Frattesi incoming.
1.) 31 Jan 2026 12:19:51
Great signing if we pull it off.
2.) 01 Feb 2026 22:49:27
So was luiz?
Its how they fit that matters?
3.) 02 Feb 2026 21:05:24
Liverpool screwed up the deal. A bit annoying.
19 Jan 2026 02:23:59
RUMOUR:
Forest have agreed a deal in principle to sign Lorenzo Lucca from Napoli. Apparently it is a loan with option to buy deal.
He has doubts and other Italian clubs are interested.
1.) 19 Jan 2026 07:11:04
If he asks Silenzi, any douths will be settled ?.
2.) 19 Jan 2026 10:24:51
There’s been a ‘breakthrough in last few hours’. According to Radio Marte, the player is open to moving to the City Ground in January.
Therefore, Dyche’s side have accelerated their efforts to finalise the deal for the attacker on loan with an option to buy set at €35m. If there are no last-minute setbacks, Lucca will play in the Premier League.
3.) 19 Jan 2026 10:25:29
Rai Sport journalist and Napoli expert Ciro Venerato also reports the player would be on his way to the English club, related by Area Napoli.
He says the Italian is ‘ready to say yes’ to Nottingham Forest, after rejecting Benfica, Pisa and a move to Saudi Arabia.
4.) 19 Jan 2026 13:26:49
It looks like my prediction (below) on the 5th January was bang on. Mystic Cyclist ?
Educated guess if I'm honest. He was struggling for game time and Napoli wanted to offload him. Dyche likes a big boy and Lucca is a giant.
5.) 19 Jan 2026 18:15:19
A goal every fourth game in senior football, thanks but no thanks.
CARLO.
6.) 19 Jan 2026 21:18:12
News now anyone can read cyclist, they get more wrong than right though.
7.) 20 Jan 2026 00:55:15
Yes it's news now. I didn't predict it now. Are you sure you can read? ?.
8.) 20 Jan 2026 08:30:38
DTP mate, this is the "rumours" section, Cyclist is using its function correctly, are you? ?.
9.) 20 Jan 2026 11:18:40
Not sure if it's a tactic to get a better deal by Lucca, but it seems he will only leave Italy kicking and screaming, we need someone up to speed straight away, not someone mopping around the training centre missing home.
10.) 20 Jan 2026 13:10:55
Reading an article on my lunch break from the Corriere dello Sport, Luca doesn't speak a word of English and it could be an issue regarding his final decision. ?.
11.) 20 Jan 2026 16:08:14
Boly came back from Afcon injured so can't see the transfer to west ham what was being considered, Boly could be useful as interpreter for Lucca, if he comes?.
12.) 20 Jan 2026 22:28:24
Lucca looks like the big barstool we need for Dyche's long ball 80s footy, but if he has his doubts then is it worth it?
The recruitment team have tried. Give him a date to make his mind up by and get negotiating with other players/ agents.
13.) 21 Jan 2026 11:52:57
Cyclist “Dyches long ball 80’s football”? Not again, thought I’d put that to bed, where I’m off to now ????????.
14.) 21 Jan 2026 13:42:07
Dinobot. Get out of relegation, hoof it up and hope. Get a giant up front and whack it to him. Any Sunday league boss could do that. You just need a fitness coach and a dead ball coach and let my Mum do the tactics. ??.
15.) 21 Jan 2026 18:07:28
Do you actually watch any Reds games Cyclist?
Or you just believe the propaganda? Genuine question mate …….
16.) 22 Jan 2026 16:39:54
@Stokey ? Landed a catch. ?
It looks like the Lucca deal is over the line (s'cuse the pun).
Ornstein and other sources are saying it will probably be conformed tomorrow. Loan fee of £1M.
Stokey will be pleased. We have a big lump up front for his favourite tactical genius mans approach. We can wack the ball in the genral direction of the box and hope we score. It worked for Wimbledon so. ?.

RUMOUR: Glasner to leave palace this summer and on the shortlist to replace Dyche at Forest.
1.) 17 Jan 2026 05:36:41
This was all set up until Mendes interfered, and his client Nuno was employed, turned out alright, but wonder what could have been with Glasner?.
2.) 17 Jan 2026 11:50:40
Cyclist, in a recent post to Ed 1 I did predict that Palace would be dragged into the relegation scrap if they lost more key players ( like Eze) and I mentioned Wharton and Guehi by name. The fact that Glasner, an excellent manager, has now stated he is off in the summer is an additional bonus for us.
However, I think he would rather nail his own gonads to a wooden fence than work for an “erratic” owner like ours. Besides which, there will be no vacancy to fill……. ?? ?.
