January transfer thread

SSN now reporting Ayew to Everton, but also that Forest want him

 

​

 

You talk of contingencies, but we signed a replacement for Simms, then Stewart got injured 2 days ago. You seem to think that we should have had a list of players ready to go to replace Stewart. My "strange comment" is that it's hard to sign good players with no notice. You will counter by saying that we should have signed backup on the basis he might have got injured again, but it doesn't work like that, especially when we have so little wriggle room with the wage bill. Real life isn't Fifa/Football Manager

 

Was at Swansea with Cooper wasn’t he?

 

yep

and either way Ayew is on a flight overnight and won’t arrive to sign with anybody until tomorrow.

he’s on a free

 

Is there no flexibility for loaning players?
I’m aware this is a massive straw clutch

 

so we still not getting Simms then

 

At this late stage, you would think not. Hey ho. ****e anyway etc

 

no it’s tonight or July

 

Don’t patronise me mate, I know it’s not FIFA, but we went into the season light up front with only 2 strikers, which the board obviously didn’t want to do, hence why we chased Broadhead. We then had them both out with injury leaving us with no strikers. We went into this window with only one striker, so yes, to not attempt to bring in 2 strikers regardless of Stewart’s injury’s is poor planning.

 

He can sign electronically

 

“not attempt”. I’m pretty certain they’ve attempted.

 

having medical tomorrow so they and their insurers won’t want him signing until that’s done

 

Is there anyone that Forest doesn't want to sign?

 

Can't he have a medical anywhere else in the world?

 

How do you know the club havent attempted to bring in 2 strikers

 

Ayew still looked canny in the world cup I thought. I wouldnt pin survival on him, but I would bet he can offer something.

 

I’m only saying what sky sports news are saying

 

It is remiss not having a list ready for all eventualities, that is the job of the club.
They should also have had a back up plan if Simms does not come, and it looks like he may not

We will end up with one striker, which is not the best ,to say the least

 

The club seemed happy with 2 strikers. Until Saturday at 3.20pm, we had 2 strikers, You may think differently, but thankfully you aren't employed by the club to make those decisions.
