NottsRam77 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I think they hype their players better than we do genuinely think they’re the Peterborough of the champ because they have a track record of selling some decent players dawson , jenas, Reid, Antonio, etc etc prem clubs happy to pay that premium so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't want them to go out of business. Their implosion last year was the highlight of the season for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio is the only recent-ish sale to make an impact. Everyone else recent has crashed and burned, they don't sell decent players, they sell average players for decent fees.

Millenniumram Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 You hate to say it, but Forest’s negotiating team is clearly very good at their job. Getting top dollar for only half decent players. Our negotiating team is so bad they somehow managed to make Exeter accept less money for Ollie Watkins from Brentford than we were offering!

I dunno mate, maybe it was the fact that we managed to knock out Borussia Dortmund from the Uefa Youth League and only get knocked out because we got the hard side of the bracket, maybe it was that our academy was champions of England the season before last, or because last season Sibley, Knight, Bird, Bogle, and Lowe all played regularly but we also used Whittaker, Hector-Ingram, Jordan Brown. Or how about the fact we have a cat 1 academy and Forest don't. But apart from that, you're spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forests academy have also just been crowned champions of England. . . despite also not being category 1, which I’d suggest is a bigger achievement They have had players such as Lascelles, Darlow, Cash, Burke, Osbourne, Morgan, Bamford. All of which are or have played in the premier league, one even captained the side that won the premier league with Leicester then take into account the fees Forest received for those players I get the fact that our academy is our jewel in the crown and it’s seen as blasphemous to even dare to question its end product but you cannot deny that up to now, Forests academy has ****** all over ours with nowhere near the levels of investment or category 1 status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrick/Hughes era was more luck and coincidence than through any investment. No right-minded Derby fan can knock their production line of being able to get top money, without even selling them to Olympiakos, for their often average talent. With that said, first team academy breakthrough success is often due to first team circumstances. Just as when we had to play the aforementioned Hughes and Hendrick because we had zero money and were desperate, the same can be said with practically every single one of Forests as they have had transfer um bongos, been in managerial and ownership turmoil for a while, whilst not challenging at the top end. We were consistently at the top end trying to get promoted, and at that point, it takes an unbelievable young talent to come into the first team to take the place of a multi-million buy. Even now, id say the peel back of the spending and specific managerial appointment directed to use the academy is a circumstance... With all of that said, if we come out of this coming era with a bag of Maltesers, a packet of monster munch and a rusty spoon for Sibley, Bird and Bogle then the club needs seriously looking at because these are young English talent that top clubs should be looking to spaff large amounts on just as we see up and down the league every year... Lloyd Kelly £12m, Eze £19m, Cash £15m. Guess we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
