Hutchinson gone, think God. 37 million for Franz Carr 2.0. Quick, tricky but no end product.
1.) 31 Aug 2026 17:44:57
Franz Carr. Good memory. Pretty sure I saw him live and score versus Chelsea many moons ago.
Thought he was amazing... but he wasn't.
2.) 31 Aug 2026 18:54:27
Franz, I don't think I've ever watched a player run past three defenders and sky it into row Z more times than him.
3.) 01 Sep 2026 15:53:13
As I've been saying, wingers are redundant under OG, hence his move (and Bakwas) was fairly predictable. Lack of joined-up thinking by Mr M, but it's only wasted £70 million, and it's not our money, apparently. ??????????

Is Jesus going to Athletico?
Is Luiz going to Villa.?
Two of our most skilful players that don't suit Dyche's up and under launch ball. Get the giants in to drag the ball out the sky. going to set us back years.
1.) 28 Jan 2026 22:43:58
He was an edu signing remember.

17 players departed. 4 incoming plus a goalie that will never play unless the ladies team have a bad run on injuries.
So, Delap a £30 million flop who cost 50 mill.
Diomande who might be ok but might not.
Schlager, some freebie journeyman no one's ever heard of.
Munoz, a 22 million right back at the end of his career when we have two of the best in Williams & Aina.
Marinakis masterclass. ?
1.) 02 Sep 2026 10:20:03
Schlager is quality, Larry. He'll graft, win the ball and give it to McAtee and MGW. I've heard of him because I have a broad palette when it comes to football digestion. ?
2.) 02 Sep 2026 10:28:08
Red Robin, I knew of Schlager. I follow world football, and like to have a small bet occasionally. My little specialty is betting players to get yellow cards in doubles. Schlager has won me a few quid, he's decent, but lacks mobility. On his own, he will not replace Anderson. We needed another quality signing in midfield.
3.) 02 Sep 2026 10:36:05
I like Marinakis somewhat - his financial backing etc to date - but find his behaviour generally poor and (perhaps of most relevance) his total lack of an obvious plan to make us an established Premiership club.
OG is a v good manager, so that's good. I like Munoz and I rate the Swiss guy, but 1) Delap is unproven, and cost 3x what Fleming just cost, who is similar and scored 11 goals last year; 2) the Swiss guy has a track record of injury; 3) McAtee is unproven, Diomande the same.
My own view on this window - based on nothing - is that I suspect we don't have that much to spend.
That's the most logical conclusion. Bear in mind how much we've wasted at times since we got promoted.
And we've spent the last 10 days flailing around, leaking bids and looking a bit foolish.
Everything appears somewhat disorganised from the outside, and that's because it possibly is on the inside.
We won't be an established Premiership club unless this improves, but that's been the case for 4 years and counting.
4.) 02 Sep 2026 11:04:49
I think Schlager is Austrian, not Swiss.
5.) 02 Sep 2026 11:13:41
That is a fair point!
6.) 02 Sep 2026 11:50:45
Stevie, good on ya mate, a lot of the Bundesliga is free on YouTube, and the beeb now shows it. I've loosely followed RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim because their stories are interesting, and simply because they are the most hated sides out there. ?
25 Aug 2026 18:58:24
Another Maricrackers master stroke 45 million for the new dud. Delap
Panick buy of the century.
Chelsea 30 million mega flop signs for us & they've managed another 15 million. ???
1.) 25 Aug 2026 19:27:12
Give him a chance FFS, Jesus wept!
2.) 25 Aug 2026 19:45:52
Give Delap time to develop under Woody. He'll be an excellent replacement for Taiwo!
Welcome to the WFCG, Liam Delap!
3.) 25 Aug 2026 19:52:54
Yes, welcome!
4.) 25 Aug 2026 19:55:18
Replacement for Taiwo? Is there enough room on the treatment table. ??
5.) 25 Aug 2026 19:57:05
Brilliant signing, will be a Forest legend.
Also, great team selection tonight. Igor and Kali to bag one each, and Forest win 2 Zip.
6.) 25 Aug 2026 20:29:52
Yeah, he is a good signing for us. He will fit into Glasner's system well, a big bully boy up front with pace, and can finish.
7.) 25 Aug 2026 21:29:58
Larry why is everything a joke to you?
You don't seem to have anything positive to say even when Forest are on a Roll!
Larry by name,Lamb ? by nature!
17 Aug 2026 08:13:01
Stick to football lads, it's the big kick off in 5 days time. I cant believe what ive just read. Are you that paranoid about Skegs, Stokie you got Ed33 hunting through posts ( witness for the prosecution) to prove a point that was nothing to do with football. Come children really.
1.) 17 Aug 2026 09:01:15
It took me around 5 minutes, Larry. One of the easier cases I've had to prove over the years, mate. I can see why you want to move on, as your mate has been found out.
As I've mentioned before, I won't accept attacks on my honesty and integrity from anyone, least of all you two jokers.
A simple apology will suffice. I'm more than happy to talk about football.
2.) 17 Aug 2026 09:03:26
What do you reckon, Larry, wait for a price drop on the younger Bergvall or go for Fofana now?
3.) 17 Aug 2026 09:15:25
Go for Fofana, Cyclist. Proven, a quarter of the price & 27 aint old. Leaves more money for a decent striker. ?
