I really dislike what Forest did in their first season, spending so much on so many players but the way they play is the blueprint we should be aiming for if we go up imo.

Sure, there are more exciting teams in the league but a team that can absorb pressure and defend will as a first principle is a great start and then have the ability to counter with some quick players. That suits a team who will naturally spend a lot of time defending against stronger teams and it suits RLB.
They won’t care about that now though, they survived and now look! That first season is all about staying up, doesn’t matter how you do it. Fair play to them I say.

I'm not saying they mind, I'm saying I don't want my club to do that. We've been the club where "it's all about staying up" before and had loads of mercenaries at the club for a pay cheque. I like our approach and identity now. For me, that's non negotiable.

I don’t think we’d go down that route but I’m absolutely desperate for us to go up and stay up. Would be ridiculously tough mind, let’s hope we’re having that discussion next Sunday.
 
IF we go up, I think we wont need that many in,

GK, LB,RB,CB,LW,RW and Striker,

but again this is chat for after the final whistle

It's going to be a tough one, and I don't think any fan knows exactly what is needed due to the significant gap. I think we just need some actual PL experience and some higher-calibre young talent at the least i'd reckon.

Let’s just see if we get there <laugh> We’ve got a tough game ahead where we’re underdogs

I really hope next Sunday we’re talking about PL targets.

Spot on! This thread is redundant.All conjecture on transfers has got to wait until next Saturday evening.

He would easily walk into most PL sides' mind... Hopefully it's with us

Wonder if we would try and keep him even if we don't go up. Absolute long shot and really ambitious but so was getting him on loan.
Be a good statement for next seasons ambition if we were able to pull it off

His wages would make it a no go. Even if we could afford it, its not a great idea to have so much of your wage budget on a single player.

Pure quality close control and awareness that. For me it's his awareness that's the main thing that makes him a cut above and is why I'm desperate to have him in the middle in the final, dictating play and keeping the pressure off our defence. Wasted out wide.
