This system cannot work without it. Will Hughes would have been epic in this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's unrealistic... But Drinkwater on loan until Christmas would do a job. Evans could be the answer but not seen enough. Could even be Huddlestone but question whether we want to find that out over the next few weeks. I expect Evans to start tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'd take a chance on Lansbury, on loan. I'm not sure how confident I would be attaching a permanent deal on the end of it, but he's certainly a player that could do the 'Bryson/Johnson' role & he's a better footballer technically.

Would they let him out on loan to a rival without a compulsory purchase attached to it? Probably cost a fair few bob and looking at his career he’s yet to complete a full season, 36 games for Forest one year is the best it got.

Well he hasn’t and doesn’t look anywhere near the villa team which sort of puts him in the Butterfield position- swap him with his wages part paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffle Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Peterborough United have a record of discovering striking talent. Dwight Gayle for example. They have signed Dembele Who played against us for Grimsby last season. He will be their next talent who they make a profit on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but I think if we were to pay his wages which is clearly the issue they will be open to it. He didn't even make the squad at the weekend, McGinn has knocked him out of favour. It depends on a lot of things, but they're paying him £40k-a-week I think & if he isn't in the squad then it's a lot of money wasted. Fortunately it's a type of player we could really deal with at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd take him on loan for the season if we don't have to guarantee the purchase in the summer. If we could get him back to how he was at Forest then he's a very good player at this level.
