Im all for a youth keeper. Look at Trafford at Burnley. I’d develop shelvey as well over what we have now. Turner is that bad I wouldn’t even want him if we are a championship club.

So if we have a keeper who makes loads of mistakes and looks like a nervous dog. I’d rather we had a young one with time on his hands.
How many loans has Shelvey had in the Football League? If he was ever going to make it at Forest he’d have been playing at a higher level by now. Give up on this one.

He will never play a competitive game for Forest and will leave when his contract expires in the summer IMHO.

Vincent Aboubakar has been “removed from selection” by Besiktas, purportedly due to “performance and team compatibility issues” (along with 4 other players, including Eric Bailly who has already been shipped off to Villarreal.

But he’s still been banging in the goals there, as he has done his whole career. He’s on 50k a week so a loan deal until the summer would also be cheaper than the Origi deal (on 75 to 90k a week apparently).

Of course he’ll be off to AFCON, but with Woody in form and Taiwo back soon, I doubt we would find better CF backup in January without splashing millions.

No thanks, he could be the second coming of Brazilian Ronaldo himself but if he's a prick he can stay away from our dressing room.

Edit - and he's 31? Pfft.

In my (albeit unprofessional) opinion, Aaron Bott definitely looks to have more potential. George is getting on a bit now, and seems to have replaced Jordan Smith in a sort of useful to keep around-type role.

I've come around to the 'we need a winger' club, if we're playing 4231 from here on in.

We need two..

Maybe not in January but by summer at least.

He does have an ego but pretty sure half of it is an act in the way Zlatan does. I don't think you can dispute his quality, he is a good player.

Not going to happen, but I'd love us to go after Jack Clarke at Sunderland. Palace have done a very good job of signing and developing the best young talent in the Championship, I think Clarke, even at 23, is still getting better with plenty to offer.

Yeah, he looked decent V PNE today. Looks a bit lightweight but much stronger than he looks, quick too.

Looks like Spurs own him?
Went to Spurs as a youngster after breaking through at Leeds. Never really made the cut after a bunch of loans and ultimately ended up signing for Sunderland in the 2022 window.

No in depth scouting report from me, but every time I watch him he looks the best player on the pitch. Like you say, deceptively strong, quick, skillful and it always feels like he impacts the game in a positive way.

Would like to see Sunderland come up... at the expense of a Brentford, Bornmuff etc.

He was linked to us quite a few times when we were in the Championship

I would like us to avoid the Championship tbh, unless they are a special talent I think there is better and cheaper markets to explore

I must admit to a tiny bit of trepidation about re-signing Navas. He was showing signs of age catching up with him last season I felt, and he's a year older now. If he's not lost much ability/agility in that year then obviously he's a clear upgrade on what we have, and I suppose that'll do until summer.

Not that I'm assuming we will get him in again of course.

If he can play without looking like he's wearing concrete wellies, get him in.
