Suhari Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 So... Stephens & Bednarek out - Caleta-Car in Romeu out (sob) - Garner or AMN in. Redmond out - Gakpo in. Plus a cheeky loan or two (Vale? Random striker?) Too much to ask for!? 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamSaintJames Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 50 minutes ago, DT said: My guess is Gakpo (just, by the skin of our teeth) (I bloomin hope), AMN on loan, and Bednarek out to whoever for around 10-15mill. Stephens perhaps to Bournemouth too. Oriel gets very late move It’s rare for me to say this but I agree. The Caleta-Car rumour I don’t see happening. Bednarek will be 50/50, I was surprised he was in the match day squads given his imminent departure a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garner is going to Everton. Redmond - who knows anymore. I don’t see a loan striker coming in, maybe in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayrivers Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 Yeh I very much think Gapko is the forward player, rather than a pure out and out striker.

S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 Wolves have confirmed the signing of Sasa Kalajwhatsit. £18m I think I saw the fee as. Be interested to see how he does, could be a very good signing. Everton about to announce Garner as well by all accounts. £15m. A lot has been made of Forest signing loads of players, having to replace loan players etc, so why didn't they go back and get Garner as he was absolutely critical for them last season. That doesn't help alter the feeling that their approach is incredibly scattergun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamSaintJames Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 Forest will do ok, but I think come the winter they will slip down the table like we did last season. They won’t maintain league status by signing 300 players, it just unbalances the team. They’ve gone very scattergun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have liked Kalajdizic 'in addition' to a Gapko type, as he looks like a power house (and adds more height to our spine). But maybe we're focusing on more athleticism and pace across the 3 rather than just tall types. I'd say AMN fits the profile of a midfielder we'd want rather than Garner, we'll see what happens with that.

They won’t maintain league status by signing 300 players, it just unbalances the team. They’ve gone very scattergun. At present Nottm Forest are living and playing - with a modicum of success- on adrenalin. Back to the EPL and massive social media numbers means they are fully in the circus that is EPL now. They will run through walls and outperform. But this cannot be sustained all season whoever they buy. Adrenalin runs out, the honeymoon period eventually wears off, and when it does, when it gets harder and harder and losing becomes default - will the players look to their fellows and manager and know that they can trust them as they've been there before? Doubtful. Saints have made a career out of knowing how to avoid relegation in those circumstances. We got a PHd in it you might say. Our recruitment this window is way better than theirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown he has the ability to lead the line. As you say keeping it up is the quality of a top player, consistent high level performances. Part of that comes as a result of the coaching process. I think he will prove to be that 10 goals a year player but we need 2 of those in reality, which could possibly be Gakpo. I'd love to see him plus another striker but Mara is still to blossom. These next 2 days will either leave us praying we have minimal injuries/suspensions or truly excited by what we could achieve this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shields will know him well, contract is out in 2024 and his agency is already pretty familiar with the club (Bertrand, Broja and Simeu’s agency). He’s highly regarded in City’s academy and he had 29 G+A in 20 games last year for City U18.

Perfectly sensible given the window closing. Not signing Garner could be as simple as that they believe they've signed better and don't need him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
