Wilfred Ndidi

[AjcW]

Yeah i'd drop the FFS Forest stuff too.

 

The majority of the squad live there or near there, so for Wilf and Nacho it's an easy destination and they're in the Prem.

Think people massively under estimate how big a deal it is to have to uproot your whole family. 

 

Wilf is going to be extremely settled in the area. 

 

[Lako42]

See if he can help get them relegated like he did us. 

[The whole world smiles]

People need to ask themselves what they would be more disappointed with, wilf leaving or wilf signing a 4 year deal on similar terms to what he's on now.

Sell Ndidi take James McAtee on loan and then we are not putting a square peg in round hole and making ndidi into something he is not.

We have to be careful that we're not giving ourselves too much to do next summer.

 

If we have purchase options on Yunus and, say Fatawu, then in the event of us wanting the pair that's £20m eaten up. If we go up, then whether we bid for Casadei or a replacement, there's another £20m. Doyle could be around the same. And then another CM...

 

You could easily be talking about a £50-60m outlay just to maintain the quality that we already have. If we're in the FLC again we'll be a lot weaker. If we're in the EPL then, with no assets to sell, we'll be unable to bring anyone else in apart from further loans.

 

It's vital that we use this time - and the opportunity to bring in players for lower fees, and blood inexperienced players - to our advantage, and foster new talents that enable us to return to our pre-2021 way of operating. As it stands, we have the new keeper and perhaps one or two academy products that could qualify. But I'd like to see those younger signings in the lower price bracket that we can bring along now and give the game-time to be worth a lot more, in terms of what they offer us on the pitch and financially off it, down the line.

Call me old fashioned, but are clubs allowed to agree personal terms before getting permission/agreeing a fee with the club? Or did it get to the point it was such an abused rule, everyone just chooses to publicly ignore it without shame?

Sadly, it's another of those insidious practices that have become so prevalent that it's just become part of the game. It's a bit like diving. A decade ago (maybe more!) it was seen as poor form, as a dark art. Now players 'have a right to go down' and even get criticised for not going down to 'win' a penalty. 

 

I realise I sound like a bitter middle-aged man here, but it does seem that when new ways of cheating are conceived, it just becomes a matter of time before it's normalised, rather than being stamped out. The more lucrative the cheating is financially, the quicker it's legitimised.

Might take a burden from you by changing your username, looking forward not back etc

As you said they are not supposed to but still do it, clubs don’t tend to officially bid until agreements with the player, take Kane’s recent move to Germany, if he had said he was not interested in the move then Bayern wouldn’t have kept coming back for him

I'd honestly have rather had Abigail Breslin at CB than Daniel Amartey. 

 

At the age she was in this film (jesus, how is she 27 already.)

 

And I'd definitely rather have Alan Arkin in goal than Danny Ward. That's Alan Arkin now, too. 

 

I’m sorry to say I have some bad news for you about the late, great Alan Arkin…

I really hope that this time next season we are picking off some of forests talent while they are planning for life in the championship.

 

Agree, but finding forest talent apart from Gibbs White is rather difficult. Yates, Worrall etc must be amongst the least talented players ever to have played top flight football.

We can still say no. We don't have to accept.

[urban.spaceman]

Only took 17 years  

[HarryDee8]

Did anybody watch the game yesterday. He scored a peach and assisted a beauty

 

Almost had a 2nd goal at the end lolll

[Buzzell]

Surprised he played last night if rumours are true of him wanting the move and personal terms agreed.

[DezFox]

Forest will sign ndidi and THB but that’s fine as we have soumare and jannick! 😂

go sign chair from QPR i say

Personally don’t think they’ll replace him. We would still have KDH, Casadei, Praet and McAteer who can play the role.

I don't want him to go. Especially not to Forest.

I mean it's not like Morgan didn't play for them before us.

 

Players go to rival clubs, the faster people accept it's a money/business decision the better. 

 

Not even Leicester born, bred, trained footballers would turn their noses at forest if they knew wages would be doubled. Money talks on these times and you cant blame them. Gotta make that cheddar while you can.
