Their recruitment strategy (such as it is) is just bewildering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 9 hours ago, Reggie Greenwood said: Not sure ( apart from cross transfers to Greece ) how these haven't smashed FFP yet , they must be very close if not or perhaps there are 40 odd players being invited to a "bakery visit " Arter is a good signing, Freeman was a good signing . Colback a 50/50. However they all play the same role . They also bought some bloke from Sweden who plays the same roll. They also have sow and Watson and Yates who play similiar roles- maybe a bit deeper . That's a lot of players for two/three positions and probably 130 k a week in wages . Forgot that Silva bloke - have the Greek parent club bought him for 10 million yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JfR Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 50 minutes ago, SaintRam said: I was gonna say this seems crazy with clubs having so much difficulty selling in this market and the introduction of the squad cap. Aren't they at 40 or something? That's 15 players they're not allowed to register ? If one takes their first team squad to be all players given a squad number, plus the three players over 23 under contract who have not been given squad numbers, their total squad stands at 37 players. EFL rules state that "under 21" players are exempt from being included, with their definition of an "under 21" player being a player that is not on loan from another club and was born on or after January 1st 1999, so that means Loic Mbe Soh, Alex Mighten, Brennan Johnson and George Shelvey aren't included in the squad list, but that still leaves them with, at present, 33 players to fit onto a squad list of 25. Doing the same with Derby, we have 30 players given squad numbers, plus FloJo makes 31, with Max Bird, Louie Sibley, Morgan Whittaker, Lee Buchanan, Jason Knight, Jordan Brown, Harrison Solomon and Ola Ibrahim all not counting towards the squad list, making a squad of 23.

I've only got us down for 20 over 21's Roos, Marshall, Ravas Clarke, te Wierik, Davies, Forsyth, Wisdom, Byrne Bielik, Shinnie, Evans, Holmes, Rooney Lawrence, Jozwiak, Ibe, Jozefzoon Marriott, Waghorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter two are both 21, but aren't 21 by the EFL's definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Is... is that a leaf print? Following that logic, I'm now expecting, nay, demanding a fleece third kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 There really isn't anything wrong with that kit aside from the Forest badge. It's a really nice, unique top otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I honestly think that Forest might be taking the piss a little now with these signings. We're talking nearly 60 players in 2 years. I've played on Sunday morning teams with a lesser turnover than that, plus the wagebill now must be exceeding £40m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
