IlsonDerby Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Lets lock this thread now so we don't look like ******** for pining over him when he signs for Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 So looking forward to the apoplectic meltdowns and slagging of the club and owner when he ends up elsewhere. Most probably from those who've been banging on about us paying too much for crap players too. Gut instinct is that £6.5 mill is way over the odds, much as I'd like him here. Player of the year Ollie Watkins went for a 1/3 of that figure, didn't he? I'd be amazed if he or Maddison ended up at ours. Posh owner sure knows how to stir the pot though, I'll give him that.

gccrowdpleaser Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Great work from Barry Fry on drumming up interest and also implying we're not as humstrung financially as people would have you believe. Helps push the price up for Marriott and also probably helps push the price up for Vydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Never heard of him but looks like he scored plenty of goals last season. Surprised nobody on here has previously mentioned him as a transfer suggestion. Released by Ipswich? Sounds a bit poo, I'd rather we get someone more proven like Jamie Cureton.

Whisper it quietly but I've heard he's looking for a way out of Bishop Stortford. He should probably just use the A1250/A120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 So the owner says Barry and Lamps have been talking... Barry decides to say Derby are interested so Forest shape themselves and make a bid! “He’s shows a desire to join forest” he’s pushing them to make a bid. We don’t have 6.5 million id much prefer Maddison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Vydra replacement? Half the price, younger and would be on less wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get behind this if true. Sell Vyds bring this guy in for half the price which will FL some more money to bring In a couple other players.

He's talking up the competition to get you to make an offer... a good offer... quickly. In this case I think he's trying to nudge Forest to make an offer by saying Derby are in a 'better position'.
