Arumour going round is that Liverpool want Forest target, Omar Marmoush.
Marmoush has 9 goals and 6 assists in the Bundesliga this season. Can we still land him in the summer window with the promise of first team football?
1.) 15 Oct 2024 22:37:53
If the scousers go in for him then he'll go there. They can offer him more money than we can.
2.) 12 Nov 2024 17:58:33
Thing is he's got to lot better chance of playing of showing himself off at the city ground.

Rumour in Sport Witness: "The private plane to take Giménez to the UK is waiting at Rotterdam Airport. He should soon travel to England to carry out the transfer formalities with Nottingham Forest.
Santiago Giménez is thought to be happy with the deal. "

Hammers News website: "West Ham are reportedly ‘closing on two signings’ but James Ward-Prowse could join Nottingham Forest before deadline. "
26 Aug 2024 14:00:08
According to transfer expert Pete O’Rourke, the Reds are now keen to sign West Ham star James Ward-Prowse.
Another rumour to throw into the mix.
1.) 26 Aug 2024 18:33:12
Not sure we need another CM but with Danilo out for a long while maybe a loan til Jan be useful.

Ludicrous rumour: Confusion over whether player is signing for Nottingham Forest or Olympiacos in €15m deal
Apparently Carago has either signed for Forest or Olympiacos. Unreal.
1.) 24 Aug 2024 12:17:29
Who is Carago?
2.) 24 Aug 2024 12:37:32
Another multi club player we have or don't have or may have oh I don't know who knows. Who'd be a Forest fan.
3.) 24 Aug 2024 14:20:52
David Carmo?
4.) 24 Aug 2024 16:14:08
Carmo yes. One report says Olympiacos and the other says Forest signed him. How many clubs can you own before it get confusing even for the journalists?
5.) 24 Aug 2024 19:05:27
That might be the whole point. Confuse as many as possible then you can do things without them even noticing. Because they're so preoccupied with the initial confusion they won't be aware of your other actions. Muddy the waters. Smoke n mirrors. Confuse the masses. Devious buggers.
6.) 24 Aug 2024 20:35:43
Maybe both carmo and the new Zealand lad are really rated by forest but the club want to see them play games under the microscope?
And get some playing time?
Mr m is a olympiacos fan at the end of the day, but he knows forest and the premier is a bigger fish.

Chelsea do this stuff all the time. Half the players in Europe are on their books and their feeder teams pay most of the wages in loan deals.
20 Aug 2024 11:35:48
Runour: Matt Targett is a target.
Targett from Newcastle is a loan target for the left back slot. Apparently the Geordies paid £15M (in 2022) for him but he had injury problems last season.
Does anyone know whether he is a good player?
1.) 20 Aug 2024 12:19:30
I can't remember much of him because he's hardly played much over the last couple of seasons. A Geordie friend has said he's always been reliable when he has played. Apparently, he got Player of the Season at Villa one season.
2.) 20 Aug 2024 13:18:44
Bang average.
Every player we sign seems to be in the £15m bracket ?.
3.) 20 Aug 2024 15:00:58
Injury problems? Hmmm.
4.) 21 Aug 2024 18:19:34
Morena signing on loan, much better option.

