January transfer window rumours.

[warksclaret]

Didn’t we average over 2 points per game last season across the games where Cork and Brownhill started together?

Maybe but I suspect this was more due to the mini revival under Mike Jackson, than these two being dominant together as a pair. Westwood got injured in the first game at WHU under MJ, and the other two played in all the remaining games.Jack has been a very effective CM this season, with great distribution but in the PL constantly gets bullied and dispossessed. Josh has more aggression and is great at pressing and breaking play, but lacks the close control and distribution for a regular PL player. And for an attacking midfielder his shooting is poor

[NewClaret]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but Nixon saying we are after buying Surridge this window not loaning.

Rumours we’ve bid £5m

Really surprised and not sure where that leaves Obafemi. He needs to like some more posts sharpish…

He's on against Southampton, 71st minute sub

We’ve had this debate on here before and I’ve posted a team photo of him stood next to and taller than Ben Mee. The stat is billhooks.

Cork has Bly got bullied and dispossessed because 9 times out of 10 he was one of 2 midfielders up against 3 for the opposition. Need be of the downsides of Dyches rigid 4 4 2.

Not the most reliable source but taken from news now which quotes the daily mail:- West Brom, Swansea and Burnley all want to sign Brighton’s 18-year-old striker Evan Ferguson on loan, according to The Daily Mail.

After his performance v Everton this week, no way will they let him go

absoutely. He's first team material at Brighton.

Take with a pinch of salt that one, comes from clubs fan page who then after saying the original post, says Burnley most likely

[MancunianClaret]

Nixon saying move for Surridge is for a buy rather than loan - region of £5M. Apologies if already posted.

I'd move on quickly with any deals with Forest, a nightmare of a club to do business with when buying

[Colburn_Claret]

I’d be very surprised if we signed Semenyo, Bournemouth are about to start throwing a bit of cash around I believe and they are rumoured to be interested. I would have thought that the fee would be too high for us even if we were the only club in. Maybe a bit of Billy bullshitting is going on to get who we actually want here

It just occurred to me, that Burnley is a better prospect than Bournemouth. No guarantee, but we'll likely be swapping places in 5 months, and a choice of playing for Kompany or Jones....
Things have definitely improved in our attractiveness.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Quiet one so far today….Forest fans seem to really like Surridge, and he got a 20 minute cameo last night I believe, where he impressed.

Jones is the Southampton manager. Your basic point may have some validity though.

STVV defender Ameen Al-Dakhil

[LaLigaClaret]

Again not a rumour but a suggestion Dante Vanzeir Union SG in Belgium. He got 15 goals and 10 assists in 2021/2022 season and is proving to be a hit again this season. He is considered to link up well, has good technical ability, a proven goal scorer and could work very effectively with our wide men. Not sure of his likely price but VK will surely be aware of him.

[Taffy on the wing]

Nonsense by the look of it….. Sounds like they were greedy in Summer & now regret it.

Looks a good player and has posted fantastic numbers for 2.5 seasons now. Good age too.

Only problem with anyone from that club is that Tony Bloom owns them and will ferry anything of value over to Brighton I think.

Oh I hadn't realised that. That would be a major problem, Its rumoured that MLS New York were making a 5m euros bid for him, surely he would be worth a punt at that price. I believe he plays as CF but can also be a winger and is right footed.

[KRBFC]

I've been on about 6 site's and he's between 5 feet 9 and 6 feet 2 so no one knows his height, there is no player there, he scored 3 goals in the first 4 games and then hasn't scored another since September until last week, 4 in 22 games is p1ss poor

22 year old winger, 20 goals and assists in 31 games last season.

That isn't **** poor at all

[agreenwood]

Sounds like we might not be a million miles away from signing Ameen Al-Dakhil…

Seems to be several outlets in Belgium picking up on the Al-Dakhil link now. HLN suggests it might be imminent.

If it’s Olympiakos it’ll be cos the Forest chairman owns both clubs.

Id agree his dead ball shooting is poor, but from open play he doesn't look too shabby to me.

Anyway, after Maatsens free kick the other day I reckon (hope) we won't see Josh stood over a free kick again.

[DCWat]

I’ve no issue with Brownhill standing over a free kick, just as long he’s the decoy and not the taker!

[Spike]

Olympic Argos ? Forest won’t even give us a pencil to fill the form in if there past attitude towards deals with us is anything to go by

According to the translation Kompany called him in the summer but hasn’t called recently.

if he called during the season would this be an illegal approach?

I thought it was an illegal approach whatever the time of year if a player is under contract unless the club has given permission.

[NewClaret]

Should never be allowed to take one again!

I’d honestly just do the pass it backwards/around the back routine than see him sky another.

[agreenwood]

According to the translation Kompany called him in the summer but hasn’t called recently.

Aye, but both links appear to be expecting him to join us this month.

The Belgian media called a lot of our links right last summer.

[Carwin261]

Just combined to do a Benson,& Zaroury goal.

Whoops wrong post

There is so much crap talked about players heights, Charlie Taylor is only 5’8”—REALLY!
I’ve only seen Semenyo on tv but strikers at 5’6” you notice. I’ve only noticed him for his finishing.

I was pretty surprised to discover that Manuel Benson is 5'10"

We need a young striker in my opinion as jay is getting on and if we get a injury up top we will be struggling .
