Belotti isn't just twice the player of Broja now, he's twice the player he will ever become.

Crouchy was class.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
and let's not forget the very sharp elbows than Fellaini unfortunately was born with and it's a shame that he couldn't stop them from clattering into other player's noggins...talk about unwieldyIroning Board wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 10:16 pm Yeah, but Tom is a much cleaner player. He doesn't have anywhere near the upper body strength of Fellaini, who could just ragdoll people with ease. His chest control really was something else as well.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Evening Standard claiming we will go for Worrall if Forest miss out on promotion - https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba ... 02021.html
"Moyes will receive significant backing in the transfer market this summer after securing a second successive season in Europe, but is keen to raise further funds through player sales and Diop is among those the club will listen to offers for, while there are concerns over the reliability of Ogbonna’s fitness as he returns from a long-term knee problem at the age of 34."
:shock:

That person you mention would have been me.Morocco Mole wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 9:58 pm Minus free-kicks his productivity is Lanzini/Fornals levels. It’s too much money for a player we’ve basically already got a couple of.
I advocate him there as a much more useful version of Lanzini. And then one who can play deeper in a two against better teams.
£65m is too much for our budget, but you massively underrate him

Should have a look at Spence and Johnson too while we're at it.bubbles1966 wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 10:27 pm Evening Standard claiming we will go for Worrall if Forest miss out on promotion - https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba ... 02021.html

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
I really think we need someone to replace Lanzini. He is far too lightweight. Maybe OK for the bench but he is never a starter. Fornals has a better engine and seems to be more versatile.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
But he was good in just about every other game... don't get fixated on one game. He's a good defender. Trust me.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Fair. I thought Johnson outside of his goal was anonymous too (and has been in a couple of others I’ve seen). Spence had an average game as well but I’ve definitely seen him light it up a few times.Burnley Hammer wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 10:30 pm But he was good in just about every other game... don't get fixated on one game.

For a 51 year old...
All joking aside, Shearer would score about four goals a season with VAR!

Fornals can replace Lanzini. Lingard can take the other attacking spot.Ironing Board wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 10:30 pm I really think we need someone to replace Lanzini. He is far too lightweight.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Yeah we seemed to function well with Fornals in that sort of left wingback role. That said, if we sign the Rangers defender then we may not need the coverage so badly.Aztec Hammer wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 10:34 pm Fornals can replace Lanzini. Lingard can take the other attacking spot.
Areola
Johnson Zouma Aguerd Bassey
Rice Soucek
Bowen Lingard Fornals
Antonio

Would be a pretty potent team. And that's without adding any of the extra possible incomings. Dennis for Fornals might be pretty dangerous.
