Need a facepalm emoji reaction for this kind of thinking.
Pretty sure the women's team budget is self sufficient and the level they play at doesn't add any significant costs. In fact I guess the Forest match at Pride Park each season possibly helps the club at all levels.

Yes, we come top by average age, but if you took loans out of that list I don't think we'd be top then. What's most interesting to me is the fact that other teams have all been utilising the loan market and we've not made any moves in that regard at all.
We've been told (or led to believe) that the best players will become available for loan towards the end of the window, but is this actually true?
I was kind of expecting Portsmouth level activity over the summer. A couple of cheap signings, some loans, some frees and a low average age. But for whatever reason, it hasn't happened. Couple of weeks of window left before we really hit the panic stations.

Sounds like it is more likely a bruised bone. They would've mentioned if it was a break, surely?

I didn't say it was ok, I was trying to get this thread back to DCFC rumours.

I don't think he'd want to be playing in League 1 anyway, so we can probably draw a line under this in this thread. He'll have overseas offers if he wants to earn anywhere close to what he currently gets.

with the Green 3rd kit 😉 

Midfielder sounds like the Fornah rumour coming to fruition.
The more legs everywhere because we've been caught on the counter comment would seem to add a bit of validity to the Yiadom rumours, as he'd be quicker than our current defenders and give us different formation options.
Then a little bit about attackers at the end of the video, but it doesn't sound close there. I think we need to see how Waghorn and Washington take their chances at starting along with returns for Barkhuizen and Sibley. Midfield and defence needs to be the focus again after the start we've had to the season.
Funny how we were joking about winning all our matches 1-0 before the season, now we'd be very happy if that was the case.

Excluding loans, you're right but only just

 
We haven't had Portsmouth level activity because we've targeted a certain type of player, at a certain expense which eats up the budget more quickly.
Here's their activity.

Oooh, a rumour of an incoming signing that isn't over 30! But he's from Forest...
In all seriousness though, he could be a good addition. Seemed to have a strong start at Reading last season, before dropping out of favour when the whole team form dropped off a cliff. His contract is up at Forest after this season and I doubt they're thinking of keeping him on, so if we get him in and he does well, then maybe a good free transfer next summer.
More of a defensive midfielder, with a decent engine, so I imagine it would free up Bird/Hourihane to get involved further up the pitch and hopefully shield the defence a little bit.

London Spoons that when you've just paid a tenner for a bowl of chips and only had 5 in the thing, thought they could get away with it by putting some coriander on 

That u18s team was great to watch. It’s such a shame how things have panned out for Derby, but great to see Archie making moves for his career and getting chances in Europe.

As someone that works as a designer (I've dabbled with kits and apparel for some sports teams) and has seen first hand some submissions for fan related designs in a social media competition (for a different sports team), I'm very happy with this seasons kits so far.
Everyone will have an opinion on the kits and you will never have a design that the whole fan base will unanimously get behind. Leave it to the professionals to do the design work. There's more to it than just putting some colours and patterns on a shirt template and making sure the logos are in the correct places.

I think Waghorn returning is a solid bit of business for us in a difficult transfer window where better quality forwards are at a premium.
At this level he should be a real handful for defenders and his positional versatility can see him fitting in quite a few places across the attacking positions
