McRamFan Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 One of the worst things McClaren did was bring in highly paid players which really put the backs up of other players who were already at the club. Miller on 18k a week is laughable really. I think the recommendations came from Steve and renumeration for players was by a 'special' board and player agents knew they could fleece them.

Cam the Ram Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah you seem to blame Steve for the high wages but don't managers usually just identify targets and it's the chairman who agrees the contract details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Didn't Forest have a'Transfer Acquisitions Panel' - or did Doughty get rid of them before McClaren arrived? I genuinely can't care less remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They've just given a 5 year contract to Osborne. A kid no one had heard of (not even through England youth caps) until 4 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nailed-on international, will lead them to their third star. Best player in the Championship - ever. Already worth £50 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I watched a bit of the game against Bournemouth, Osborn didn't look bad. He reminded me of a poor mans Alex Mowatt. I guess none of you will get that reference, so I will say a really poor mans Jeff Hendrick type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoners Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 He's a decent player that has shown a lot more heart and desire that some of the 'established superstars' we have.Will be a great player or an average one? Far too early to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Those established superstars that were injured and cost you promotion? You're replacing them with a kid now? Are they planning more injuries then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a great player or an average one? Far too early to say Been a while any of your players have shown that. If he was any good Chelski would have bought him and loaned him out to a well managed footballing club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a great player or an average one? Far too early to say I don't buy into superlatives either - the same could be almost said about Hughes, although I think he's above average already - in his case 'good' or 'great' are the two likely outcomes, but players do level off or even crash and burn. A level head is required. If he's not as good as he thinks he is (and that goes for anyone), the only way is down. The last 'great' player at Derby or Forest , in my opinion, was Colin Todd or perhaps Peter Shilton. Others might disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
