Looks like we'll be getting another defender.
Morato of Benfica. €15m been accepted.
24 Jan 2024 10:03:38
According to Fabrizio Romano were are being linked with a loan move for Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Gio Reyna.
He's quality!
18 Dec 2023 19:56:33
According to Fabrizio Romano Forest are in contact with Nuno Espirito Santo as new Head coach in case they decide to fire Steve Cooper.
1.) 19 Dec 2023 06:47:11
Heard that Fred, did okay with Wolves but was a flop with Spurs. Has experience in the Prem but is he any better than Cooper?
29 Aug 2023 16:26:56
Nuno Tavares loan deal with an option to buy. Could be completed in next 24 hours according to Fabrizio Romano.
1.) 29 Aug 2023 17:28:03
Surprised we haven't gone for Ndombele - serie a winner last year.
2.) 29 Aug 2023 22:23:51
Probably the fee and his wages?
3.) 30 Aug 2023 17:03:48
very true but could get him on a loan if spurs pay most of his wages? It sounds like we are going to be buisy this week though.
Tavares
Hudson Odoi
Murillo
Domingues
then Batshuayi, Ndid and this greek goalie waiting in the wings!
4.) 31 Aug 2023 01:14:43
Over the 24 hrs now.
5.) 01 Sep 2023 10:09:58
Your an impatient one Phil!
Only a day and a bit late.
27 Aug 2023 21:03:28
Looks like Wifred Ndidi may be next through the door.
Personal terms look to have been agreed.
1.) 27 Aug 2023 22:20:32
Not a bad shout fred.
2.) 28 Aug 2023 06:47:57
He’s been poor for Leicester for a couple of seasons but prior to that he was one of the best holding midfielders in the league. If he can rediscover that form he’ll be a very good signing. Think with more runners around him like Yates, Danilo, Santos he should do well. Good option along with Mangala for a defensive midfielder.
{Ed001's Note - he has had a succession of injury problems, which is why he lost form. It is keeping him fit and not playing him in the centre of defence (which Rodgers did quite a lot) that is the key to getting the most from him.}
3.) 28 Aug 2023 08:09:59
Munich are also after him on loan. Also Nigeria have already qualified for the African league of nations, so could be out for that if we sign him.

A second goal would have put that game to bed yesterday and for me we didn't show enough intent to get it in the first half.
Having taken an early lead we let Palace get on the front foot even though they rarely looked like scoring.
Whilst I can see the logic of starting Dominguez away to add some defensive solidity I cannot understand him starting over Hutchinson yesterday.
What dangerous Palace winger was Dominguez there to help Williams out with?
It also means Hudson Odoi starting on the right and even though he is right footed he seems to become anonymous when playing down that flank. Barely noticed him in the first half!
The gap may well be down to 3 points next weekend with the Hammers playing Burnley and us playing improving Leeds. Let's hope not.
1.) 02 Feb 2026 08:53:14
Well said Fred. HDO is useless down the right and Domingues has no pace at all. And that's the reason Jayzoos struggles to score prem goals his lack of pace stops him getting that extra yard to get on the end of things or get clear of his man. Probably the reason why we didn't get a 2nd goal in the first half.
Williams stupidity cost Dyche the luxury of being able to utilise players like Lucca. Players wearing gloves is so efimnate, and it's not natural to stick your hand up even on the goal line. Ban gloves and man up.
2.) 02 Feb 2026 11:24:03
Watched MOTD for their take on the game. I know pundits have inflated egos, but Troy Deeney seems to have a well, you know. wouldn't like to say.
3.) 02 Feb 2026 11:55:57
Clough, Sheringham, Wood had no pace.
Just say'n.
4.) 02 Feb 2026 13:17:37
Not a comparison I'm afraid Rogie.
5.) 02 Feb 2026 16:06:29
I think your falling back into your old argumentative self there rutters bud. What the diamond is only saying is you don't need great pace to be decent. Look at huddle, Platini, fabregas etc.
As long as they tie into dyches chess game (ok ok one at a time) it's what ya do. Now remember we don't get reports on training schedules, are they lazy etc. So good point rogie. ?.
6.) 02 Feb 2026 16:38:59
Hoddle damned pred text. ? threw a hooked worm in there for bites.
7.) 02 Feb 2026 17:43:14
Ah Bowie my point is those 3 were and are class acts, jayzoos works hard but with his Ltd ability needs a bit of pace to be threatening. Sheringham was superb even in tge air. I'm not just being argumentative I'm stating a valid point. Its tge same with Dan andoy. No pace leaves him wanting.
8.) 02 Feb 2026 20:01:33
Good honest debate lads. cheers Bowie.
Saw brilliant clip on U Tube.
Martin O'Neil said Cloughie said to him at half time one day.
