Nottingham Forest Rumours Mobile

Does anyone know what happened to us re buying Dodo? I thought it was all done bar the medical (no puns about deal being as dead as a dodo).

26 Aug 2026 21:28:34
It looks like they're trying to sign other WBs. Don't know whether they want Dodo as well.

26 Aug 2026 22:54:45
One report this afternoon saying Fiorentina rejected EUR7M offer for Dodo from Forest.

26 Aug 2026 15:50:45
Rumours:

According to the Guardian, we are in talks with Rueda for RWB. Real Madrid will get 50% of Celta's fee. He looks like a younger alternative to Dodo and also a better defender.



We are still trying to get the fee down for Bergvall.

No idea whether this is true. Luis Suarez has an £80M release clause and we might be looking at him. Top player.

26 Aug 2026 17:02:28
Morato to Roma on loan.

26 Aug 2026 18:39:53
And Andre from Corinthians. 20-year-old Brazilian CM. £13.6M

Cheap if he's as good as Murillo.

25 Aug 2026 20:27:11
I’m not overjoyed to see us buy Delap.

25 Aug 2026 21:32:43
I assume there was no way of getting him or someone equal/better than him for less than an initial £45m. Seems a mammoth fee given what I saw of him live last year (but he was great for Ipswich).

Amazing to think that Harry Wilson went to Leeds on a free and James Trafford - perhaps the next England No 1 - went for 5-10m less.

All in July I think.

Not saying we could have done any better, but it's not exactly transfer genius, is it.

26 Aug 2026 13:05:23
Watch us start to panic buy now. OG must be kicking himself. He might even walk.

26 Aug 2026 13:28:58
Good post as usual, Agen.
It's what a club with similar resources to ours can achieve with stability and joined up thinking, rather than lurching from one manager to another, mate!

26 Aug 2026 19:20:01
Alternatively, we could still be in Division 1, or maybe a little lower, but that's better, eh ffs.

26 Aug 2026 19:44:56
Of course, it's better, Oakham, mate, but we could be an established Premiership team instead of hanging on by our eyebrows in 3 out of 4 seasons we've been up. Don't you see how much better it could be, how much money we've wasted, and how many opportunities Mr M has chucked away by his impetuousness?
As I've said before, I bet he doesn't run his shipping business in the same cavalier fashion he does Forest.....

26 Aug 2026 21:09:35
Stokey, you are 100% right.

25 Aug 2026 18:55:34.
We're paying £45M for Delap according to reports from Sky. Wow!

25 Aug 2026 19:19:05
Yup, plus 5 mill in add ons. Can't say Mr M isn't trying to improve the side. 🌳

25 Aug 2026 19:53:59
Great signing, will push us to the next level.

25 Aug 2026 21:33:51
Based on what we are watching tonight, improving us won't be much of an issue.

25 Aug 2026 14:52:27
Rumour: French media are reporting that we are in talks to sign Luis Suarez from Sporting, 38 goals in 53 appearances. No price has been quoted. He's 28 and a full Colombian international. Was at Watford earlier in his career. 🌳

25 Aug 2026 17:21:25
I wish.....

25 Aug 2026 17:53:31
Tbh mate, I thought the same, but heyho, you never know. At least we've finally got our fingers in several pies. It's been reported on a few sites, so there must be some substance to it. 🌳

25 Aug 2026 11:15:06
Rumour: Bakwa of the Le Mastiffs (Lille) on a loan to buy deal. 🌳

25 Aug 2026 13:07:47
To the**.

25 Aug 2026 10:59:58
Outgoing rumour:

Bakwa off to play Champions League for Lille on loan. No option to buy.

We do have too many wngers for a Galsner system.

The link to Murphy is weird, unless OG wants to use him as a RWB. We already have Ndoye for that trick though.

25 Aug 2026 13:33:34
Ndoye not suitable. Doubt Murphy is, and at 31, a bit of a stop-gap.

25 Aug 2026 14:22:54
Cyclist, I have a sneaky feeling we both read exactly the same transfer posts. 🤣 You beat me to posting this one though. 👌🌳

24 Aug 2026 20:33:25
Forest negotiating a deal for Delap.
Apparently a loan with a potential to buy.

24 Aug 2026 23:12:00.
He was injured a lot last year and only scored one goal in the season, and now we buy him for £50 million? Pants-down job if ever there was one.

25 Aug 2026 07:24:36
Delap will be on Chelsea wages, and that might be the stumbling issue. Watkins is available, and Harvey Elliot from Liverpool
Elliot is an ideal MGW replacement, who is injured currently.

24 Aug 2026 19:37:36
Breaking News, you heard it here first: Forest have opened talks with Chelski over Delap. This isn't a rumour, our transfer team is in London and are at the Fulham game tonight. 🌳

24 Aug 2026 20:44:48
Probably just gone to watch Fulham then. Delaps not even in the match day squad.

24 Aug 2026 20:55:07
Beeb Sport are now reporting it too. Guess my eyes ain't that bad. 🤪

24 Aug 2026 20:55:07
Yes. Loan to buy. Delap is an enigma to me. Great in that first season in Prem for Ipswich, but I saw him live 5 times at Chelsea last year, as my neighbour is sadly a Chelsea fan, and he honestly looked absolutely awful.



For me, I'd like to see more in midfield, and maybe another wing back or two. A lot on MGW's shoulders if we don't have someone with more steel in there alongside him.

23 Aug 2026 08:20:38
Rumour control has Forest bidding £70m for Thiago from Brentford! It could be a great move if it's true, and if he's available!

25 Aug 2026 13:35:13
All gone quiet on that. Guess they just binned it, and not going to go back in. More like a smokescreen for real bids.
