Almost single handedly kept us up final game of the season. Ill admit not the best finisher , but come on is he really that bad?

For me, he’s the perfect example of our historic wasted transfer fees. He didn’t do anything that a free transfer signing couldn’t have achieved. I was extremely happy he left ?

Saw @Ghost of Clough mention earlier that McDonald is injured.

Correct

Friday 13th……how appropriate for us right now!

Not disagreeing with you on that, but all it does is push the problem 12 months down the line.

At some point we are going to have to start signing younger players on larger contracts again, and as far as I'm aware we still have the same recruitment team that signed those list of failed signings.

We are only making very low risk signings because the EFL won't let us do anything more ?

Exactly my point. The EFL sanctions are a blessing ?

Want to elaborate on this bit? In what way are we better in the transfer market? Have you been in a coma for the past 6 months? Have a quick look at our squad list and see how threadbare we are

That implies that Rooney would have wanted our expensive 'mistakes'. Seen nothing to suggest he'd sign ordinary players on big contracts. Just hints that he might like to sign/loan good players like Delap, etc.

Imagine if we weren't under embargo then we might really be able to look at signing Grosicki.

Interesting that you interpret it that way. The implied point was meant to be that the restrictive transfer approach is creating a more sustainable business model for the club. Which I personally fully support ?

Sure. Morrison, Stearman, Allsop & Davies all on 12 month contracts under £4.5k with Jags and Baldock to come vs Blackman, Butterfield, Anya, Marriott, Shackell MK II, Jozefzoon, Camara etc etc etc ?

We could just keep praying he gets better like Blackman, Butterfield, Anya and co ??‍♂️ Take the alleged profit from Galatasary and move on….

This gets better…..making a profit on Joswiak and getting Grosiki in on a free capped until the end of the season and restricted wages meaning we don’t get stuck with a large contract. I’m loving our EFL imposed restrictions…..it’s making us so much better in the transfer market ???

It’s pathetic. If he loves Barca as much as his tears then play for free. He’s a multi millionaire with more money than he will ever need plus millions in endorsements coming through daily.

Would be immense if we sold and made a profit rather than watching him be ineffective for the next 3 seasons and then leave on a free!

LOL…..sky pundits build up Waghorn pre-game as a “clinical finisher” and “a signing under the radar”……. he was caught offside, misplaced numerous passes and caused no goal threat. Was replaced after 70 mins with Coventry losing……after which Coventry were awesome and won 2-1 ???

I thought he was awful against Real Betis. 

Agree. Didn’t upgrade on what we have and I’m happy to see him move on

I love him but please stop saying this!

Our next manager……

I hope we sign Garner for the comedy value versus Forest if nothing else!

Our next manager.....

Stearman is the 3rd player I’m sorry to report

Derby 2-1 Huddersfield 

 

Keogh with an OG to get things started.

Huddersfield to equalise just after HT due a sloppy mistake.

CKR with the winner, a screamer from nowhere when we have been struggling in the last 15 minutes.

Will be some achievement with Keogh playing for Blackpool now ??‍♂️

So I am on holiday on Norfolk coast with terrible mobile reception and no wifi (teenagers loving it). Last had enough reception to look at this at this in the morning - is there any news before I plod through all pages or just pages and pages of panic/moaning/arguments/resignation/worry? 

Only the latter unfortunately…..

I agree with Mel’s academy comments and although I appreciate I’m in the minority I would rather watch Cashin develop than Wisdom make his customary howlers, see Bird kick on rather than have another Butterfield at 4m and give Ebosele a go instead of Anya at a combined cost of approaching 10m (fees and wages).

Fully understand the passion but just for context……..Forest are in exactly the same position. Their attempted signings are just PR exercises…..Doig from Hibernian, Buchanan from Derby, Laurent from Reading and now an apparent 9m bid for Man City U23 player Morgan. None of these players will be signed and they have only signed a reserve goalkeeper to date despite also losing lots of players over the summer.

Well, isn't best case scenario we resign Curtis Davies and maybe 45 year old Jagielka and possibly Morrison?

Excuse me if that doesn't keep me up all night! 

But ironically the Rooney signing kept us all up at night with excitement…….. and he was crap followed by the CKR signing which didn’t keep us up at night and he made a massive impact.

Lets keep an open mind…….

I don't get it. 

“Duncan be our own Michael Owen” was stated…….. My joke was referencing that Duncan has more chance of being a commentator as Owen now is rather than a prolific striker. Nothing worse than having to explain your joke ??‍♂️??

I hope he's still got a chance here and knuckles down. He should get regular u23's games this season of all seasons. 

Could be our Micheal Owen. 

If you mean a BT Sports commentator, then I agree ?

Before everyone panics themselves to death…..we have a good enough squad to beat Huddersfield and Salford without any signings as it stands today. It doesn’t have to be done this week
