Sunbury Fox

Am I the only one who thinks he could be developed into a central striker? He has good pace, excellent off the ball movement, and is composed in front of goal. He also a knack for finding space in the box eg last night when he almost scored with a header with his first touch.

Makes £25m for Skipp look like a bargain. This is why the Greedy 6 are so dominant when they can flog off their unwanted tat for huge fees.

Agree entirely. And yet if the rumours are true, Cooper is intent on adding Ayew to the squad, who, like BdcR, is all about work rate and attiude, as opposed to flair and creativity.

If we are planning to offload Iversen then we might need a GK on loan as well. Otherwise, until Jakub is back, we are an injury to Mads from having Ward starting in the PL again. That is too much of a risk.

First half was embarrassingly bad on and off the pitch (only Facundo and Mads could take much credit). Spurs let us off big time as they should have been out of sight by the time we scored. From the moment we scored, however, we had the better chances, even if they still dominated possession. We need to try to play with urgency and make games a scrap to have a chance of staying up, as the O'Neill team did back in the day. That team were masters of set pieces, though, and that is something we must improve on as you can get so many cheap goals that way, even if you're being outplayed. Look at Everton last season.

Just don't want him end of. One older player like that to is fine but not 2 - and we've already got Reid. We need more flair, not more grunt and effort.

Don't spoil a good evening.

Even in the horror show that was the first half tonight, this boy looked class. Really looking forward to seeing him play more for us.

One of many depressing elements tonight is seeing a keeper as good on the ball as Mads being asked to hoof the ball long time and again.

An embarrassingly one sided half. Facundo the only bright spark.

RL just said that Okoli not fit enough to start which is why Vesty starting.

Imagine starting a PL season with a weaker team than we fielded most weeks in the Champo.

Christ, me too.

He deserves to start after his excellent form last season. What's Reid done to deserve a start? Didn't score a goal in pre season, unlike Mav.

Yet more evidence that Cooper is clueless.

Doesn't fancy Ricardo or Mav, by the look of it either. Astonished Reid is picked over Mav.

No Ricardo and bloody Reid over Mav. FFS.

Pre-season performances, Forest's hideous football under him and the type of signings that he is pursuing. Hope he proves me wrong but I'm not confident.

We've sold over £600m worth of players are still in the sh1t. It'll be the wages that are killing you, I suspect.

I expect to see this, given the number of donkeys we'll be fielding!

Probably up front, given how clueless our manager appears to be.

Problem is that we don't have many high value players left in the squad. Fatawu and Mads are the only 2 that we could potentially get big money for now, I think. Cooper is busy filling up the squad with even more players with no resale value.

This would be an exciting signing so it definitely won't be happening.

Would love to see this happen but I'm working extremely hard to avoid building up my hopes yet again, only to find that we end up signing someone like Ayew instead.

Season long loan with Arsenal covering half his wages?
