Apparently we are being touted as going in for Zaha in Jan. I have always like Zaha, very talented in my opinion (apart from the last peno he took lol) . Thoughts?
1.) 19 Nov 2022 18:36:01
Who would you have him replace in the squad? We already have to add Scarpa to the squad - presumably in place of Biancone.
There is a lot of talk of transfer activity. I haven't worked out who is leaving at this point. If we are bringing in a striker, then who leaves the squad?

Thanks but no thanks , a mini Ronaldo !
CARLO
3.) 19 Nov 2022 20:04:44
Would love it but would be suprised lol, could fit in top 6 side for sure.
4.) 20 Nov 2022 10:20:12
Redcyclist: Dennis, he's been a crock of wotsit since he cost us £20m. If he's a £20m player then I'm a Taylor Swift (and I'm not, in case you were wondering lol) .
5.) 21 Nov 2022 14:52:29
We should have thrown money at Rashford IMO. I reckon we might have been in with a chance before the season started.
6.) 30 Nov 2022 19:08:26
Good call that cyclist mate ?
7.) 01 Dec 2022 10:55:59
We missed the Rashford boat by the look of it. A goal every 40 mins and joint top scorer at the world cup. Oops.
I reckon we'd have got him for £50M (the price of Dennis + Awoniyi) .
09 Aug 2022 09:00:48
Forest are pursuing West Ham star Benrahma (? ) .
16 Jul 2022 16:18:31
Interesting to see Lewis O'brien and Toffolo missing for Hudders' game against Donny. Personally tink they'll be announced as Red's this week.
1.) 17 Jul 2022 10:31:50
Hope so!
2.) 18 Jul 2022 01:35:35
Both having medicals today if the media are to believed.
3.) 18 Jul 2022 10:47:12
Toffolo a full back - do we need another?
4.) 18 Jul 2022 10:58:58
Toffolo will offer competition to Richards at LWB.
I know, bit weird having two LWB's having gone most of last season without one.
07 Jul 2022 11:36:15
Apparently in advanced talks to sign Williams for 16m, and Richard is in advanced talks too. Defenders. We really need some midfielders and another striker.
1.) 07 Jul 2022 12:18:09
We've needed players all over the park, including defenders/ wingbacks. I'm sure they've got a few midfielders and forwards lined up. Be patient, they can't sign everyone all at once.
2.) 07 Jul 2022 23:05:28
The last time we had a manager that built from the back we didn't do to badly.
3.) 08 Jul 2022 11:10:07
Similarities are there - We've signed an England International goalkeeper (Shilts/ Hendo), we have an excellent recruitment team (Taylor/ Murphy), we've replaced our powerful No9 (Withe/ Davis), we've broken our transfer record (Shilton/ Awoniyi) and a key player that helped us up (Woodcock) had just returned from a loan spell at Lincoln City (Johnson) .
We even had to say goodbye to an absolute rock (Sammy Chapman/ Toby Figs) :D.
4.) 08 Jul 2022 11:17:41
Have we signed Davis, Wonky?
5.) 08 Jul 2022 12:34:10
No, mate. Sorry.
Was just pointing out we've lost Davis like we lost Withe. Replaced with Awoniyi, like we did with Birtles.
6.) 08 Jul 2022 15:59:38
Excellent analogy Wonky! ?.
7.) 08 Jul 2022 17:13:31
The Williams bid has been accepted. Personal terms were already agreed, so expect the club to announce soon.
Wonky, I think it was you who asked, is Omar Richards any good. He does have England caps, doesn't he? I can't remember seeing him play, but I'd hope that means he is pretty good?
8.) 11 Jul 2022 15:37:07
Apparently a bid for £20M has been rejected.
06 Jun 2022 08:46:42
Rumour mill is definitely in full swing at one local rag. Pope; a Ukranian striker; a Barnsley player; lo.
1.) 08 Jun 2022 13:36:47
Chim - Good to hear rumours we hear this season end are now in our favour. Rumours on who we are going to buy - In many seasons gone past its whom are we going to sell.
This time last season Worral looked like he was the one, and for once we kept him and just like magic we reap the rewards. Burke, Lascelles, Darlow, Antonio, Cash and Osbourne to name a few.
