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.

“Centre back travelling tonight to sign five-year deal. ”
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.

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.
05 Jul 2024 14:33:04
This is one of those rumours that won't go away. We are in for free agent forward Kelechi Iheanacho.
Iheanacho has scored 42 goals and provided 25 assists across 196 English Premier League games for Leicester City and Manchester City, averaging a goal contribution every hundred and seventeen minutes.
1.) 06 Jul 2024 10:18:38
And Che Adams being mentioned again he's a free agent now.
2.) 06 Jul 2024 22:24:20
Both I'd rather swerve but the will only be signed as squad players and for nothing other than wage demands.
3.) 12 Jul 2024 16:10:28
I don't think either quite good enough. We spend £30m+ on a DCM player but need to looking to spend big for a goalscorer who can come in and make the no 9 shirt his own if necessary ie Awoniyi and Wood injured as might well happen.
4.) 14 Jul 2024 23:47:34
30 million doesn5 buy that striker though
Jackson at Chelsea says it all
Kevin Campbell back in the day was a sickness for two seasons, but then did the business rest his soul
Players get injured and some find it hard to shrug off
Strikers are the most expensive commodity, so 30 million is not going to get you alot, unless you pay that for a very young player and it pays off.

Korean forward Hwang Ui-jo has rejoined Turkish team Alanyaspor on a 1 year deal. transfer fee not disclosed.
1.) 08 Sep 2024 22:07:43
Just leaves Dennis and job done with fringe players.
2.) 09 Sep 2024 06:36:41
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.
27 Aug 2024 17:29:00
Mangala set for an Everton loan! Hilarious.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 17:52:21
???????.
Really?
2.) 27 Aug 2024 18:23:28
According to getfootballnewsfrance, yes he is.
27 Aug 2024 00:56:15
Ignore the newspaper carp. It's all about money in silly season. Everyone is holding out to see how much they can get and clubs who still haven;'t signed what they need will pop up with higher and higher fees/ wages.
I don't believe the BS about this player doesn't want to come, that player doesn't. Arsenal have Palace sniffing around now and want to see how much they will get, Nketiah's and Gimanez agents want to see how much dollar they can squeeze out of clubs.
Money talks. It stinks, but that's what happens when the fans sell their "clubs" (yes they were actually clubs, not toys for the rich and companies).
Capitalism rules. It's nothing to do with love of football.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 07:10:31
That's very cynical Cyclist. It's also very true mate.
2.) 27 Aug 2024 07:19:40
Gimenez just didn't want to play for Forest. I don't think it was money with him. If a club like Brighton or West Ham then he would've gone to them. He wanted to play for a team that is established in the Premier League not one that has battled against relegation for the 2 seasons it's been back in the Prem.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 07:29:08
Incidentally, Cyclist, why do think Oasis are having a reunion? It's not because the Gallagher's suddenly like each other.
4.) 27 Aug 2024 08:40:06
I wonder if players are starting to think shall I sign for forest and if I do will I be playing at forest or Olympiacos ?.
5.) 27 Aug 2024 08:58:27
Or Rio Avenue?.
6.) 27 Aug 2024 09:06:38
The Hokey Cokey Skegsjay, if you were a comedian of the standing of Stokey look at all the new material the likes of Chelsea, City, Forest and of course Fester now Cooper's there you'd have a Field Day dip your bread ha ha just Jesterimg.
7.) 27 Aug 2024 09:14:22
And Gimenez has got Champions League football to look forward to at Feyenoord.
8.) 27 Aug 2024 09:36:53
Bayern are interested now hence the change of club choice.
In a spiteful way I hope he's unsuccessful to wherever he moves.
9.) 27 Aug 2024 10:06:44
Bayer not Bayern. apologies! ?.
10.) 27 Aug 2024 10:22:05

