Babylon Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 When can we start saying "big spending forest"... Or is it just us who get tagged with that shit. Absolute joke they are since he arrived. "We need to meet FFP"... Next day he spends £7m.

"We need to meet FFP"... Next day he spends £7m. thought that myself, seems like promotion or bust for them this season.
Dan Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 I cannot for the life of me get my head around how Forest meet FFP regulations. He's a good forward but I think it's fair to say Forest have firmly been "Peterborough'd".
Corky Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 Who is Emad Alqahtani? He seems to be close mates with Fawaz and has also nicked Mr Bean's attire Is he part of the club?
Tinman Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 @JohnVerrall: Unfortunately a club of Posh's size has to accept a bid of £5.5 million. A lot of money for a player with as many flaws as Assombalonga.
One Legged Beaver Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 I retract my comment about him being a good signing if that is his price. Unless he can somehow fire them to promotion, but to be honest that would be even more of a surprise than Burnley's promotion last season.
Soar Fox Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 Absolutely ridiculous money for championship and league one strikers nowadays. In 12 months Peterborough have sold Dwight Gayle and Briit Assombalonga for a combined £12 million pounds,
orangecity23 Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 Good article on the comedy gift that is Leeds United here: http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/leeds-united-fc-massimo-cellino-chairman-ben-machell-921?utm_source=vicetwitteruk
Super_horns Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 Understand we might get 3 million or so for a player who hardly played for us! Not bad...
CosbehFox Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 Typical Fawaz though. Gets a load of stick selling two players, so to make sure he keep his fan worship and all around ego; he splashes the cash excessively.
Stadt Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 Well lets not go mad! We couldn't possibly compete with those figures Lamby posted a while back. God knows how they'll comply with FFP!!Don't forget the world class catering
Poiseuille Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 They go and sell 2 young promising players, against the will of the new manager and fans, for a combined £5m, to come in line to meet FFP....then the next day sign a league one striker for £5.5m.....WTF!!?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Guest ttfn Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 Just been chatting to a posh supporting mate about this. He was basically of the opinion that as he barely moved, £2.5 million would have been good money. When you think that CMS scored about as many goals, worked his bits off for the side and cost slightly more than half as much and still flopped in the Championship, £5.5 million is hilarious if it wasn't already.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 *Apparently* Watford see a big chunk of the fee.
separator Posted 6 August 2014 Posted 6 August 2014 *Apparently* Watford see a big chunk of the fee. and Barry Fry will see 10% of it to... allegedly... or so I read somewhere. Bit gutted by this as I won quite a bit backing him to score last season, no doubt that will dry up now he's with Forest. Lets hope the optician at the Forest medical fails him.
johnny the fox Posted 7 August 2014 Posted 7 August 2014 this young lad better deliver or forest will be fooked... my god that sounds good..
J.Lisemore Posted 7 August 2014 Posted 7 August 2014 For a fee rising to 8 million, they've absolutely had they're pants pulled down. I've been hearing for a long time that he isn't what he's all cracked up to be. With that money, as we all know, comes pressure. Will be a very interesting season for Forest.
carloskickaballs Posted 7 August 2014 Posted 7 August 2014 3 minute history reel, just about sums it up Where is Leicester's history reel?
foxfanazer Posted 7 August 2014 Posted 7 August 2014 That's a mental fee! Looks a decent player but massively unproven
rico Posted 7 August 2014 Posted 7 August 2014 Where is Leicester's history reel? too much to cram in
lgfualol Posted 7 August 2014 Posted 7 August 2014 Heheheh Forest. He'll get some goals no doubt, but wow 5.5m? Burnley can't even spend that much money. If they dont get promoted I cant wait to see the meltdown.
kingcarr21 Posted 8 August 2014 Posted 8 August 2014 never been so excited to watch Blackburn vs Cardiff. Just need some football to watch
