David Carmo

Don't know, it was a random twitter post from a Greek journalist (I think).

Not just some rando, Antonis. Used to regularly chip in with Forest stuff, then things went weird for him if I remember.

Not very weird, it's just that people kept asking him about things related to Forest, given that he seemed to have very good inside info, and he got annoyed that he was treated like an ITK person rather than as a journalist.

Kind of what I meant by weird for him.

He had a brief spell knowing absolutely everything, I think his contact was Pedro Pereira until he left.

Fun fact, that Pedro Periera works for an agent now that Milenkovic is with.

The DoF of Seville is our former DoF Antonio Cordón, who brought Carmo to Olympiacos in the first place.

The Juve technical director is Modesto as well, lol! The football world is small.

Ohh god the Palace fans who stalk this forum are going to put our an hour video pre match about this aren't they.

 

[RedNorway]

They need a CB as they just sold Badé to Leverkusen (Edit: or was rumoured to be going there at least).

To preserve the name symmetry of those involved with the transfer I demand that we hire a new DOF with the name Cordo.

Safe to say these signings for Oly have all been disasters.

No more.

This. Doesn't seem to do either club any favours, does it?

Why can’t Oly buy their own players?
Or is it just another wheeze to get profits into Forest?

Marato did OK coming on late, as you rightly point out.
However, he gets caught in possession regularly, struggles to control the ball when it is passed to him, and always looks like he panics when defending, and I am surprised he doesn't concede more dangerous free kickcs, even penalties.

I'm a bit more positive on Morato, I definitely think there's a good player in there but coming on and finishing games for 15 minutes hasn't allowed him to get his momentum going.

It's the squad thing again, Murillo can't play every single game so I can see Morato and Cunha getting plenty of cup action this season. Personally I'm very comfortable with both of them as rotational players, we need to be aware of our current status and I think those two (and Boly) are very good 2nd string players for our current level

Forest have more revenue and are able to cover the small outlays more easily.

From a player POV, they'd probably prefer to sign for Forest than Oly as well. Easier to get out from us if they don't perform well on loan at Oly, than if they were a permanent signing at Oly.

There's not been a lot of benefited gained from these internal transfers between ourselves but that might change if we change our model to start stockpiling serious talent under 21 years old who aren't quite ready for PL start but a season at Oly with high standards and European competition might help their development.

 

[Danga]

Personally I don't see this as forward planning, this is a player Oly has wanted since the end of last season and it is a creative way to get around FFP in Europe. I'd be shocked if he ever plays a game for Forest.

Rare occasion I might be right!

 

[Gyros Peter]

Did we sign Carmo the same summer we bought Milenkovic, after he had a year on loan with Oly? Strikes me he might have been a back up plan.

He was good for 98% of last season and was a big reason for hanging on in a huge amount of games. People just want a new shiny toy, the club should continue to back Morato, he is a good age & has all the attributes you need for a defender at this level.

Couldn't agree more. Hate how quickly people want to discard players who did so well last season, based on some highlight reels and a few reviews from random 'pundits'. It's the modern blight of zero attention span... always want something new and (supposedly) better.

Although Carmo's move to Seville is a move that all three sides want, the problem, according to a knowledgeable Greek reporter, is that Seville cannot afford Carmo's wages until they ship away some of their existing CBs.

 

[GreeksBearingGifts]

Carmo is very close to Real Oviedo, as a loan. According to Antonis Oikonomidis, the Spanish team will cover his wages and give you a substantial loan fee (you want 2m euros).

I look forward to seeing him next pre-season then (again)

Gone to Real Oviedo on loan for the season.
