    Presumably before our other central midfield signings happened ?

    Unlikely Brentford can spend this money and register players before tomorrows game (they could have already spent it on some of their signings already)

    Surprised you're not in for Ward-Prowse, doesn't look like Lopetegui rates him at all.

    I expect most of it has been committed to the three new signings

    As Forest have no option to buy it could be something we look at next summer if we stay up.

    Available too late and positions filled. Need the premier league loan for other positions. And wages too high. Most would have liked him if other priorities were sorted first. But too much to do and not enough resources or loan slots

    You certainly put a curse on our ex heroes, Fonte, Ings, JWP.

    He didn't get many minutes and when he did he was offside all the time. Not sure that was all his fault though, he seemed to always be looking to get on the end of a first time ball that never came, so when the ball did come after the passing player's 2nd or 3rd touch, he'd be offside. He also got injured and, allegedly, his attitude to getting back to fitness wasn't all that, but that could've been down to not being given chances when fit, although Dyche called him out for the same thing.
    Change of scenery may do him good, but he may be one of those players to whom football is just a job.

    to be fair Fonte went on to captain Lille to a title against a Messi and Neymar led PSG, so hardly cursed. And unlike the other 2 mentioned, JWP was decent for us, Lopetegui just doesn't seem to rate him.

    So Martin said hopefully 1 or 2 more after Ramsdale. Cornet seemingly 1, guess we are hoping for a central striker as the other one?

    Did also say we would need some outgoings and no news on that so far

    It’s a position we are quite heavy in tbh, priorities are elsewhere.

    Central striker just to reduce the toxicity/negativity in the fanbase. Although let’s face it any striker we can get at this notice (and likely required to be an overseas loan) is not going to be the glitzy high priced striker large parts of our fanbase have decided is the only acceptable recruit

    Stop obsessing about the fanbase! The moaners are always the loudest voices so it isn't worth worrying about.

    We've had one hell of a window!


    But I still think we will go down.

    £10m for Jayden Meghoma from brentford; that's mental for an untested kid.

    Shame to lose another gem, mind, but mental money.

    I think although his potential is clear, that's excellent money for someone who hasn't established themsleves at senior level. If it helps us bring in a CF then so be it.
