In terms of strategy I wonder if Dane Murphy s plan of buying and developing young hungry and talented players ( with a smattering of old pros) and potentially selling them on for vast sums will survive the Premiership? I hope so but we are atm low down in the food chain where the big boys routinely spend mega millions buying the finished product or spend peanuts creaming off the best of the other clubs Academy stars usually for a pittance decided by tribunal.
My fear is that we become a feeder or nursery club but hopefully the reverse of that is that young players will be attracted to us by our set up and Steve Coopers reputation. The key is not to press the panic button and change things so we spaff our new money on big name but fading "stars" and we stick to our guns in what will undoubtedly be a survival struggle next season. It's important stay with the band of brothers ethos even if we are struggling and relegation looms.
Thoughts?

I agree SR . Our problem is 5 of our regulars last season were loans . Maintaining that team spirit is vital . I am sorry if Samba has gone but would be happy if Davis and Zinc are signed . This is silly season when rumours are abound so whether Spence or Garner will return and in what capacity who knows . Lowe I probably would not sign. This came from a Blades fan who was that enthused about Henderson! Only SC would know what step up is necessary and whether that 11 that earned our promotion would keep us afloat in the premier league.

Apparently Middlesbrough have not recieved a official bid for spence.
Why are we hanging around. They want £20 . Offer them a deal that rises to £20m with add ons. Say 13m plus add ons.
Forget Lowe too injury prone
Sign Davis 7m
Williams £10m plus add ons
Gibbs white £15m plus add ons
Roden
Garner
Rothwell
Henderson.

Agents mate. Nobody will sign till 5 mins before kick off against Newcastle. They are the worst thing that ever happened to football.
Total parasites. You've got Spence saying it's not up to him where he plays next. Rubbish, Nobody can make you go where you don't want to. Its not the slave trade, if I wanted to sign for Forest I would do, if not I'd do an Hoijdonk. Its not like he would have to claim benefits.
Just total nonsense ?.

I'm so proud, that three local lads will be playing in the Premier, with Nottingham Forest. Seeing as their was so many times it was reported, they where being sold.

They may well have been sold Red if we hadn’t gone up. Certainly Brennan, jagged to keep on top of FFP and balance the books mate.

You are probably right, but I am so glad they have decided to take the next step in their career's with Nottingham Forest.
