Where does this guy play? I assume he'd compete with Lingard?
Time to lose our minds. Was shit anyway. We’ve got Yates etc etc
You are right, let’s not try ambitious signings and convince players that are clearly a level above where we are currently to try and join.Thats not good.
If the lad doesn't want to be here, then we don't need him. Theres a fine line between stacking the club with decent players to take us to the next level and having one or two mercenaries with their eye on something else down the line who affect the dressing room.
Like it or not if we stay up this season its going to be 75% effort, hard work and desire.
Come on Rz, that's not what I am saying. I am sure you appreciate theres a balance to be achieved. I could be completely wrong about this guy and maybe he will bleed Forest given time but I worry about the idea hes sitting on our contract and his agents are lugging his signature around loads of clubs in Europe.You are right, let’s not try ambitious signings and convince players that are clearly a level above where we are currently to try and join.
Know your place Forest.
A page or so back, everyone was excited that he was coming and for seemingly a good price. A value buy.Come on Rz, that's not what I am saying.

Over the years we've had loads of talented players who were more interested in themselves than the club and sometimes the higher the talent the bigger to ego. Take Pierre for example...was his time with us a success?. He scored loads, let the line and probably took us to a level we wouldn't have achieved without him. But he evicerated the club when he got fed up, so its not without risk...
You may be right.A page or so back, everyone was excited that he was coming and for seemingly a good price. A value buy.
He doesn't become a different player if he wants to hold out for a better offer. If ends up coming to us were still get that player.
That he might be motivated to play at a higher level should be good thing. If were a stepping stone, he still has to show the next club.
I hope we get him and we see his value.
Agreed. And you know what, for the first time in about 25 years I trust our recruitment team to get that right, although I would say they've had alot on their plate over recent times!The people I want ro know about him being the right character are in our recruitment process.
I'm simply speculating that he could have the right character and be holding out for a higher level. They're not incompatible.
Equally, the club could share your view and our interest will wane.

Yeah heard nothing from anybody on our end yet to get too excited.Let’s just wait and see what happens.
Still wonder if it's flexing to wolves - look at who we could get for less.Yeah heard nothing from anybody on our end yet to get too excited.
Could just be us doing the agent a favour and getting his name out there for other clubs.