"You were terrible!. the linesman is having a better game than you! "
?????.
9.) 02 Feb 2026 20:33:39
lol, that’s well funny put down - I’d not heard that one before ……he liked to give MON a bit didn’t he!
18 Oct 2025 14:54:38
How foolish do the Nuno out brigade feel now (yes you know who you are).
Got too greedy to soon wanting exciting football didn't you?
Nuno knew the limitations of his squad and played accordingly. Look what happens when you try and play differently with players that have no first touch and need 5 minutes on the ball to make a pass!
Let's get ready for the counter arguments, Nuno wanted out and the wheels had already started falling off lol.
He expressed concerns about the squad and some of the extortionate fees on the dross coming in. If all he was interested in was a pay off then he wouldn't have walked straight into another job.
He got us to 7th place and Europe even if results did fade toward the end of the season.
A good win against Brentford followed by a creditable draw against Palace.
1.) 18 Oct 2025 17:25:26
Very true red Fred.
Edu should of been the one sent packing!
2.) 18 Oct 2025 18:52:21
Not in the slightest bit foolish. Glad the muppet is gone.
Nuno wanted out so it was time to say goodbye. He was on a downward spiral (results wise) and used Edu as an excuse to run off with the proceeds of a fat contract. He had Marinakis pants down and good riddance for that.
Never keep a player who wants out. Never keep a coach who does either.
05 Oct 2025 17:36:32
Time to end this 3 at the back and we look better without a number 10 nonsense.
Get 2 wingers back out there and a number 10 pulling the strings. It's not like we don't have enough wingers on the books lol!
Marinakis obviously got carried away along with a lot of fans wanting "sexy football".
Well we ain't got the players to do it as most can't trap a bag of cement and are too slow in possesion.
What about Betis I hear some say? Well it was one half against a continental team that will let you do it but even they soon sussed it out.
1.) 05 Oct 2025 22:57:31
I agree with you Fred.
2.) 06 Oct 2025 07:53:03
I half agree, Fred. I think we look best with 4 at the back but 4:3:3 and no number 10.
If one of our number 10s was playing well, I'd probably be wrong. I'd try McAtee or MGW as a pivot of 2 number 8s in a 3-man midfield.
31 Aug 2025 20:52:20
Wonder if the Villa fans are shouting for Emery's head like some of our fickle fans are with Nuno?
"No change Nuno" is one thing but "no goals Nuno" is factually incorrect and name-calling for the sake of it ?.
Out of our last 41 league games we've failed to score in only 9!
1.) 31 Aug 2025 21:00:49
Fred your missing the point
Emery not said a word against his employer.
2.) 31 Aug 2025 21:04:34
Well said mate. the hysteria is off the scale on here!
We lost 5-0 at Bournemouth.
How did we do in our next game?
???.
3.) 31 Aug 2025 21:19:15
Your missing the point Downthepub.
Today's Nuno out rants are a knee jerk reaction to today's result.
You can see that surely? Otherwise there would have been multiple posts saying Nuno out for the last week snd a half!
4.) 31 Aug 2025 21:31:35
Fred I see that
Ill say this though
Was a bad day and deserved what we got
I prefer to keep nuno but not exactly helping himself?
5.) 31 Aug 2025 21:36:24
Rogie, Fred. I believe the "OUT" chants were more because of Nuno's rant.
The fact the team played really badly and the manager did not utilise his squad properly exasperated matters.
6.) 31 Aug 2025 22:11:21
Nono goals moniker is me taking the pee based on the joke-show pre-season of only scoring once in 8 games.
What kind of manager complains about needing a third senior keeper in public after that? It looks ridiculous, humiliates the owner.
IT hasn't looked good since the April Fool's day win against Man U. There's no glossing over it.
HOME GAMES
Played 7 | Won 1 | Drawn 1 | Lost 5
AWAY
Played | Won 2 | Drawn 2 | Lost 1
And pre-season we only scored once, wasn't it?
Is that good enough to qualify for Europe, or is it relegation form?
7.) 31 Aug 2025 22:30:45
But you still love sangare.
8.) 31 Aug 2025 22:40:31
Neither, it's mid table form.
We did qualify for Europe though didn't we despite cherry picking results from the end of a long hard season which also saw us reach a cup semi-final?
If Maricrackers decides it's time for Nuno to go then he'll go. Until then he gets my full support.
I'm in no position to tell him he has better game changing players on the bench when he sees them everyday in training.
I'm all for a good conspiracy theory but all this "Nuno's doing on purpose to get himself the sack bla bla bla" is utter dross ?.
9.) 31 Aug 2025 22:52:11
The quicker sangare leaves our club the better.
10.) 31 Aug 2025 23:42:24
I don't love Sangare. I don't think he's some terrible player like you do though. He's a decent number 6. The entire midfield were rubbish today, including Sangare. In fact, the whole team were, apart from the keeper. Trying to scapegoat one player after a crap performance like that is just ridiculous.
