Well it looks like Engels is off to West Ham for less than what we offered back in January. Why was he not a target this time and if he was why did we lose out to West Ham? I don’t believe we will shell out the 50 or 60 million it would take for Bergvall or the now Middle East-bound Reijnders.

Things are moving very slowly again and, as predicted, Og in the press this week saying we won’t be ready. Sound familiar?

I guess West Ham didn't want to sell him to a relegation rival at the time, Daz.
As far as getting him this time round, it's a case of low "Marx" to our recruitment team.

He probably wanted to start regularly. Maybe he knew he wouldn't be first choice at Forest? Maybe, we are in advanced negotiations with Fofana?

O'Neil stopped the reansdwr as he has a problem with Maranakis sacking him. He seemed a desperate signing back then. I think the reality is that he's a Championship-level player, that's why we've not gone back in for him.

He'd get a bit of game time, but isn't as good as what we have in the first team.

Apologies, I was confusing Engels with Summerville for some reason, probably old age and decrepitude related.
My bad. Wrong player, wrong club. ? ?
