Agree. Didn't look out of place in the very few minutes he's been able to show so far.

I hope so. You can tell he's been itching to make some sort of contribution, especially since returning to fitness.

Potentially Kouyate too, which would be a great pick up for them. Seems the general consensus amomgst their fans is that they're just being used to house players we couldn't get rid of
I can understand their skepticism around Biancone due to his injury and general lack of showng any promise, but Kouyate would be a great player to have in their squad even at 33

Not saying you're wrong - but do you have a source?
I was initially under the impression we could only loan out 7 players, but having looked at it again, I think the guidance about 7 loans currently applies to international transfers, with a limit of three loans from one club to another.
England/Premier League have a few years to adopt the rules fully, but that makes me think domestic loans/rules between premier league clubs are different.
That aside - Giulian Biancone seems like a good character, but he desperately needs games and a chance to play after his injury. I hope he gets minutes at Olympiakos and a chance to shine.

Any deal with Olympiacos will have to be a full transfer regardless of limitations in the FA, because after the Podence deal we already have seven players on loan, which is the international limit.

Creative accounting. Money laundering. Tax dodge. Call it what you will.

Sounds to me like this is one of them fancy new transfer things.

It'll be a permanent deal with a buy back clause.
If he does well, he will come back.
I actually think he could be a really useful player but he needs a run of games that we can't give him right now, good move for everybody.

It was over for him as soon as he gone done by Ruben Rodrigues in the 2-2 PS friendly draw against Counteh.

As I was afraid, we got the one player of yours that we did not need.

Reportedly yes.

Ahh. Could be another one like Omar where a bit of warm weather training and a new environment could do him the world of good after the long term injury.
He seems a very popular guy among the dressing room, I thought he'd keep him around to be the off pitch mascot like Lingard was last year.

On paper, yes, necessarily so, because we have exhausted our loan slots.

If true, it's a shame we didn't get to see what he could do in a Forest shirt at a competitive level.
He looked decent in 2022 pre-season before his injury.

To be fair I don’t think he’ll be a bad addition for you mate

He is a good player. But we have four players who can play as a RB and four CBs, and the manager wanted a small squad.

I'm not totally sure because we haven't seen much of GB play for us and even less of OR. OR was injured pretty much straight after joining so the jury is totally out on that as there's no sample to work on. In terms of GB he came on for a bit when we lost at city and also the end of the draw with Brighton and in neither appearance did he really disgrace himself but the 16 minutes he played isn't enough to really make a decision on. This was also at the time period when we were settling in and they were trying to keep the promotion winning defence in the side along with Toffolo and Williams covering wing back so it was probably the plan to bed him in more gently and then give him appearances later in the season which of course didn't happen with the injury. And we already brought in Aurier so there was no need for Giulian to rush back last season and now we have AIna and Montiel as well.
Sending him to Oly with a buy back if we want it is probably the most sensible option here given he's not going to make the 25 and needs to prove himself.