Made a bit of a tapestry of that red norman.
12.) 27 Aug 2024 17:27:01
Polly, I think Oasis need more money for white lines, the roads are shocking in Manchester. Sniff, sniff!
13.) 27 Aug 2024 21:15:51
They don’t live in Manchester red. they can have my money and I couldn’t care less what they do with it ?.
14.) 27 Aug 2024 21:26:47
Cyclist - I said the same to Mrs Legless earlier. The brothers have snorted all of their savings up. Allegedly.
24 Aug 2024 19:08:52
So let's burst the Balloons.
35% possession against a team that has now failed to win their last 15 in the Premier League? To quote Sky Sports report on the match:-
"Southampton have failed to win in their last 15 games in the Premier League - their longest winless streak in the competition. "
I'd love to know when Nuno is going to step up and stop letting the other team have the ball all the time.
Nevertheless, at least we beat the division whipping boys. Points on the board.
1.) 24 Aug 2024 19:46:55
Did you watch the game cyclist?
Those stats can't be right and if they are then that was because Southampton only had possession in their own half
Look at the rest of the stats like corners, shots on and off target
Southampton cudnt get out of their own half in first half especially, so they are irrelevant stats
Mate sels had the easiest game since he came to forest with hardly anything to do
We should have had the game wrapped up first half, end of the day it's three points away from home, you don't get extra for winning more
We aren't the finished article, bit Southampton are finished already and heading straight back to the championship
Like i said before the game they don't have a striker that's anywhere near premier quality
We ran the game and forced the result, pushy footing around in your own half with no quality is the truth about Southampton.
2.) 24 Aug 2024 20:17:23
As De Bruyne said this week. too many stats cloud the picture. we won 1-0 is the only important Stat!
3.) 24 Aug 2024 20:54:07
Exactly McGovern.
4.) 24 Aug 2024 20:55:59
Yes, I saw the game. We were better than Southampton. I was winding Balloons up for saying we had 75% possession to try and make some belated point about the bast manager we have had in 25 years.
Southampton are cr4p on that showing. See how their other results go before we decide ours was a great one. Good to get points on the board in these first three games.
5.) 24 Aug 2024 21:03:24
'Lies, damned lies and statistics' to coin a phase. I actually agree with you for once DTP! Ultimately, I don't care about stats - we won an away game.
6.) 24 Aug 2024 21:31:27
Wind balloons up?
He's the master at that apparently?
???.
7.) 25 Aug 2024 10:58:53
Who gives a flying f. k about possession stats. We were the better team by far and kept a clean sheet away. They have the highest scorer from the championship last season so I do believe that have goals in them.
8.) 25 Aug 2024 15:53:09
Possession is meaningless if you don't score.
It's football not hog the ball.
A win is a win. ????.
18 Aug 2024 13:59:51
Nuno works his magic again. Absolute tactical masterclass.
Sangare looked better now he's recovered from Malaria. He didn't play like MGW on fire, as that isn't his job. His job is to cover the back four, break up play and get the ball moving when an attack breaks down. He did his job.
Danilo injury, so Mr Anderson from the Matrix needs to step up quickly. Shame we don't have Neo in goal and Morpheus as manager.
Maybe it's me, but Boly is a massive player for us and Murillo looks like he might be suited to a back 3 better than a 4. Is the plan really to drop Boly when the new lad is not suspended?

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?
20 Aug 2024 01:03:00
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.
11 Sep 2024 00:33:36
My player of month for sure. He's going to be a top player!
08 Sep 2024 15:03:56
Exactly Vespa. Mixing it up makes a lot of sense. We will soon stumble on some connections between our attackers then.
08 Sep 2024 10:33:28
Anyone think Nuno is a tad predictable with selection?
I was looking at the squad. We could set the team out in any formation and style without weakening the side. Hopefully this is what Nuno wants and won't just keep doing the same thing.
Managers (coaches? ) often find the winning formula when they do something unexpected or experiment. They almost NEVER do when they keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
If I was a manager, I'd be thinking my lucky stars for Anderson. That is some player we have there. What were the Georgdies (Arabs? ) thinking? What pro can't see what I do?
08 Sep 2024 10:25:05
You've made me realise how much I need a holiday. My son's Mum is sick and not been able to catch a break for a while.
Make the most of it. When you get back, we will be in the Champions League places, surely with this squad. ?.
07 Sep 2024 11:26:14
You can love Capitalist nonsense as much as you like, but it has its place and turning things like entire sports into toys for the wealthy is never going to make things better. FACT!
