Lard Ass Hogan has clogged up the works It's not a case of upping the bid by £5-10m and seeing if Forest blink, or moving on as we got outbid or couldn't agree terms, as Gibbs-White has agreed terms and wants to move but Forest are acting in the sort of bad faith usually reserved for Reform candidates so we're in limbo That might have something to do with not strengthening as sorting that mess out is now just as much a priority as signing somebody, hence Palhinha is moving at such an odd pace
The club target is to have a squad that will finish PL top 4 in the 2026-27 season. The CL group stage campaign is claimed to be bringing in 100m over this season. Buying more Richarlisons would be a waste of that money.
Also need to balance the till a little bit, as we're pretty much out of squad places Solomon and Gil are the obvious candidates to move on, but that's hardly clearing the decks
