Old Fox

He is a quality centre half when fit and would undoubtedly strengthen our squad and probably starts too!

I know we have criticised some of the dealings but the above is a great step forward in that nearly all of our talented youngsters have been loaned to get game time which is a big step forward - a number of the above could be saleable or squad assets depending upon which division we are in - great work by the loan team!!

But on £10m a year on wages

They are both bang average - different strengths but Iversen is not great either

Or Vince Hilaire

He would make a great signing for a Saudi club - top top Belgian international centre half in his prime - come on you know you want to Saudis put in a cheeky £40m offer and you may get a bargain !!!!

I would snatch your hand off for DCL.- I know he has injury issues but when he is fit and has service he is different gravy - he has kept Everton up over the years and would take him over Broja or Fofana

I hope it’s the former as the latter part of the sentence helps us not!! if he was fit I would have been shipping him out as preseason and generally he’s way off it !

I will have what you have been smoking - is it expensive?

Never earned the money that Top Prem players earn and came up through the leagues and this is life changing money - I do not blame him as he has put his family and their future instead of his footballing career - he is a good guy and he deserves this security - pity he leaves the prem but at least it weakens BFC!

????

I thought you were being serious until the second part of your sentence - half decent - never

He might also sit on the bench behind Vesty, Coady, Faes and Okoli - it’s a no brainer he has to get first team football at a level he can gain experience without too much pressure

We have not spent the money we have to send him out on loan - before we got relegated we may have spent £15m for potential but not this season and not likely to do so again in the near future!

He would be an excellent signing - different to what we have and a great dressing room leader too!

DJed Spence would be a good addition

That is not saying much tbf….none of them are prem league ability

Drivel……………he put him on enough to see him need further experience elsewhere……physically stronger than who ?

He’s not ready just face up to the fact he’s not ready physically or in terms of footballing to play in the first team in the prem - i think we have had probably the worst preseason in 25+ years with the platform we have and watched all the preseason and the lad still overplays and try’s too much - similar to what BR said 2-3 years ago and he needs to go on loan and play for a decent footballing championship or league one team - playing him in the crock of shite will not help him or us

Those saying he was too old etc are slightly quieter now and also Ayew has firmly showed it’s not the case in management thinking but why o why we never went for him and greaves over Okoli and Ayew I will never know - Ipswich have far more chance of surviving than we do but some of the decisions KdH, Ndidi, Vesty, Ayew, Okoli, Skipp, BCDR…….on top of cooper has to be the worst preseason since we had Peter taylor here - dreadful and sadly it will cost us as there is no way we are staying up with this squad and management plan but worst of all we won’t even have a chance come the January window imo as it will be long over !

Moyes over potter every time in the situation we were always going to be in - we need someone who can work with what we have and find a way to compete - Moyes and Nolan would have and would be perfect !!

We do need another centre back 100% - we need one that can play at the prem level !! Faes and Vesty together are not good enough and I don’t get the Okoli signing at all when someone like Greaves was available …… ridiculous signing

I agree it’s been bang average if not really poor but we definitely should not have spent it all on a striker we should have however bought 3 starters who add quality and been better value - we have for some reason seemed to have just bought mediocre players - low risk, experienced but limited players……..really under whelming but a bit like our management appointment so so strange compared to the last 10 years of running the club when we seem to have been innovative. We will have wasted an instant promotion and we will have to rebuild again next season in the championship and sadly it will have been a missed opportunity and the gap will grow even wider and maybe it will take 5 years to get back this time !

He has to take it at face value as he sees it tbf - Riccy was particularly poor preseason although he was not the only one - I for one just don’t see what VK gives us at all and would rather have Riccy at RB and JJ at LB but time will tell

Insane - Ipswich were at the best club side in the world arguably and Forest are probably an equal if not better than Fulham - personally did not expect a win but if we are to have any chance of surviving you need to be competitive at teams like Fulham with a threat - we were completely second best and only one team was ever going to win the game - don’t expect miracles but don’t be deluded either as we will have no chance of survival based upon the two showings so far! Pick three teams worse than us !