4.) 17 Aug 2026 09:07:41
By the way, I’m very grateful for Ed’s part in exposing your mate but he didn’t have to go.
"Hunting" anywhere as I found and sent the exact date, time ( to the second) and place to look. I know you two don’t care a jot about your reputation and integrity which is understandable, but I do.
Thanks again Ed.
5.) 17 Aug 2026 09:17:43
Just let it go, Stokie, you'll make yourself ill, mate. Tell me about your thoughts, Fofana or Bervall.
6.) 17 Aug 2026 09:23:19
Fofana all day long for me. We need a player who can play now, not that might come on and be better in a few years.
7.) 17 Aug 2026 10:55:03
I agree with both of you. Fofana is a much better option. Spurs are stringing us along. If they are asking for £60M, they don't want to sell.
8.) 17 Aug 2026 11:12:14
Fofana all day long, Cyclist. More than 200 appearances for AS Monaco and AC Milan, at least he's proven. And, price wise, a bargain imo. ?
06 Aug 2026 11:51:27
Juventus after Milenkovic, 25 million
We are having a cracking window aren't we.
1.) 06 Aug 2026 13:26:36
Exceptional, Larry.
Heard Diamonde and Reindeer have rebuffed any interest from Forest.
Reindeer had a good game last, was a standout player, and wishes to fight for his place, allegedly. ? ?
2.) 06 Aug 2026 13:36:15
Are you hearing these voices in your head, Ripley? ??
3.) 06 Aug 2026 13:46:59
Whoever was doing the negotiating for us had a disagreement over the price.
Negotiations have, however, stopped.
4.) 06 Aug 2026 14:23:32
Watch this space, Skeggs.
Never mock a Thesbian. ?
5.) 06 Aug 2026 14:40:46
Red were not going to pay over the odds for any player just for the sake of it simples and correct. ?
6.) 06 Aug 2026 16:01:54
Marinakis is expecting to get a Harrods-type player for Temu money.
Ridiculous!
24 Jul 2026 05:37:48
I hope we don't waste a now talked about 60 million on Bergvall. Take punt at 20 million ok but can't see nothing about him, couldn't buy a game in a relegation quality squad. There must be better out there for a lot less surly.
1.) 24 Jul 2026 06:40:24
Yes, Spurs trying to play payback for MGW. We must be stupid if we pay that price.
2.) 24 Jul 2026 11:45:10
Don't you 2 ever disagree???
Go on just this once.
???
3.) 24 Jul 2026 12:47:05
That reminds me, Rogie. One of my favourite films is "The Odd Couple" starring the brilliant Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon!
Nowhere near as good as our own "Chuckle Brothers", of course.... ???
4.) 24 Jul 2026 15:10:36
I'd say it's pretty obvious that only idiots would think he's worth 60 million. But I guess there are a few out there. ?
5.) 24 Jul 2026 16:22:59
Yes, Stokey!
2 absolute legends, brilliant series, and movie.
6.) 24 Jul 2026 18:46:27
Got to agree, Jay! That lad ain't worth nowhere near that kind of dish! Was a bit-part player for "Spuds" last season, so not worth a punt for potential. Move on. Gotta be more value out there.
7.) 24 Jul 2026 20:05:08
Diomande incoming, deal done.
Regarding Bervall, I'd say it won't be a straight 60 mill anyway, more a structured payment, like MGW was.
By all accounts, the lad has real talent, so I'm not against it. The recruitment has proved before, with Anderson, that they see things in a player.
8.) 24 Jul 2026 20:17:09
To be fair, Bergvall got player of the season in his first with Spurs. Structured or loan to buy would definitely be better. ?
9.) 24 Jul 2026 20:40:31
Think loan to buy is out of the question. Spurs spent a lot.
But it's one that will take time, with Newcastle also interested, but probably not at the price as a straight deal.
10.) 24 Jul 2026 21:13:02
"Dosh" not "dish".
11.) 24 Jul 2026 21:28:02
You've been reading too many of my posts, Perko. ?
29 Aug 2026 13:26:42
Good goalie, but too old now. ?
22 Feb 2026 20:34:55
I thought you were done on here. That didn't last long. ??
07 Feb 2026 04:38:43
The Dyche machine is all crashing down around yor ears Stokey. Told ya mate.
09 Sep 2026 18:45:57
Rogie, don't mention Queen to Stokie mate. You'll get him all excited again. ?
09 Sep 2026 10:37:18
Don't agree, Lego. DTP had his options, but I find that refreshing, & at least when he spoke about football, it was with good knowledge. Nobody had more tussles with him than me, but I never lost any sleep.
It's a banter site, & I enjoyed our exchanges, & I'm sure he did. Some folk take life too seriously. If you want to talk politics, Shakespeare, & charities, etc., there's a discussion section for that. Lighten up, mate.
08 Sep 2026 16:20:25
Wow, that's told me. My, however, will I recover from that put down. ???
08 Sep 2026 14:13:44
I'll take your word for it, Stokie, it's your world. ? ? Hislop & Cleary were superb, eh? Bless ya. Glad you enjoyed it. ??
08 Sep 2026 12:37:54
Just as we suspected, Skegs. Stokie goes cruising. ? It's all falling into place now. ??
