I've read that Forest have been trying very hard to get MGW to sign a new contract without a release clause, for significantly more money. If they had any faith in the argument that it was a mere drafting error, those attempts would fatally hole that argument. They could simply have sought a declaration that the contract was to have contained the clause, if there was evidence to back that up.
Skyte Sports claim that Forest have sent legal threats to both us and MGW Really looks like they've decided MGW's agent squealed about the release clause and are hoping one of us hangs him out to dry The obvious fact they're missing is that release clauses tend to be public knowledge (i.e. Kudus' was public knowledge for weeks before we signed him, or we've been hearing about Benjamin Sesko's for what feels like a year) but Forest had a release clause that nobody knew about? That smells More than anything else, given the Mansourites were offering £100m for him in January, I'm certain this clause would have been truffled out around that time by somebody :::EDIT::: ...Skyte Sports also claim that we pretty much laughed at these threats and are biding our time
Anyway, in other news, Pete Hall at the Indy says we've bid for Genoa CB Koni de Winter Given he's a Juventus academy graduate, have to assume Paratici is advising this one

Luca Williams-Bennett was blocking his path to regular football, so he heads to the oil barons Who will never play him, but still whack a 25% sell-on clause on him three or four years from now please log in to view this image
Forest are looking to sign Spurs legend Gedson Fernandes No word as to whether Besiktas put a release clause in his contract
Alasdair Gold says we've agreed a fee with Luton for Josh Keeley, with a whacking great sell-on fee attached
Sad to see him go but there is a sell on fee as well as a buy back , no mention of the fee is there , good luck to him and hope he reaches the top
Re Gibbs-White, I think we should just set Forest an ultimatum and move on if the situation is still unresolved by then. This threatens to drag on all summer.
We should just ignore Forest, do his medical and announce it. **** 'em. Get someone to harpoon their owner next time he's in open waters, too.
Kyle Walker-Peters' move to Besiktas has collapsed. Rumour is that he couldn't get his family to agree to go to Istanbul.
A flash of promise a week and a half ago has faded into an all too familiar slow trudge. No improvements have been made to the first team - again. Meanwhile no one has been moved on.
Basically do what Man Utd did to us with Berbatov See if the Premier League turn a blind eye to such blatant ignoring of their rules when we do it for a change...
Reports say he wasn't signing a new contract, so it's best to sell now r/coys is consoling themselves over the fact he'd never qualify as HG or CG
