We do have an attacking WB on the books. Cuiabano's loan ends in January. Will they bring him back, bring in a keeper and a CB if the backup looks shaky?
There is apparently some interest from Saudi teams, which reminded me about him.
1.) 23 Sep 2026 21:08:19
I meant to say, aren't any of you curious to see him play in a Forest shirt before we sell him. Maybe it's just me?
2.) 25 Sep 2026 08:39:57
I've never seen him play either Cyclist. Not even in pre season I think. How old is he? One for the future perhaps. I dont know anything about him tbh.
21 Sep 2026 21:34:39
Look on the bright side, at least Glasner has three weeks with most of the squad not here.
He might get to know Yates and Sels better I suppose.
Jair off with Brazil but not Murillo? If that doesn't give him a kick up the rear end we should cash in in January.
16 Sep 2026 18:42:46
Manchester City have a buy-back clause for McAtee, "believed to be in the region of £65m".
If he has a Stella season, you can (ehem) expect to see him going back to City and there is nothing we can do to to stop him.
09 Sep 2026 14:45:41
RUMOURS:
We could still get Dodo on a free transfer. His contract with Fiorentina ends in 2027, so he can be signed for free in January.
We are still looking to buy Corinthians star youngster, midfielder Andre (age 189) who would be able to join in January.
Speaking of midfielders, "Nottingham Forest midfielder Ibrahim Sangare is being considered by Besiktas as an alternative to Rangers star Nicolas Raskin, who they failed to sign during the summer transfer window."
1.) 09 Sep 2026 15:31:41
Andre is even older than me then Cyclist ….
?
2.) 12 Sep 2026 19:03:06
Both players would enhance the team.
01 Sep 2026 23:52:59
Out/In

Ortega - ???? ?

A bit of positivity.
It looks possible that Tottenham, Aston Villa, Palace, probably Man U are all going to struggle this season. Everton have started well but have very little cover beyond their first team. Lots of the teams you might expect to see challenge for Europe may not be where they should. Evel Liverpool don't look that strong but will still finish in Europe I expect.
If we can keep it together, this season could be a big chance to finish top six.
1.) 17 Sep 2026 14:59:24
So long as Glasner and Mr Marinnakis can keep it civil, can only see a very positive finish to the season.
2.) 17 Sep 2026 15:39:42
Paddy power go's 5/2 big m will get a greek god before xmas.
16 Sep 2026 22:52:00
Plans approved to expand the Stadium to 52,000 capacity. They just have to approve a new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the Trent.
They want to start work end of season so mad rush to get that approved.
We might be in Europe on a building site if we have a good season.
1.) 17 Sep 2026 08:11:47
So forest complete the expansion but haven't sorted the new bridge. What does Mr M do next?
2.) 17 Sep 2026 11:16:19
That is great news, hopefully be done in time for me to get a ticket again ?
We don't need a new bridge over the Trent, we can get Jesus to carry us over - Jesus walks on the Trent remember!
Looking forward to the game on Saturday, Friday, Sunday, Monday ? whatever day Sky want it played! Let's get some momentum going, and keep it going!
COYR.

