They've had Spurs pants down last few years £67m for Johnson and Spence 🤣

They signed him from Boro, but if Forest keep signing like they are doing, they might need to try and include it in their FFP returns anyway.

Also, apparently Hudson-Odoi was the player on Chelsea's books with the most goals for them, with only 16, which sounds like it shouldn't be true.

If they can get him up and running then that £45m for Johnson will be phenomenal business for them as that's a hell of a lot of money for him, one that Spurs may come to regret.

Has to be said, Spurs have had a pretty shoddy track record for spending relatively large sums on young British signings in recent years. Ryan Sessegnon for £25m, Djed Spence for £20m, Jack Clarke for £10m, and arguably Joe Rodon for £11m all seem like poor investments in retrospect.

Is it just me, or do Forest always seem to go absolutely mental on the last day of the transfer window? Sounds like they've got a half dozen players coming in today.

Has the name of someone that might have played for us in about 1954 so I'm all for it

No (Republic of) Ireland call-ups for any current Rams (a few ex-Rams in there, though)

More interesting is the noise coming from Wales

Looks like he’s getting his own back from the spat in March. Nice to see the gumps getting a bit of similar medicine to us last year.

To be honest, if Spurs do spend £50m on him, it'll be Forest that are laughing. I don't think Johnson's a bad player, but you'd have to be insane to even contemplate paying £50m for him.

Interesting sponsorship announcement from Forest today - a sports betting company that doesn't have a functioning website. 

Nothing dodgy about that, obviously. No doubt the big Greek's ''shipping'' business has large ties in Asia so it's one that makes sense.

And quotes from a CMO that doesn't exist:

You would never see us getting tricked into making deals with parties that aren't what they claim to be.

Given his usual response to refereeing decisions not going his way, I'd say Marinakis has gone easy on Attwell here

They must have missed Onana getting booked for time wasting on a goal kick while he was waiting for a second ball to be removed from the pitch, and Rashford getting booked for two Forest players running into each other.

Bit rude of them to turn on him after all he's done for them in the past...

We should’ve waited til the announcement of Fornah/John-Jules before we released the third kit. Then we could’ve said “I see tyrese of green…”

We're probably trying to find a third lad called Tyrese so we can say "Two's company, but Tyrese a crowd"

Playing for Aberdeen tonight against BK Hacken, properly know as Bollklubben Häcken. That can't be a real name can it? It's got to be made up.

If Nooit Opgeven Altijd Doorzetten Aangenaam Door Vermaak En Nuttig Door Ontspanning Combinatie Breda can be a real club name, anything can be

Looks like the cat's out of the bag about the new signing, then

Say what you will, but Gonzalo Montiel is a statement signing for Forest
By which I mean, they'll soon be putting out a few statements about his off the field matters

Think it could be interesting to see what the response to this is from Forest fans and elsewhere, seeing as he's currently facing charges in a sex crime case in Argentina. Innocent until proven guilty, and all that, but personally wouldn't want to be risking £10m on it.

Getting a bit of stick for it, but honestly, fair play for being able to admit when you've just not got it any more. Certainly very unusual to retire so early into the season, though.

Forest's new keeper looks like what you'd get if you put Richard Keogh and Graeme Shinnie into one of those face morphing apps.

Mildly interesting little factoid popped up about the Tranmere vs. Barnsley match going on right now. The last time they met in the League Cup was back in November 1999. Tranmere's keeper that day was Joe Murphy. Tranmere's keeper today is the very same Joe Murphy. Almost feels like that shouldn't be possible.

Is it too early to say QPR will be Quite Possibly Relegated this season?

I don't understand why people think he won't score goals, I'd heard that Rhodes has been on fire lately