Anyone else feel sorry for Sels? He's playing well and people were talking about Brice Samba turning up to watch.
Dead pleased for Woody as well. If a few players could chip in with a few more, we should do well. We are over reliant on him for goals and the defence being watertight.
Missed the game (family sickness) so having to prioritise my son etc. I'll try to catch up with highlights.
The other player I feel sorry for is Jota for obvious reasons.
Next up, banana skin central. We "should" win, but anything can happen in a cauldron game like this. At least the officials always work in our favour. ?.
1.) 24 Oct 2024 10:03:59
To someone somewhere that means we're signing Samba in January.
2.) 24 Oct 2024 13:43:51
We’re going to need more than one goal to win tomorrow. We created enough chances on Monday to win comfortably but couldn’t finish. And if it wasn’t for Sels we would have been beaten.
3.) 24 Oct 2024 13:52:51
1 goal more than them ???.
4.) 24 Oct 2024 13:55:31
I’ll always have great respect for Samba but he could be hot headed and unpredictable at times, with a mistake in him. Sels is a much better keeper imo, more consistent and he’s steady under pressure unlike Brice. He seems to impart a sense of calmness to his defenders. It may of course be that Sels has better defenders around him but he was my MOM on Monday.
5.) 24 Oct 2024 15:06:03
I don't feel sorry for Sels cyclist because he's a top keeper and different level to Samba. It was you who said you wanted Sels Wood and Nuno replaced. Many of us have been happy with them all season. Hence 8th in the league ?.
6.) 25 Oct 2024 17:50:09
I definitely did not say I wanted Woods replacing. Almost everyone on here wanted us to bring in another striker, and most still do, we only have two senior strikers.
Practically everyone on here wanted us to bring in a new keeper in the summer, although I think most of us wanted them to ship out some of the other rubbish keepers we seemed to be collecting, don't think Sels was top of that list.
Nuno is rubbish, I definitely said that. It's true.
10 Oct 2024 07:53:37
An article from The Athletic claims that Espirito Santo has now insisted that the B-Team utilises the same tactical system that he does. That was evident in the EFL Trophy as the low-block Reds lost to the mighty Morecambe.
Well, we might as well bore the players if they aren't going to win. ?
Seriously, though, I don't think this is anything new. I think Warburton and Pearce already did this. It makes sense if you plan on using the same system all the time, but doesn't really teach flexibility.
1.) 10 Oct 2024 11:11:46

