time we've had a goalscorer since the days of collymore and van hooijdonk! And they both got us promoted!
so assombolonga. say no more! COYR!
17.) Was very upset bout the sale of Darlow and Lascelles, but the signing of these two lads are good signings and does add a lot more fire power to the side.
I would rather the deal for 5m young very good striker than the 11m for mcormack that Fulham shelled out for someone who may only have another good season in him.
18.) If the deal for Assombalonga is to be believed at 8m (after add on's) and this lad turns out to be a diamond and we end up promoted his value will of just doubled if not quadrupled. Good business!!
Good to see the excitement back now for Saturday.
19.) We've had our pants down on this one and unless Assombalongname scores a hatful next season then he will have been an over-priced, expensive mistake.
I appreciate he is 21yo and is better judged over the next 2-3 years but Forest need to invest in players that will improve the first team squad immediately and I'm not sure this guy is good enough. He's certainly not proven.
We wouldn't be held to ransom over Sako but we chuck twice as much money at this fella? Seems bizarre to me. Is Fawaz trying to make up for upsetting Pearce and the fans, or was this the big signing that was planned all along?
{Ed034's Note - haha
20.) Stop moaning for godsake!
Let's be thankful that were one of the hatfull of clubs that can sigh quality players like brit! FTID

Its not down to DF its down to the people who are running the club.
This is from a reliable source, the guy who has been working for the club since he was 15, and you know who it is was unceremoniously sacked . Penny pinching in the wrong area is ripping the heart out of our great club.
03 Sep 2015 21:56:02
FFP, How would we stand if we had a game this weekend while still waiting for clearance from these over paid bureaucrats?
Is anyone going to fight our corner against these ridiculous rulings?
1.) 04 Sep 2015 15:20:56
Yeah our CEO will fight it !! Oops no we haven't got one . Come on Fawaz we love ya but you can't do it all yourself go out and employ a top CEO you can afford it pal and it will make your life a lot easier as well as stopping our great club ending up with embarrassing winding up orders and late payments
27 Aug 2015 08:50:52
If Watford came in for Antonio with an offer of £5 Million plus Vydra on the same terms we should snap there hands off. Maybe it is something that DF is working on.
1.) 27 Aug 2015 09:11:18
That takes the biscuit.
2.) 27 Aug 2015 09:36:41
its not rocket science as we all know but we really really need a striker if that means letting antonio go so be it,
i don't think he is premier league but obviously from what we keep hearing he thinks he is. What M A does not realise if he was really that good better teams than the ones that get a mention would be in for him. The teams he will end up at will probably be fighting the drop not really a great career move in my view.
3.) 27 Aug 2015 09:45:58
People just fantasize about what they want to happen.
Why don't they stop and think first. I am not sure Vydra would get a game every week the way DF sets his team out.
4.) 27 Aug 2015 16:48:30
We keep talking about prem players dropping down a league for peanuts?
Lets get real and forget all this nonsense once and for all. Hooper, Vydra, jarvis? Not a chance.
19 Aug 2015 18:20:39
Fawaz has just tweeted, Henri is staying with us COYR#nffc
06 Jul 2015 16:54:22
Has anyone noticed that Ben Osborn's squad position is listed as defender? Does that mean DF is going to play him at left back?
1.) 06 Jul 2015 19:05:52
I wouldn't pay too much attention to it at the moment Gary, still showing Lars even though he's out on loan but not showing Radi who is still (at the time of writing) contracted.
It only shows 2 keepers as well. Oh, hang on a minute.
2.) 06 Jul 2015 19:27:08
After the way osborn has played it would be criminal to play him anywhere but in the middle of the park.he was one of the few shining lights last season.why would you put him left back after having a quality 1st season?
3.) 06 Jul 2015 20:05:42
He started out in the youth team as a left back
and knowing how good our IT are he is still that on the records
4.) 06 Jul 2015 20:06:45
Agree on Osborn. What ever happens to us, he will be quality this season.
01 Sep 2015 17:15:52
Excellent bustling CF, just what we need.
29 Aug 2015 12:51:22
Paul Taylor & Stevie May are the 2 signings to excite the fans. What a load of tosh.
19 Aug 2015 20:15:58
Even if e got 9 million we could not invest that on another player. I thought everyone knew that by now?
12 Mar 2016 14:20:15
I agree, looking at the team sheet I think we are going to take a beating today.
09 Jan 2016 20:55:29
If its the pitch, why are the opposition never affected.
25 Nov 2015 20:32:59
That's because DF was never much of a striker himself. I can remember him being so inconsistent and he flattered to deceive.
Sorry Ed, the song should be "whose that walking over the Trent Assomblonga* to the Monster song by the Automatic,
Seen this lad play twice now, he really shows what a waste of money Bakary Sako £4-5 million would have been, when we can get this prospect for next to nothing.
