Mark_w Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 Exactly the kind of signing we need, no chance. 2 2
FoxesBraun Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 (edited) Very excited by this. Him and Milenkovic looked very solid at the Euros and its not turned out badly for Forest with Milenkovic since.. Hope its not another case of Interested FC. Edited 23 January 2025 by FoxesBraun
LVFox Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 Genuinely just excited we've been linked to anyone...maybe the club are aware it's a transfer window after all! 1
Clarkey123 Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 Played full 90 last night in champions league 😂 where do they come up with this stuff. Close thread

kingfox Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 We’re fishing in an unrealistic pond. We’ll end up with someone like Jerome Opoku from Istanbul Basaksehir.
Wolfox Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 Ruud whispering sweet nothings into his ear…. Gerrit done
alanf0x Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 Anyone who thinks Rudkin could pull off this kind of transfer is deluded!!!! Wait for the ‘turned down a late Leicester approach for a move to…’
FoxinNotts Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 only way I could see this deal being done is a 'swap deal' (which never happen btw) for Okoli
AyewJoking Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 Top paid good money to spark this rumour. Nothing to see here guys, let's concentrate on getting Huth out of retirement

For a start, this is a bullshit rumour. But if it wasn't, I don't think it's extremely unrealistic. Did okay at Partizan, struggled at Monaco, did okay at Salzburg, struggled at Milan. Spending 20m on a 23 year old that hasn't quite managed to dazzle in Europe's top five leagues after two attempts (albeit being still young) sounds about right for a floundering Premier League club. The only particularly unrealistic part is I don't believe we have 20m to spend on one player. 1

And the last sentence is why I classed it as unrealistic, especially as AC Milan have already been rumoured to have turned a bid down. Loan maybe, but even then he’ll probably get better suitors than us. A player like Pavlovic comes in the same bracket as Lilian Brassier, with the situation we’re in, they’d probably hold out for better.

kingfox Posted 23 January 2025 Posted 23 January 2025 Just now, Finnegan said: Didn't he turn it down because it was Fener? Supposedly Zlatan told him to. Was in the region of £18-20 million though, surely out of our range.

For sure, I'm just being a pedantic bitch. Although, tbf, it depends. If Cannon goes for 10, depending on how his purchase (and exit I suppose) are structured it's possible we've got about 4m profit left in this period. Even acounting for a net 0 January, that still means we could sign about 20m worth of players on 5 year contracts. Given that Pavlovic wouldn't ACTUALLY be £20m as one solid fee, it's not entirely beyond the realm of possibility that we throw that much at one player if we think we can also maybe do a good loan. We wanted a full back, centre back and a left winger right? That's what Percy said our priorities were a couple weeks ago, at least. Well we just signed a versatily LB/RB for pennies, the winger is our lowest priority and could possibly be covered by a cheap loan giving a young promising winger from Europe somewhere match time. Most important of those positions to spend any actual money on and make sure you really get right is the centre back. It's not entirely outside the realms of possibility that we pay 15+ for one. 1