Gibbs White is our highest paid player and was responsible for us losing 2 points last week and created absolutely nothing today. But it isn't his fault alone either that we lost. It is the coach's job to change who is on the pitch if his tactics aren't working or people are playing badly. I'm afraid it's that simple.
11.) 01 Sep 2025 00:05:38
Here, here DTP.
12.) 01 Sep 2025 00:31:29
Picking the most recent games is not cherry-picking. It's showing we are on a bad run. And that form would have us in the bottom 5.
I don't think he's trying to get fired, either. Nuno just over-played his hand and isn't in as strong a position as he thinks. I'm bored of the football and only see it going one way unless we get on top 6 form, and very quickly.
I say that about form, but if a manager Marinakis and Edu want is available (one on Mendes books is out of work in the form of Maurinho) then they have been handed a golden opportunity to move on if they think Nuno can't take us to the next level.
I don't have a clue whether the rumours about looking at Postman, Maurinho and Rogers are true, but it would not surprise me one bit.
13.) 01 Sep 2025 04:57:51
Sangare plays the ball like a hot potato.
If this is his end result I'd relegate him to the bench and have Luiz in his place.
Hutchinson should of replaced Ndoye not Macatee.
14.) 01 Sep 2025 13:03:51
Like I've always said. we should of never bought sangare in the first place. also nuno had every right to complain he asked for players to be bought in early so he could get them up to scratch he asked for players who he needed in certain positions and looks like he got them last minute after complaining I see edu got his man that he also wanted at arsenal luiz. but it's not him managing the team it's nuno could you imagine what forest would of won under clough if he had a edu picking the players we would of won nothing simples we love nuno. nuno nuno.
04 May 2025 16:16:07
Looking at the fixtures we've probably done enough to finish no lower than 7th. One more win guarantees it though.
Given the way we have performed in the last few games anything else would be a bonus.
It would still represent a remarkable season but can we regroup, kick on and achieve even more?
1.) 04 May 2025 16:49:49
Thanks very much Mossy, thanks to your great info, getting our bearings now. met Sir Brian, really lovely place. the castle is great, the Forest shop is good too!
We had a drink in The Alchemist.
Bar lads were great Craic. the cocktails had some sort of smoke bellowing out!
So my wife says "It's my Husband's 60th tomorrow", so he looks at us and replies "Which one is it then?
(Bearing in mind my son is 23 my daughter's 25, and her boyfriend's 27!)
???
Brilliant Craic with them!
2.) 04 May 2025 16:58:41
If Liverpool get their finger out and score a couple, we should still have a decent chance!
3.) 04 May 2025 19:19:25
Wishing you a brilliant 60th Birthday Rogie! ? Enjoy your visit to Nottingham with your family and have a great time at your World Famous City Ground tour tomorrow. I’m so pleased for you that your lovely wife treated you to this. Enjoy my friend. ?⚪️⚽️.
4.) 04 May 2025 21:25:57
Thanks again mate!
28 Aug 2025 22:27:17
Yes played right side CB in a back 3 but looked better as a fullback apparently. Be a useful addition.
28 Aug 2025 19:45:03
Unusually tall for a fullback at 6'4"!
He's a big lad.
25 Jul 2025 17:37:10
He wasn't the only one.
They were all crap that night and Kouyate was worse than O'brien.
11 Jul 2025 13:38:00
Not sure how this works but according to Fabrizio Romano we are preparing a complaint for an illegal approach.
20 Aug 2024 13:18:44
Bang average.
Every player we sign seems to be in the £15m bracket ?.
29 Jan 2026 16:40:54
It certainly did Gazzi.
Actually delighted for him but he ain't turned into Ronaldo overnight ?.
29 Jan 2026 14:33:12
Never seen so much fuss over a goal lol.
He miscontrolled his second touch on the wing and the defender should have took it off him.
His shot took a nick of the defender and went between the keepers legs.
28 Jan 2026 18:19:24
Was just pointing out that MUNMAD at one time was relentless in saying we should get Mateta.
If we can afford him it's a no brainer. I'd even give them Bakwa and McAtee in exchange.
Highly unlikely we'll see him playing for us though.
28 Jan 2026 11:15:43
Has that one goal Awoniyi scored really changed your mind MUNMAD?
You were all over signing Mateta for weeks on end previously!
25 Jan 2026 17:27:53
Priceless 3 points but still loads of room for improvement.
Passing and ball retention were pathetic at times.
Brentford were all over our midfield and totally bossed that position.
Why don't we put at least one player on or beyond the back post from both our own and the oppositions corners? Most of our corners are overhit and sail straight out and the opposition often get chances at the back post from theirs.