Lucky enough my Mrs not bothered about football so I watch it in peace but if some reason she wanted to watch it I'd be going out as well have enough with women commentators now without a woman next to me asking questions on the game.
7.) 10 Oct 2024 20:34:19
The claims of the Athletic are a rumour about Nottingham Forest, Fred. let's think, what is the name of this site? Is it "Things we believe in the media about Forest? " Or is it "NottinghamForestRumours? " ?.
8.) 10 Oct 2024 22:21:29
In your case it should be named "let's have a dig at Nuno at every opportunity to try and detract from the fact that I got it wrong about him" ?. Or "we should never have got rid of Cooper even though he was taking us down".
9.) 11 Oct 2024 10:59:17
Are you saying it's ridiculous to have a go at the manager every day? Really? Is it ridiculous to go on about low-block tactics? Is it really ridiculous? Is there something that should bother us about someone doing that?
Answers on a postcard to: I got it wrong obout Cooper incorporated, Forest RUMOURS, Skeg Vegas.
10.) 11 Oct 2024 12:16:36
, ??? you are getting boring cyclist you forgot to mention in the article your talking about they also said he was doing a great job and many fans are asking for nuno to get a new contract we know you only like to put the bad bits about nuno but I'm guessing everyone can see how silly you are looking at the minute pop onto the fester site and ask there fans if I'm wrong about cooper ??.
11.) 11 Oct 2024 20:34:06
I'm getting boring? Only a couple of seasons after you did kiddo!
I thought you didn't like low block managers? Or are you just full of bovine excreta? Let me know.
Drink your own medicine sunbeam.
09 Oct 2024 08:04:26
Talk about Chelsea sour grapes. ?
Not everyone watching will have been particularly big fans of the way Forest played, with their low block proving a real challenge for Enzo Maresca’s men to break down.
Andy Jacobs from TalkSport: “It was so boring, one of the match reports said Forest were experts at game management – or cheating as I call it. The time-wasting, Sels at one point went down injured, I mean we can all see there’s nothing wrong with him.
The referee should have added on at least 25 minutes, but that’s the way it goes. Chelsea have played Nuno teams nine times now and won twice. He plays this terrible, spoiling football and if I had to watch that football every week I don’t think I’d bother. ”
??.
1.) 09 Oct 2024 10:54:24
Sels returns to City Ground with a injury, could be from Sunday, hope Jacobs apologises!.
2.) 09 Oct 2024 11:07:52
, ??? you need better bait than that cyclist would you like the skeg mafia to help you?.
3.) 09 Oct 2024 14:58:45
I heard that on Talksport. I'd say be more embarrassed to play in front of thousands of tourists n no atmosphere. Just sour grapes from him as per.
4.) 09 Oct 2024 16:04:39
Jacob’s is obviously crackers ……??.
5.) 09 Oct 2024 21:11:18
Cracking joke Stokey!
No idea what you mean Skegs. ?
Chelsea have been killing games playing dirty for years. Bunch of vvankers!
6.) 10 Oct 2024 09:40:58
Some of the jokes on here really take the biscuit!
29 Sep 2024 09:32:12
Couple of quotes.
Are we doing so well? Forest, "group is deemed to be worth €350.5 million (£292m) - not far below the valuation of the likes of European heavyweights Juventus (€498.7m) and AC Milan (€513m). La Liga giants Real Madrid are said to have the most valuable squad, put at €1.061 billion (£833m). "
OK, so the squad is good enough then? Good to hear.
However, Forest are "only averaging 40.2% possession - the third lowest in the division, and averaging 77.7% pass accuracy - the third worst in the division. "
So good squad, not doing so well in. The dynamic, passing side who keep possession better than they did is a fantasy so far. We are relegation level on those stats in spite of having the 25th most valuable squad in Europe.
My take is if Wood's form drops, or he gets injured, we are screwed.
In the absence of a Number 10, the team look lost and devoid of creativity. It's OK thinking I'll change the formation, but the team don't know how to play without a number 10.
Selection: Playing Anderson out wide and preferring to rearrange the entire team to avoid starting with Jota at number 10 is about the dumbest decision Nuno could have made. If Nuno doesn't work out how to win games, then step aside and replace him with a winner.
Why sign players if Nuno doesn't have the confidence to play them, even when MGW is injured and we need a number 10.
Not impressed. Nuno isn't doing a terrible job, but he isn't good enough on the evidence I've seen to take us to the next level. Hope he proves me wrong.
Pick a number 10 for the next game, or Marinakis trigger finger will twitch.
1.) 29 Sep 2024 09:48:37
Red cyclist marinakis won’t hang around for an extended bad run, the trigger finger will be twitching on a couple more bad results, I want nuno to be a success and prove me wrong, but he makes some strange decisions.
2.) 29 Sep 2024 09:54:23
That's a brilliant summary cyclist.
3.) 29 Sep 2024 09:55:38
Going into yesterday's game we had the third best defensive record so Nuno has definitely improved us on that front!
Also look more solid at defending set pieces so another tick in the box.
Really don't get the doom and gloom ?.
4.) 29 Sep 2024 10:01:19
Good post cyclist.
I don't know about the squad value being accurate but your assessment of Nuno doing something really dumb yesterday is spot on.
That team was never going to play attacking football. No one on here would have picked anything like that team. I sat there shaking my head thinking he's taken a big step towards being sacked.
5.) 29 Sep 2024 10:13:58
I've had to wait 4 weeks for a home game and was looking forward to it and nuno comes up with that team and performance
Gutted.
6.) 29 Sep 2024 11:12:09
I agree that we are defending set-pieces better. I'd also say that is down to recruitment of Milenkovic and Moreno as much as anything.
Another observation is that we'd possibly be able to defend high balls even better with the Giant in goal. He might have saved the penalty yesterday as well? Tough call as we haven't seen a lot of him so far.
7.) 29 Sep 2024 16:54:07
Yes, nothing at all to do with Nuno's coaching. Purely down to the recruitment team ?.
8.) 29 Sep 2024 17:08:13
Fred if nunos coaching is responsible for the improvement. What was he messing about at the last half of last season? Obviously the Serb has made a difference,
9.) 29 Sep 2024 17:33:03
He's had a full pre-season with them Stevie. That's as obvious as the nose on your face mate. For someone who keeps stating you have said you don't want him out you sure don't act like it!
Like I said below some have it in for him and can't wait to dive in ad something goes wrong. Classic example 3 posts above. Nuno's fault when things go wrong and he's a clown, something we've dramatically improved on not conceding as many and not looking suspect at set pieces and it's the recruitment team and not Nuno that get the credit.
Come on mate you need to be blind to not see the agenda here.
10.) 29 Sep 2024 18:31:35
Fred I’ve never said he’s a clown, I’ve never said I wanted him out, I just want him to prove me wrong, his team selections get more bizarre every week,
11.) 29 Sep 2024 18:42:23
There is no agenda you just struggle with the facts that are put before you.
12.) 29 Sep 2024 18:52:50
Didn't mean you saying he's a clown Stevie.
It's the ones with the agenda, you know the ones who will never give him credit.
He messed up big time yesterday but Jeeze anyone would think we'd just been relegated after some of the comments on here this weekend ?.
13.) 29 Sep 2024 23:21:39
He can't afford to mess up though Fred especially at home
Glad you said that by the way.
14.) 30 Sep 2024 10:52:08
Nuno has not had a full pre-season with Milenkovic and Moreno, but they have made the difference at set -pieces. Perhaps half the defence not working Nuno for long are better options than ones who have. Think about it. ?.
15.) 30 Sep 2024 10:52:58
Nuno is a clown. What kind of muppet would move Anderson out wide and play with no number 10? None of us would, that is for sure.
08 Sep 2024 19:26:51

