Wouldn’t say this is over yet. Anything can happen when it comes to Forest.

Not a fan of saying "no chance" but this is surely as close to it as you can be, the board can't be seen to be backing the supporters wishes only to flip again but this time after selling Ndiaye. That'd be suicide.
 
Wonder how the player feels

His own club don’t want him, he won’t get a huge signing on fee tomorrow, and he’s staying at a club that doesn’t back or develop young players
 
I get he’s one of their own and all that but Ndiaye probably doesn’t leave if Armstrong goes. That is a huge loss for them, went to their game last week and he’s another level to the rest of the team (bar maybe Dewsbury-Hall)

And they're complaining about that already....

"Everton put you through the ringer"

Not hard enough for me, f***ers have been screaming to taste the Championship numerous times and somehow always managed to escape. Thats the ringer.

This one made me laugh - they’re not happy about this either 😂

Totally grim. Anyone who's seen Falloverson recently will attest that he is so washed up its untrue. What have we become! 😂

Ndiaye off to Spurs with Richarlison going the other way

They will regret that. Everton do love their strikers that don't many score goals. They seem obsessively drawn to them.
 
They’ve obviously got scared, yeah they’ve listened to their fanbase, but all they are doing is kicking the can down the road, they must have PSR issues or they wouldn’t have sanctioned the sale so easily.


This just smacks of them thinking he’ll be the next Elliot Anderson, and getting scared. We won’t get him now, but what I do like about the whole situation is that we clearly are one of the best in the league at identifying talent and potential, even to the point that teams like Everton themselves don’t know what they’ve got until Forest bid.

Honestly if it wasn’t Forest bidding, Everton fans wouldn’t care, and this deal would have gone through, its the collective Anderson trauma felt by the rest of the league haha.


Edit: as if by magic now the Ndiaye / Richarlison swap gets done. Do they really want Richarlison? This deal, whilst making the fans happy, does make them weaker as a team.

they still want Grealish and cant afford him.

who would have the most impact for them this season ?
 
Wad discussed on TalkSport just now.

Everton sanctioned and agreed in writing yesterday morning prompting Forest to book a medical today (Sunday).

Combination of the player not wanting the move, Moyes and fan backlash prompts u-turn following the game.

It's as dead as dodo.
 
The only way this happens now is if we up the bid and Everton announce a signing the fans rate with the proceeds. That the clear profit would help balance their books isn't enough for the fans so I very much doubt it'll happen.

Though I do wonder if Armstrong's stance may have an impact. I thought he was up for the move and you'd think he's in a strong position to demand more playing time from Moyes. But he's an old fashioned manager with little time for player histrionics. Wonder if Harrison may look at the demise of Dibling's career under Moyes and think he's holding him back too much. If he doesn't really want to leave though it's dead in the water.

Well from what I heard on TalkSport this morning they are reporting the player did not want the move.

Dodo was never close to joining anyway.

To be fair not that comparable

It is more comparable to us selling Johnson when Brentford bid £6m for him in the Championship

Not sure I understand why that is more comparable, but not a hill to die on.

My point, rightly or wrongly he is seen as the only academy player with first team potential. In fact I had heard he’s the only “local lad” in the squad, I’ve not been bothered to check. Yates is our only “Forest” player. Yep, different ages, stages of career, potential etc. but personally I love having “one of our own” in and around the squad and whilst he’s willing to stay I wouldn’t want him to go.

And on Harrison, was all for it until I saw this picture..

True, but Everton can be very Forest-esque so that’s why there’s that tinge of doubt/hope in my mind!

Fair enough if they've listened to the fans but the player "Not wanting the move" is pretty much them trying to save face, the fee was agreed AND personal terms agreed which is why the medical was booked.

Not out of the question Moyes and fanbacklash changed his mind....