3.) 17 Jan 2026 13:38:19
I’ll be amazed if Dyche is still manager in August, I don’t think he fits marinakis ambitions for the club, whether you believe them realistic or not, I think he is a stop gap, nothing more, glasner Will almost certainly have bigger opportunities than here though.
13 Jan 2026 10:45:44
RUMOUR:
Nottingham Forest identify Mehdi Taremi as number one target
According to The Athletic, the Reds are eyeing one of four new striker targets with a varying degree of quality, and now the number one target has emerged.
It’s believed that Taremi is the number one striker target for this month, with the 33-year-old currently playing for Evangelos Marinakis’ other club, Olympiacos.
1.) 13 Jan 2026 12:27:46
This one looks a realistic acquisition, as a footballer he looks like he could do the business, just hope he doesn't use Nottingham Forest to spout his politics seeing as he's a close friend of the Iranian President!
2.) 13 Jan 2026 15:32:41
You would have thought we'd show a little more ambition than someone that's probably 2 years from retirement as our main target, oh hang yeah we signed a young French center forward for big bucks. Crazy transfer policy imo. ?.
3.) 13 Jan 2026 16:29:59
Kalimuendo scored a very good goal against Utrecht then promptly gets dropped for the next game!, unless Kalimuendo wanted away can not understand it, so now Taremi is the emergency forwards we are forced to look at and hope they can salvage the season.
4.) 13 Jan 2026 16:37:51
Mossy
I’ll be really miffed if Trump bombs the WFCG just to get at our centre forward mate! ??.
5.) 13 Jan 2026 17:36:33
Red Robin, mate, Chris “Plankov” Wood scored 20 plus goals for us last season aged 33? If this lad is half as good it’s a plus, ambitious or not surely?
6.) 13 Jan 2026 18:33:46
Stokey if he comes, Taremi has plenty of opinions he's never apologized for expressing, and Trump needs all the oil tankers Mr Marinakis has for Venules oil, so the City Grounds safe ?.
7.) 13 Jan 2026 19:03:15
Mossy, many thanks for your reassurance mate! ???He sounds a rarity, a footballer with opinions and a bit of character?
8.) 13 Jan 2026 19:03:52
Stokey do you know anything about Taremi? Honestly he's not exactly a world beater, modest goal scoring record and only moved to decent clubs recently in his career (porto and inter). Wood had bagged goals in the Premier league prior to last seasons efforts so already knew the league, the culture, the style and is a naturalised English speaker.
Just find it all extremely underwhelming, the Wolves lad is available, just go and get him if that's the style of forward Dyche wants. At least looking at the size of the forwards we're being linked with Dyche should be slightly happier, all massive and they fit his cretaceous style. ??.
9.) 13 Jan 2026 19:47:39
Take no notice of these rumours
None of it ever happens
Same sources same outcome
NOTHING.
10.) 13 Jan 2026 20:55:05
DTP if we all took no notice would there be any point in the rumours section? Rumours involving transfers is entertaining and we all love it. (apart from you of course telling us what to do once again, DTPs neighbourhood watch). ?.
11.) 13 Jan 2026 21:02:56
Red Robin, no mate I don’t know anything about Taremi. I know much more about Strand Larson having seen him play a few times. I think he might do a job for us but I’m only guessing here. Who knows what Edu and the recruitment team have lined up as Woody replacement. But SD will have told them what he wants.
12.) 13 Jan 2026 21:27:23
Yeah but i doubt we could get a kit big enough to fit a diplodocus. ??.
13.) 13 Jan 2026 21:40:29
Just saying winter
They get nothing right
Carlisle now a Argentina striker that won't happen.
14.) 13 Jan 2026 22:24:09
We can get better than Larsen in the summer for less money than Larsen. Like with the manager, they are looking for a stop gap I hope. Why buy Dyche players, he's toast this summer?
15.) 13 Jan 2026 22:44:25
We won't buy dyche players.
16.) 14 Jan 2026 08:59:51
???.
17.) 14 Jan 2026 09:13:08
The Argentinian striker is Santiago Castro, get him and Taremi, might make Stokeys prediction for the City Ground more worrying ?.
11 Jan 2026 15:20:47
RUMOUR:
“Nottingham Forest close to Youssef En-Nesyri signing: According to NTV Sport, Forest have had a bid accepted for the Morocco striker, although there are still some details to finalise before he can move to the Reds. ”
Linked with West Ham in just about all of the past five transfer windows, the prospect of Sevilla’s former striker from European Conference League days landing at our relegation rivals would hardly be welcome news.
1.) 11 Jan 2026 16:45:17
If Edu has anything to do with it he’s probably got one leg to stand on, no pace and a bad attitude to training.
2.) 11 Jan 2026 22:42:40
Since Mourinho got sacked at Fenerbahce En - Nesyri has lost his place to the ex- Villa player who went to Saudi, Duran. If he comes here very risky purchase.
