Heard a rumour that Andrey Santos might be coming to us in January after being recalled by Chelsea from Forest. 

Where does he play,  Defender, Midfielder or Forward. ?

He’s a creative centre mid. He’s played as a deep lying playmaker but also further forward in a similar role to KDH for Brazil in their national youth teams. He’s played 1 game for Forest and Chelsea aren’t happy at the lack of game time.

He sounds just like what we need right now. We're struggling for creativity in midfield.

But if he can't get a game for Forest ....

It doesn't mean anything. Different Managers Different opinions of players or what the Manager wants.

I haven't seen him play but he's not at Chelsea for no reason they must have seen something in him.

Only question is we’ve already got Casadei who’s struggling for game time. Unless he’s going back the other way…

Looking for potential creative 8’s, options look very sparse, delving deep into statistics, Gronbaek looks the outstanding candidate for me, along with this guy who’s been one of the standout players in Romania.

...jut took a look!!!

...looks busy, cannot beat a man, and picks the wrong moment to shoot, not even at Fatawu's level, got to be a no!!!

lol  These are all 3/4 year old clips from when he was at Barnet. He's improved a lot since moving to Posh.

But by the same token, so must have Forest.  But now they have him, they find he's not good enough..

I really hope in the first few weeks we see the following out the door:

 

Praet

Daka

nacho 

wilf 

 

It’s sad but if we can get any money for the last 2 i think we just take it and move on. I still get the feeling that whilst ndidi has proved us all wrong, he was still riding a wave of form. I think if we shifted him and could bring in a replacement it would be best for everyone. 

 

I wouldn’t be surprised to see bids for both our nigerians from forest as they slowly get drawn back into a relegation battle. 

 

I’ll be sad to see nacho go. But this was his first real chance to put his stamp on things and he’s just not done it. Always better off from the bench, which i guess tells a story. 

 

if we could get 20m for the lot that would be good business at this point and big wages off the books.  replace them with 2 10 m players on lower wages and we’d likely be improved. A lot will come down to whether cannon steps up but if he handles himself well. Then why not just get a proper #10, a striker suited to the system and a promising player on loan. 

 

that would be enough for the squad to get us over the line imo

Is this the same Wilf who has been one of our best players this season and was massively missed throughout his injury before the international break? 

 

Easy to say just sign two 10m players on lower wages - but what happens if they don't gel and take a while to fit into the team? What does that then do to our promotion chances? Surely we won't weaken our squad at this stage and let key players walk way for free in the summer in the worst case scenario.

well there’s 2 reasons, 1 is that he may drop off, which i think is very realistic as he was performing above his level in a role like that imo. 

 

The other is purely financial. if someone will pay 5 m for a player they can get for free in 6 months i feel like it’s worth it. 

 

There’s every chance that once he knows he’s leaving the effort level drops. I like to think it wouldn’t but we’ve seen it before. If the going gets tough and we start sliding you don’t really want to be relying on players with nothing to lose.
