Apparently linked to free agent Marcal from Wolves. Fits the new model of promoting youth at the ripe age of… 33! What the actual f u c k. Lessons learnt my arse. Kamara will go and he will be the replacement. Age isn’t everything as Cassetti proved when he turned out for us but he came from Roma and was absolutely class.
Where have you seen this? If it’s just a tweet from Daniel Moroney then you can discount immediately.
Adebayo has been injured and since he's been out L*t*n have looked far less likely to score goals. He is a handful for defenders, he worries them and it often takes two or three players to stop him which creates space and opportunites for his team mates. Not sure I'd want him though, after what happened with Gray?
For me, it was the moment he cupped his ears at us away at Newcastle; for a friend of mine it was his party antics during Covid; for many it was his inability to control a football; for others it was the size of his wages and the fee we paid for him; for some it was his attitude; for that lot up the road, it was seeing them gloat over 'agent Gray'. To be fair, there are people who will quote stats in his defence to show how good he really was. If that's the case it's a shame we couldn't sell him for a decent fee and had to loan him out to QPR. Buying a player from L*t*n is a bigger risk than buying from most other clubs. It worked out well with Springy but going after Adebayo so soon after the Gray saga is, in my opinion, just not worth it.
I don’t think Gray’s attitude (on the pitch) was a problem and the size of his wages and transfer fee were not his fault. Unfortunately he just wasn’t very good and the club was left in a dead end trying to get some value out of him because he couldn’t be sold for a decent fee.
Couple of tweets on social media saying we’re one of many clubs interested in Tom Lawrence on a free. Can’t see it personally. Only benefit is that he knows what the championship is all about and could provide some good experience. Again highly doubtful in my opinion.
Good player but there are around 8 teams in for him from the sounds of things. Poor attitude too. Would rather Wallace/Swift. Tweets seem to be based on this Mail article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...attracting-multiple-Premier-League-clubs.html
True, we didn't sign Gray directly from Luton but even then the L*t*n connection (rightly or wrongly) was used against him.
I used to think Lawrence would develop into a really good player, but he seems to have stood still since that Lampard season when they made the play-offs. Maybe he’s one of those who could blossom in a better team. I don’t know anything about his poor attitude.
Players from Udinese have already been mentioned, one which wouldn’t surprise me is Mamadou Coulibaly. Currently on loan at Salernitana this season. Apparently his deal there is an obligation to buy with conditions. If Salernitana get relegated I wonder if those conditions are broken therefore he gets shipped here.
So far players confirmed to leave. Foster Kucka Etebo Rumours to leave Kiko Masina Samir Nkoulou Rose Sissoko King Sarr Dennis Looks like it's going to be another busy Summer window. There's is absolutely no chance that Gino cannot put his hand in his pocket this window. I have no doubt they will be trying to shift a few more.
We got rid of about 10 or 11 players when we were relegated two seasons ago and didn't spend a penny on incomings during the summer. Gino Pozzo will not spend money in the Championship. Get ready for a lot of freebies and loans, obviously a few of those coming from our Italian friends. That's not necessarily a bad thing as long as the players fit what Edwards wants. But will that really happen? Doubt it.
I'm afraid he's going to have to. Even though they're some top quality freebies out there, he needs to back Rob and give him what he requires. Surely they can't BS us again
Quite. Anyone thinking we are going to be in a position to buy anyone promising is in for a shock. Lazar, Sanchez, Garner, Murray incoming.
If you're smart and have a very good coach like Huddersfield then you can create a good team on the cheap. We need to hope Edwards is f*cking amazing because we certainly aren't smart and we will definitely be doing things on the cheap!
I've not noticed these rumours being mentioned so I'll just leave them here for others to debate whether there's any truth in them; Tiago Cukur to Besiktas - 19, out of contract if 1yr option not taken up by WFC. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tiago-cukur/profil/spieler/594276 https://twitter.com/gokmenozcan/status/1526205343486943232?s=20&t=NZv9BtvS_huv6cyq2pIuLg Cyrus Christie from Fulham - 29, out of contract. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cyrus-christie/profil/spieler/158623 https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/n...rd-join-swansea-city-in-race-for-29-year-old/ Nya Kirby from Crystal Palace - 22, out of contract. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nya-kirby/profil/spieler/406633 https://the72.co.uk/273242/bournemo...bs-eyeing-crystal-palace-youngster-nya-kirby/
There are some good freebies out there if we’re smart. Pozzos Championship thriftiness might actually be prudent on this occasion. I have 0 trust in us to be smart though.
We still have a game left to play this season and already half the squad have plotted their escape route. Is it any wonder we were so abject when everyone involved knows they won’t have to suffer the consequences of their apathetic performance?
And even better they will still get clapped by our lemons in the stand after any number of record defeats.

How about Benteke from Palace? Edwards apparently likes a big, target man. Benteke does hold the ball up well, good in the air and gets on the end of crosses. I don't know his contractual position at Palace but it's unlikely he would fit Vieira's playing style. Whether Benteke would drop down to the Championship I've no idea?
Both Osborn (who was at fault for Forest’s first in the first leg) and Robinson have had year options triggered now so the point is moot.
Ross Stewart got mentioned on the Twittersphere. @lowerrous mentioned him before I believe. Looks an absolute monster in the air. By the look of him I reckon he could easily make the step up to the Championship. Will be plenty looking if they fail against Wycombe.
Oh, really? Fair enough, a non-starter then, I was hoping he might be about to be moved on and perhaps down.
Was impressed with Keinan Davis last night. If Forest don't go up I wouldn't mind us seeing if we can nick him off of Villa on loan for the season as our 'target man'.