Re vamp the old suspension bridge and save a lot of money, no planning required.
4.) 17 Sep 2026 12:27:27
The footbridge looks like what they will accept (I mean the planning people).
5.) 17 Sep 2026 12:37:09
They want fans to use the park and ride, and will put on buses to ferry them in and out, the buses could drop fans off on the embankment in restricted as there will be no parking on match days. A quick walk over the suspension bridge and your at the ground in ten minutes, no brainier.
6.) 17 Sep 2026 15:19:04
ValeRed, I have worked on match days and parking can be a massive problem with a car of four people will park on the pavement even tactical restrictions and take the fine, buses taking supporters after the game could be a major problem with people pushing in, I really hope it works, they had problems at Everton when there new stadium opened but think they have been resolved, I still think sticking with West Bridgford is trying to fit a whole whale into a sardines tin?.
7.) 17 Sep 2026 16:41:31
I get what you're saying mossy and can't argue the case for moving. I've been over that new bridge off Trent lane a couple of times and the land on ladybay meadows would make for a fantastic ground and still have room for the training ground.
14 Sep 2026 22:02:56
Saying home points are vital. Only Man City, Arsenal and Leeds have won a home game this month in the Prem.
1.) 14 Sep 2026 22:11:10
And we are only 3 points behind third. All to play for.
The unlucky defeat to Leeds doesn't look anything like as bad when you look at the table now.
2.) 14 Sep 2026 22:22:57
Or tonight's result against Newcastle.
3.) 14 Sep 2026 23:10:54
Living the Marinakis Dream.
4.) 14 Sep 2026 23:11:48
Newcastle were appalling though,
5.) 15 Sep 2026 08:13:52
Yep, too many kids in the centre of the pitch, they basically folded last night. I would imagine that others have taken note, easily bullied with a soft centre. ?.
6.) 15 Sep 2026 08:50:35
What like Man U when they had Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes and won the title?
7.) 15 Sep 2026 09:04:15
Physically they were different players, Miley and the 17 year old Dutch lad are about as physically opposing as Julian Clary playing prop. Butt and Scholes had bite. ?.
8.) 15 Sep 2026 10:27:01
Speaking of bite, I'd like to see Yates on the pitch.
9.) 15 Sep 2026 13:48:52
Me too Cyclist but atm he is, imo, behind Schlager, Sanghere and possibly Dominquez in that holding midfielder position mate.
10.) 15 Sep 2026 15:29:42
another injury and you might see Yatesy in the team, in the back 3, he's rightly down the pecking order in the midfield area,
11.) 15 Sep 2026 17:34:27
Yes Stevie, OG has mentioned Yates as a possible cover at centre back. He's played there a few times including in pre season.
He's got all the attributes but has a tendency to give free kicks away and has a 50p shaped head.
12.) 15 Sep 2026 19:12:01
Stokey, yes mate,of all the things I really wouldn't like to see, this is one of those.
13.) 15 Sep 2026 19:28:50
Should of sold him. all he is now is a overpaid mascot.
14.) 15 Sep 2026 19:47:03
I think he played there in a Europa match and did very well. But it's a specialist position and you don't want free kicks given away near our box. Looked what happened when Malenkovic clattered the Leeds lad.
But he's a good option until Savona recovers.
15.) 15 Sep 2026 22:26:37
Skeggs, Yates may not be the most gifted technically but he has many other skills and attributes. Have you ever seen him play?
16.) 15 Sep 2026 22:36:32
No never seen him play ????.
17.) 16 Sep 2026 09:05:28
Thought not.
Yates is Forest through and through, a proper leader, articulate, hard working and an asset any boss would crave.
18.) 16 Sep 2026 10:32:22
He might be all that but he's not good enough to make first 11. so like I say expensive mascot.
19.) 16 Sep 2026 12:03:51
Yates is a a good Premiership player, He may well get his chance and will slot in seamlessly. Unlike any mascot I've ever seen.
I've seen him play many many times and can vouch for his quality and attributes.
A good professional who sets the standards. That's why he's a captain As I said, any Premiership manager would be pleased to have him.
I'm just glad you aren't in charge of recruitment and selection Skeggs.
20.) 16 Sep 2026 18:34:57
Skeggy, worryingly i seem to find myself agreeing with most of your posts these days, however you are wrong about Yates, every club needs a Yates and we have the original ??.
09 Sep 2026 21:05:42
A post about football not each other coming up (I know, some of you aren't interested in silly old footy).
Chelsea are losing to Leeds.
1.) 09 Sep 2026 22:58:58
Wow! Didn't watch the second half, unfortunately. It was Chelsea 0-2 Leeds at half time and I checked out. ?
2.) 10 Sep 2026 05:13:05
A fixture like this takes me back to where I first got into Football. Every team had a Chopper Harris or Norman "bite your legs" character. There was at least one player in a team who had three front teeth missing. The sports scientist was a bloke in baggy shorts running on the pitch with a galvanised bucket with cold water and sponge! And the only player who wore gloves was the goalie! Good old days. I wonder. ?
3.) 10 Sep 2026 07:46:30
So Alonso sussed Leeds out in the second half then, 6 goals scored with just one reply. Forest should have done Leeds the same way, but the results stand as they are.
Ndoye wanted by Man United now, so what do they see in him? Maybe the lad just doesn't want to be at Forest now!!!
4.) 10 Sep 2026 10:07:57
Chelsea look awesome going forward, Rogers, Palmer, Neto and Pedro are a delight to watch. ?
5.) 10 Sep 2026 17:20:41
Really, Redtrree.
Tell him I will drive him there.

Netz doesn't get the start, I feel he's earned. Apart from that, happy with the team.
2.) 05 Sep 2026 14:20:52
No Diamonde.
3.) 05 Sep 2026 14:27:32
I'm happy with that team too.
COYRS!!!!
23 Sep 2026 21:08:19
I meant to say, aren't any of you curious to see him play in a Forest shirt before we sell him. Maybe it's just me?
21 Sep 2026 21:43:11
Rumours?
Spurs are after MGW but couldn't be bothered to post it. We all already knew that a year ago.
03 Sep 2026 16:45:45
I don't think the team is weaker. I also think they were trying to sign a MF from the beginning of the window, and the failure was to sign who they wanted at a realistic price. They obviously wanted Bergvall or Fofana.
The first team looks stronger. It's the holes in the squad, in terms of backup, that are the bigger worry.
First choice, we are stronger or the same in every position apart from Anderson's.
03 Sep 2026 14:25:23
They (Marinakis and/or Glasner) have definitely taken a risk. If we get a couple of MF injuries or Sels gets injured, I agree that they are going to look pretty silly.
03 Sep 2026 13:08:50
@Ed001 Glasner had the final say on transfers. Maybe he had other targets and didn't want anyone from Olympiacos?
It feels like Forest went for mostly under-22 midfielders once they decided they weren't willing to pay £60M for Bergvall and a couple of others. It could come back to bite Glasner on the arse, if Forest are too weak in MF. I'm not convinced blaming Marinakis on that one is correct.
{Ed001's Note - Marinakis has the final say on everything. Not Glasner, Marinakis.}
24 Sep 2026 13:38:09
Prem Club Revenue
Broadcasting: 42% – 45%
Commercial: 40% – 43%
Matchday: 15% – 18%
So less than 20%. That's why it isn't the priority. Looks like the TV companies get most of the say.
23 Sep 2026 14:44:20
The noise is irritating. I didn't mind when it was only a few days.
23 Sep 2026 11:09:12
Goose fair? Have to cycle through it to get my son to school. What a row for however stupid long it lasts now. Another rip off.
21 Sep 2026 21:45:01
Xavi is who we should sign. He knows how to handle big egos.
17 Sep 2026 22:19:00
And Jack Russels or Yorkshire Terriers that think they can stop a 13stone bloke going 20mph. ?.