Much better fir me hearing those we can buy.
2.) 12 Jun 2022 10:15:43
Think we just need the club to do their work a nd sure there will be some good signings coming in and SC and his staff and work and improve them.

Full time and that was pathetic. Walking around like we're having a stroll in the park.
No fight, no passion, no ideas. So pedestrian it was unreal. I want say we needed to win this game, because we needed to win previous games, not just this one.
Aina, what a waste of time playing him today. Hudson Odoi was pretty awful today. So was MGW. Niakhate was poor. Poor all over the place today. We did not play like a team fighting for their premier league survival. And why should they? At the end of the day they get their pay cheque regardless of losing or winning.
Personally Nuno can go right now for me. He's brought nothing to this team since he's been here. Too negative. Awful subs. I watched tue difference between him and Dyche today. Dyche was restless, angry, shouting, agitated. Nuno? Still as a millpond, rubbing his beard, staring blankly into space like someone watching helplessly. Absolute waste of space for us since day dot.
I can't lie, I think we are down. Can't see us scrapping in the last four games when we have not scrapped all season.
VAR? Awful again. 3 possible penalties denied. Ashley Young handball was clear as day. As was CHO foul in the box.
1.) 21 Apr 2024 16:01:21
Bang on! We were robbed by var yet again but we've got what our performance merited. We are poor and so ais the manager.
2.) 21 Apr 2024 16:09:29
Always said that Nuno's body language doesn't help the team one jot.
If he has a look of resignation about him, what does that look to the players?
3.) 21 Apr 2024 17:06:52
Nuno looks out of his depth. It is as simple as that.
4.) 21 Apr 2024 17:43:35
Rogie mate body language the team was dire every single one of them they looked like they was playing for a mid table finish not like they was in a relegation battle I think we will still stop up because of the 3 teams below us but there's got to be changes from the top to the bottom with this club in the summer and not sure about if the penalties would of changed the result but again cheating at its worst hate this league it's a joke.
5.) 21 Apr 2024 18:18:34
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Short memories some people!
Cooper was hardly the life and soul of the party on the touchline was he?
Look at most prem managers, they're not animated at all, it's only a few who are.
Nuno looks out of his depth?
Cooper definitely was, that's why the change was made.
6.) 21 Apr 2024 18:51:08
Well put as usual redfred.
21 Apr 2024 14:27:56
Half time and we are devoid of any passion or creativity. Aina is bloody useless. Niakhate is so rusty it's unreal. CHO has been pretty much invisible. Playing our usual nonsense of getting into their final 3rd and then playing backwards from there. Nobody willing to have a crack. Wood missing from 2ft.
Can't wait for the second half when we'll have the added bonus of nonsensical subs by Nuno. He can go now for all I care anymore. He's shocking.
13 Apr 2024 21:50:38
Ok, now I've had chance to calm down, my take on the game:
Williams: how many times does this guy stuff up his final delivery? Can he actually hit a bloody ball harder than a tap? Bloody woeful of late.
CHO: failed two golden ops to score, and constantly failed to pull the trigger on crossing from the bi-line into the box.
Yatesy: waste of a position on the field. Foul machine, again, and has his ass bailed by Murillo when gifting the ball to Wolves. Def not capt material.
Aina: passed the ball into touch twice under no pressure at all.
Tavares: awful. Same as Aina in passed the ball out to touch.
Second half we referred back to getting into their final third and then passing it backwards. Sick to death of our players getting into what appear to be decent positions around the area and NOT cracking a shot towards goal.
Sels: flapped at their first goal and totally screwed up for their second. Having said that, he's been decent since coming and I'd firmly plant the blame on our defence's inability to, well, defend.
MGW was immense today.
Murillo was awesome and my MoM.
Reyna had a decent game for his first start.
Nuno: completely naffed up the subs again. No need to sub at all in my opinion and it totally unbalanced the state of play. He's pretty much useless now in my mind.
Thankfully Luton got walloped. But bigger problem is Everton with currently two games in hand. Worrying times ahead.
1.) 13 Apr 2024 22:07:30
No worrying times mate we are 1 point better off with the bottom 3 we were yesterday bottom 3 teams won't win anymore games so we don't have to living the usual forest end of the season dream chill pal and enjoy the draw I am ?.