3.) 12 Jan 2026 00:02:41
Risky but possibly a master stroke, En-Nesyri is a tall, powerful striker. Often praised for his heading abilities. Being quick he's great on the counter. Apparently his movement in the box is outstanding. If we can get a tune out of him maybe, just maybe cretaceous ball might work with someone like him leading the line. ?.
4.) 12 Jan 2026 20:20:04
I don't think this deal will ever happen
Every rumour that comes out of turkey has never turned into a signing since we got promoted.

02 Feb 2026 23:00:10
Well, in theory we have:
LB: Caiubano, Netz and Williams
RB: Savona, Aina, da Siva Moreira
I bet Nuno is wondering why we couldn't do that when he was here.
1.) 03 Feb 2026 08:32:48
Cauibana is off to Brazil again and unless we have loads of injuries can't see us playing da Silva, Abbot will be before him and in Midfield Mcatee will have step up when he gets the chance.
2.) 03 Feb 2026 10:26:14
Cuiabana off back to S. America, and he's not played for U21s. He's not here and never was. Textorised.
31 Jan 2026 05:19:02
Europa League draw:
Forest must get past Fenerbahce, who are second in Turkey’s Super Liga. The ties will be played on 19/ 26 February.
Should Forest win, they will play Real Betis or Midtjylland, who won at the City Ground four months ago, in the last 16.
Tough draw. We can do it.
1.) 31 Jan 2026 10:26:41
This is where the full squad will prove it's worth, can't see the bench having any Academy players unfortunately when we play Fernabaches.
2.) 31 Jan 2026 12:22:26
I was surprised Dyche didn't bring any of the young uns on at 3-0 on Thursday. I would have given 3 of them 20 minutes at least.
26 Jan 2026 09:47:54
OK, looks like we don't need a new striker now. ?
More money down the toilet. Taiwo was the solution all along. ?.
22 Jan 2026 23:16:29
Yes we do OK against top 6 sides. But has it sunk in yet? The manager coach is not actually that good.
I guess we could stick and hope we stay in the Prem. Or we could risk going down but give a new boss time to bed in his tactics and learn the players and hopefully stay up.
How ambitious or risk-averse is the owner? We are going to find out soon.
12 Jan 2026 02:39:43
Carrick in line to be Man U interim coach. Snap him up for Forest while it's still possible.
1.) 12 Jan 2026 06:58:21
I think man Utd are missing a golden opportunity here, why don't they have Carrick and Solskjaer as a management partnership instead of one person in charge, could take some pressure of running that club!.
03 Feb 2026 11:22:03
So we have 4 senior keepers now then. I'm guessing either Victor John (or is it John Voctor? ) or Sels are out for the rest of the season?
02 Feb 2026 21:05:24
Liverpool screwed up the deal. A bit annoying.
26 Jan 2026 09:55:47
I reckon the owner has been taking a bit of a break since his Mum died. By the end of season, he'll be back holding the reigns.
22 Jan 2026 16:39:54
@Stokey ? Landed a catch. ?
It looks like the Lucca deal is over the line (s'cuse the pun).
Ornstein and other sources are saying it will probably be conformed tomorrow. Loan fee of £1M.

Dinobot. Get out of relegation, hoof it up and hope. Get a giant up front and whack it to him. Any Sunday league boss could do that. You just need a fitness coach and a dead ball coach and let my Mum do the tactics. ??.
02 Feb 2026 22:57:06
". In the end, we always win! "
So we are going to win the Europa League and should be recruiting Champion's League level players for next season's shot at the big one. Not signing a load of journeymen is a good thing. ?.
02 Feb 2026 22:55:16
As soon as we get a decent manager, Bakwa will be on Fire.
31 Jan 2026 00:12:23
Jesus, Caibano and Jair Cuhna were a "dodgy" deal between Marinakis and John Textor. Their signings were not organised by Edu. So was keeping MGW.
keeping Boly was part of the Marinakis deal with Nuno. Nuno's joke of a contract that cost us a fortune was also negotiated by Marinakis.
Edu was the driving force behind signing Luiz and Hutchinson according to agent talk and papers. Kalimuendo cost us nothing really if Frankfurt are taking over his fee and contract.
Th esort of thing I'd criticise Edu for is appointing a manager who plays a system that doesn't suit KAalimuendo, McAttee and Luiz. Why spend millions on them then get a manager who boots it over their heads (literally)
26 Jan 2026 23:39:48
If someone buys us a season ticket, me and my sone will be back. GOt priorities at the minute though, like going on holiday after his Mum's died.
26 Jan 2026 09:51:30
We were poor. Look at the expected goals stats. We needed the three points, but it was a lucky hit-and-run, thank God.
No glossing over the truth though. We didn't look good enough.
