Jan transfer window

Yes, really. £15m minimum. Now stick to that line and repeat at any given opportunity.

 

4 days into the window so plenty of time. These days it's not so much a case of the January sales or whether Harry Redknapp can make a quick buck recycling his lovely boys. I suspect Ferdinand and Warburton identified their targets some time ago. If in doubt they could always wait to see who Forest are going for!

 

Yeah they did and one was Cook, who it now looks like os going to Forest. That's why I thought Masterson returning is a bit odd !

 

Cook gone to Forest.
Follows on from Forest getting a loan of striker Davis from Villa.
The return of Harry Arter from loan at Charlton.

And a big bid for Josh Bowler ( we sold him to Everton for 1million when he was a kid...he is now a wing back and plays for Blackpool.

I read Forest have signed 78 players in the last 5 or 6 windows.

 

Kieran Trippier set to become first signing for Saudi Toon....... £12m fee plus add-ons for a 31 year old with no resale value......Why would you leave Madrid to live/work in Newcastle, apart from a sack load of cash........... I can see them becoming the same as us under the Hughes/Redknapp period....... buying players on inflated fees looking for one last pay day........... hope they crash and burn......

 

At least he gets to go on the big one.. if that’s still about

 

I wonder how many players Forest have in their 1st team squad?

 

Like all EFL teams...25 in their squad

There are 29 faces on the first team squad page plus now Cook (30 faces)...but only over 21 are counted and I have no idea, who is who really.

But it does look as though they do have to lose a few people in their squad.

Edit
We (QPR) have 26 faces and I can identify 3 as u21

 

They must have a massive wage bill. Anybody there we might fancy? At the right price?

 

Worrell defender CB I think & decent player

 

Well we did step aside to let them have Cook

 

I read Forest reduced their squad considerably in the summer window before this season started.

 

Have they had a bit of a trim

 

Cut out a bit of the dead wood

 

They couldnt see the wood for the trees

 

Ten minutes to penalties

 

The sell out crowd must number 500

 

I saw that Forest have had 83 players in their 1st team in the past 4 seasons. That's basically seven and a half teams. Doesn't say much for either their planning or coaching...
