nickelbyfox Posted 20 July 2013 Posted 20 July 2013 They already have, but for some strange reason the club aren't using it to manipulate the system as Watford have done. Agreed - we could just start doing that as well
Bettsj2 Posted 20 July 2013 Posted 20 July 2013 It's a horrible thing to say, but I really think Forest are putting together a quality side! People said this in pre-season for the last two years. Ooh they've signed Ishmail Miller and Matt Derbyshire. They'll be ones to watch. Ooh they've signed Simon Cox and Billy Sharp. Would have had them here. They wont do anything this year. They certainly wont finish above us. I imagine by Christmas their dodgy owners will have done something stupid and they'll be in turmoil again.
Babylon Posted 20 July 2013 Posted 20 July 2013 But us having rich owners and spending millions was a level playing field? We weren't trying to get around rules by spending money, they are trying to bend the rules with what they are doing. IF you want a comparison it would be like our owners coming up with a was of getting around FFP by investing money in a different way. Then it would be the same.
GH1 Posted 20 July 2013 Posted 20 July 2013 Do you think we should just close down the whole Transfer Talk threads for this summer?
Guest ttfn Posted 20 July 2013 Posted 20 July 2013 It's a horrible thing to say, but I really think Forest are putting together a quality side! Pretty sure people were saying the same thing this time last year.
AnotherShitSeason Posted 20 July 2013 Posted 20 July 2013 Do you think we should just close down the whole Transfer Talk threads for this summer? Yes. We're not signing anyone.
Jaspa Posted 20 July 2013 Posted 20 July 2013 Any chance we could have a Twitter box on the homescreen that brings up everything '#LCFC', and if anything interesting comes up on that people can drag and drop/click it into this thread or something? Its anoying clicking on this and reading pages of stuff on FFP and bloody Watford

bald reynard Posted 20 July 2013 Posted 20 July 2013 Do you think we should just close down the whole Transfer Talk threads for this summer? Yes, we might as well. We clearly have got no cash (though most other Championship clubs have got no cash - such as Birmingham - and they manage to sign people on 'frees') - but Nige also probably thinks that last seasons squad is good enough ! I reckon it will take the Owners and Fans about a 6/8 weeks to latch onto the fact that he hasn't got a clue (tactically), only knows how to upset players (Danns, Beckford, SSL) or gets them to 'lose form' (Marshall, Drinkwater, Wood), picks players who've just 'lost it' (Konch, Whitbread), or keeps giving his old mates another kick when they don't warrant it (Wellens, Gally), or fails to pick the good youngsters who deserve a (decent) chance (Moore, Taft, Panayiotou, Larrauri, Cain etc). Then the sh*t will hit the fan and Top and crew will be putting the ad in Football Trader magazine ! I actually only look at FT once a week now - it's just not worth the disappointment of finding we've done bu*ger all this summer. I guess I'll regularly look again come 3rd August, but I'm not expecting any pleasure in it.

Aus Fox Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Monaco or PSG Barcelona, cheeky swap deal involving Vardy and Messi
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Barcelona, cheeky swap deal involving Vardy and MessiWell I suppose they are like for like
tylesta Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Thing i would like to know is how much would you pay for a 22 year old full italy international. these signings that watford are doing are just loans like last season, if watford don't go up whats the betting that a few will go back to udinese!!! if watford fail to go up udinese and granada could buy these players back for a couple of million, another loop hole that might be found to keep within ffp!!
Mike Oxlong Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 So we could buy Hinckley or a foreign equivalent for a quid, sell them Logan to warm their bench for 25 mill and then go on a bit of a spending spree. And it would all be within FFP?

Mike Oxlong Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 i was just saying they could sell these players back for a fee at the end of the season I'm not disagreeing with you. Seems like a loophole in FFP.
Happy Fox Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Pete O'Rourke â€@SkySportsPeteO19 Jul Former Tranmere Rovers Zoumana Bakayogo is set to join a Championship club next week. #TRFC could it be us?
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 God we really are clutching at straws about a 1 in 24 chance of somebody being linked to us now
MikeyT Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 I'm sure Pearson has some aces up his sleeve and we get one or two players in before the season starts.
WhenYourSmilingLCFC Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Pete O'Rourke â€@SkySportsPeteO19 Jul Former Tranmere Rovers Zoumana Bakayogo is set to join a Championship club next week. #TRFC could it be us? My guess would be Blackpool. Replacement for Baptiste. Northern club etc. Be suprised if its us tbh.
KFS Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 My guess would be Blackpool. Replacement for Baptiste. Northern club etc. Be suprised if its us tbh.Isn't Bakayogo a left back?
WhenYourSmilingLCFC Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Isn't Bakayogo a left back?Yeah your right haha. Sure ive seen him play centre back. Must be someone else im thinking of.
KFS Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Yeah your right haha. Sure ive seen him play centre back. Must be someone else im thinking of.He's got the attributes, I'd like him here- he's like Jeff but with the tactical training to be a LB. Jeff can play up top if we got him in.
Dan Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Fairly surprised, as it's obvious to everyone what's going on, that nobody from the FA etc has stepped in on this before the season starts. I'm not. This is the FA/FL, the most useless possible organisations going. Truly pathetic as per.
