Nottingham Forest Rumours Mobile

We apparently tried to sign dwight Gayle in the summer and will go back for him in January, now that would be the icing on the cake for me.

19 Oct 2019 20:41:17
So says the unathletic Taylor from the Athletic, if true we, did not try hard enough but he could make the difference between play offs and automatic promotion

20 Oct 2019 00:37:47
Three points tomorrow at the dw would be the icing on the cake, good weekend, England beat the Aussies, now we need three points to keep up our promotion push.

20 Oct 2019 08:13:03
Me too ff said it all the way through pre season and still saying it. The man is full of goals at this level.

20 Oct 2019 11:03:53
Gayles ability is not in doubt, but the club having tried to sign him is for me. If the club tried to sign him anything that stood in the way in the summer will still stand in the way in January. If Forest really were serious about getting him they would have thrown everything at all parties concerned to make sure they got him,they did not get him, so why will January be any different?

20 Oct 2019 13:07:37
Because they didn't expect to be sitting joint top of the league so maybe more money is available now to push on.

20 Oct 2019 13:21:22
You could be right, but in a joke SL said he was told by our owner, get promoted or i will kill you, if you want promotion and you chase someone like Gayle you go all out, not half hearted.

20 Oct 2019 22:14:11
Are you or real? Is there any difference between half hearted or flat out for a deal? Unbelievable! If we offered a good deal we could offer two thirds now and he would jump at the deal with a few clauses in places for next season- keep it real guys for goodness sake.

21 Oct 2019 05:28:50
If we offered a good deal he would jump at the deal, your words 2tone, so did we not offer him a good deal last time? Like i said, either we did not chase him in the summer, or the deal was not good enough for Gayle. If we were to offer a good enough in January for him to take it then that should have happened in the summer.

21 Oct 2019 12:32:24
Maybe it was the fee we could not agree with Newcastle?

21 Oct 2019 12:33:02
Wtw. We are a completely different proposition at the moment and Certain players will want to come to us if we are still in a strong play off position in January. We can offer more to the players now and would be far more attractive than we were pre season.

21 Oct 2019 12:36:25
And primarily the deals got to be good for Forest - if it doesn’t fit in with us I couldn’t care less if it’s not a good deal for Gayle.

21 Oct 2019 13:39:38
79 you may well be right, if that is the case do you think their price for the fee will be dropped in January.

2tone yes you are right that our position will help to attract some players, because we could get promoted, but we will not be able to pay them anymore than we could in the summer. I also agree any deal has suit Forest, but like i said in one of my posts i doubt the rumour is true, but he could make the difference between the play offs and automatic promotion.

21 Oct 2019 17:45:48
There could have been any number of reasons why the deal never happened, no point making it as black and white as "we offered our best deal, he rejected it so now itll never happen"

21 Oct 2019 18:17:30
RS, wtw seems to be saying the rumour is bs, and if the club did happen to make contact with him they did not offer all that they could,and should they go after try again in January they will they will need to offer him a better deal, if they do why did they not do that in the summer. Everyone is giving their opinion, who knows if anyone is right.

Liam Sole, a 19 year old, a free agent ex MK Dons player was a trialist for our under 23's, he was the star of the show. He is said to be quick, and has good feet, add that to another young player who played in the same game that we found in the French fifth tier we are thinking about signing shows the club are thinking about the future aswell as the here and now.

SL Championship Manager of the Month, Forest 'joint top' of the Championship, City Ground full, squad coping injuries? Pinch me, I must be dreaming. COYR. 😊.

11 Oct 2019 09:42:19
Yeah, well done to him, the rest of the staff and the players, thoroughly deserved Mr Lamouchi, doing a sterling job.

11 Oct 2019 12:10:22
Not just City Ground full either. Pretty much every away game we are asking for more tickets!

11 Oct 2019 22:13:42
Other than Wigan it's getting hard to get an away ticket even as a season card holder.

06 Oct 2019 12:52:08
Really pleased to see Matty Cash is maturing into a top home grown player who can play in different positions. Already scored 9 goals in 88 appearances at 22.

Compare him to Benny Osborn who at 25 only scored 15 in 212 appearances delpoyed more often than not in a more advanced position on the pitch.

Matty looks like he is heading for a more successful career while Benny has hit a ceiling so in my book great business to sell and invest stronger more gifted players. No more games where we get bullied or outpaced in midfield. Long may it continue.

Onward and Upward.

06 Oct 2019 14:10:14
I think long term his best career option is at right-back.

06 Oct 2019 14:58:47
i think Cash is probably the best RB we’ve had for years, last one close was probably Gunther.

06 Oct 2019 16:30:50
Good old Gunther 🤣.

06 Oct 2019 18:35:42
Matty has made right back his position he's been man of the match last four games and just gets better with each game.
Top quality along with worrall, just shows the academy players can make it.

06 Oct 2019 18:47:06
Gunter must have set a record for the number of goals conceded on his back post? Remember the days when we couldn't defend a ball played in from wide to the back post? You could set your watch by it!