2.) 14 Apr 2024 10:11:37
Sorry skegs I don’t see it as a point gained mate, but two points lost in a very winnable game against a very ordinary side, at home, tells me Forest are very, very ordinary, or put another way, not good enough. I always hope for great results, even against Man City, but I’m afraid my head is ruling my hart this season, two wins this years, now we are hoping for two wins in five games.
I’ll keep hoping, but realistically just can’t see us getting the points. A hell of a lot resting on the Everton game now.
Relying on two many young inexperienced players too fight a relegation battle, but as I’ve said before, the young uns are the best we have.
13 Apr 2024 17:03:06
If Origi is a professional footballer then I'm a General Custer. Can't even put in a pass when in goal for Wood. Awful.
07 Apr 2024 20:07:45
Awful performance. Usual Jekyll and Hyde Forest; and descent game followed by a completely indifferent game. Totally bereft of ideas, not taking chances again, being too negative when we're behind, pulling out of crossing the ball in dangerous positions. Not sure what Nuno was thinking again with some of the subs, as they offered nothing. Williams was being skinned all game and should have come off way earlier. MGW was pretty ordinary today. Usual performance by Yates, and by that I mean foul, foul, and foul some more. Elanga not using his pace.
Now we're in a real mess with just being ahead of Luton on goal difference, and we're running out of that pretty quick at this rate shipping 3 today. Sat too deep from the off. Don't know about any of you lot but I am now getting sick of these performances:
Listless for most games.
Defence is shocking for most part.
Cannot string simple passes together.
Wood the only striker we have.
Useless tactics for the most part.
Stupid sub decisions.
Too negative.
Too deep.
Backing out of shooting.
Backing out of getting the cross in.
Trying to walk the ball in.
Our players look a yard off the pace and sluggish.
Luton are buzzing at the moment and I honestly cannot see us staying in front of them on their performances.
And to be honest, we deserve to go down.
The big man brought in the cheap option after Cooper went. We've brought in cheap players at extortionate, over the odds, prices.
If Forest was a horse struggling this much, we'd have been shot and put out of our misery.
1.) 08 Apr 2024 05:56:03
Here, here Chimaera. Well said.
2.) 08 Apr 2024 11:00:06
Nice to see someone else seeing the true picture.
Perko and chim 71.
19 Apr 2024 15:35:08
Need players like Murillo…get rid of the others first.
13 Mar 2024 18:34:38
Might know by Friday, but wouldn’t hold my breath lol.
18 Jan 2024 13:34:18
I’m in the other camp to be honest re Mangala. He’s OK but of late he’s been a bit hit and miss. People keep mentioning how good he is, but I just don’t see it.
Last night at Blackpool he was sloppy. Then again, for a period of 30 minutes, EVERYONE was sloppy lol.
24 Jan 2023 22:12:04
Would be an excellent signing.
28 Dec 2022 13:40:29
Striker is a priority. I have no idea why we got Dennis, especially for £20m…said it before and I’ll say it again: we had our pants pulled down when it came to paying that for Dennis. Almost as inept as a certain Silenzi.
21 Apr 2024 19:34:05
Agreed…he simply is woeful with his non-committal in his crossing from the bi-line. Always tries to cut in on his right and EVERYONE knows how to neutralise it.
16 Apr 2024 20:52:01
Well Sunday is going to go one of two ways:
Everton, demoralised will be there for the taking.
Or
Everton, demoralised after the drubbing, get a rocket up their ass by Dyche, and in turn come out like wasps from a kicked wasps nest!
16 Apr 2024 20:49:14
Perko: did the dog get a tetanus jab? Lol, seriously though, hope you’re OK.
16 Apr 2024 20:47:51
I think Awoniyi may be on the bench for the Everton game.
14 Apr 2024 11:13:29
It’s very frustrating because on paper we should be mid table with the players we have. But we are just not performing with any consistency. MGW runs hot and cold in games. Same for Elanga (who seems to have stopped using his blistering pace so much lately).
Aina has always been on and off for us.
Murillo is perhaps the only consistent performer this season.
