This is what I think it is. It effectively provides security for the lack of it in midfield. And with better attackers this means teams commit less men forward due to the threat of the counter

We need to carry a threat for that to happen, as opposed to 2 strikers isolated from the other 8.
 
Really? I think he's really been fcuked around for too long and don't begrudge him a penny. A massively underrated player IMO..but I am on the wine lol

I think he's massively overrated and I'd happily be ****ed around for the £120k a week he's been getting at man utd. If he thought anything about his career then he would have taken the west ham offer. But he's just gone for £££

True, but good players’ careers don’t just stagnate for no reason. He was stupid not to leave Man Utd last summer under Solskjær, he wasn’t allowed to leave under Rangnick in January and now he’s moved purely for money rather than go back to West Ham, where he fit in well, played some of his best football and was well-liked by the fans.

He’s on a one-year contract at Forest and if they go down, I doubt West Ham will be arsed to sign him again. He’s ****ed West Ham about just as much as Man Utd ****ed him about.

The fact he considered Saudi at this stage of his career says it all

I think it's a pretty good deal for Forest. He'll cost them just under £10m for the season, if he keeps them up it's worth it, but if he doesn't he's gone. He was a £30m player not so long back who would've still wanted £100k in wages. So I think it's a solid gamble.
 
Definitely this!

The number of occasions that we get in a decent forward position and then ‘check back’ and play along the back line is infuriating.

You can even see a simple forward pass to keep the momentum going but the super safe back to a full back or centre back is taken far too often.

This may still be the default position of last season that a number of players are trying to get out of their system. Some positive play and moving the ball quickly was in evidence but definitely not enough.

I’m hoping that the higher quality of players brought in (and those yet to come) will transform our style of play as we progress through the season.

You have to have numbers pushing forward to give the player on the ball options. We don't get sufficient bodies forward.
 
Probably one of the most obvious money motivated moves in history. I really dislike the guy and hope he fails miserably along with Forrest
Many many moves are obviously money motivated. I don’t have any opinion of him really but certainly hope Forest fail miserably so I’ll be happy if he does to help that