Not bad really. I thought we would be left with more dead wood. I don't want to see anymore Arters at our club ?.
3.) 09 Sep 2024 18:05:18
That was the club's fault, balloons. They gave him a 4 year contract with a massive pay rise if we got promoted. He signed it.

I think before the recent sponsorship deal with Floki, we didn't have enough money. We may have enough now.
24 Jul 2024 12:41:44
Some agent reported that Forest and Ipswich are talking to Iheanacho's agents.
A lot on here are saying he's no good, possibly because he didn't have a good season last year. The only point I'd make on that is that his scoring and assists record in the Prem is better than any player on Forest's books.
05 Dec 2024 00:17:18
If we beat United I'll forgive em for that performance!
05 Dec 2024 00:16:43
Agree MUNMAD with all of the above.
05 Dec 2024 00:06:27
Yeah Fred, I mixed up my fluke Nuno wins. (JOKING). Good to be back, thanks for the welcome.
I've had a lot on so just not had a lot of time. Helping care for cancer patient, my son, new GF etc. Hands full. Hopefully will get more free time like tonight, but things could change quickly on the caring front, sadly.
You don't think this squad is stronger? Really? And the players Cooper bedded in didn't improve, benefitting Forest/ Nuno this season? I don't even believe you. ??.
04 Dec 2024 23:18:43
I was under the impression that we were pretty damned awful in 3 of the last 4 games and scrapped out a tough win in the other one?
04 Dec 2024 23:17:31
I said the same thing in live chat, that Cooper would probably have started similarly (although Coops might have gone 3 at the back). So whoever complained about the low block should be moaning now. Just saying.
Nuno is bang average living off Coopers hard work with the players still here but with additional better players. It's that simple, and I haven't seen any reason to change my mind. Ohh, but Nuno beat Liverpool. So did Cooper. Nuno beat Chelsea. erm. didn't Cooper. With worse players? Just saying.
Tonight was a free hit, really. Why can't we just have a go? Fear of the sack, most likely. That's modern footy for you.
As for comments elsewhere about Jota. He is good enough, but he probably needs a different coach. There's a player there. This coach seems to work well with really experienced players best. Sels, Woods, Milenkovic, Aina etc. The trouble is we are starting to buy younger players to develop them.
But that's just an opinion. Hope I turn out to be wrong.
