    You cannot legislate for speed and he is also a powerful whatnot.

    Him and Keinan and Taiwo would be lovely. I haven't forgotten Brennan but a rotation of those players would help keep players fit (especially Keinan..)

    Besides Franz Carr brought me joy because of his blind alley runs and I need someone to amuse me.

    Chicago: Speed freak.

    That's a front three for a team on a mission to get relegated.

    Hendo/Navas.

    Pfft - Lunatic please. If he re-signs I'll have his name tattooed on my arse.

    Forest legend, very happy to see what he's been able to achieve this season. However, there's a reason why we didn't keep him and there's a reason why he got dropped a couple times by Cooper.

    I am not a massive fan of Henderson but he's better (when not on crutches), and Navas is much better. We want to be improving rather going backwards.

    Nah you'de be wrong. That's a front four of Chaos. Chaos makes Gobby Klopp nervous and that I like. Let Chaos Reign!

    If you're going to suggest that Hendo is a bit shit, then I strongly recommend not suggesting he's better than Brice. FWIW I think they are both excellent keepers.

    They're good keepers but they're not great, for different reasons. We can probably do better is really my only point. Hendo is better than Brice though because he is less erratic.

    Brice isn't coming back anyway.

    Brice isn't coming back now.

    The massive frustration is that there was probably a deal to be done there at a cost that would have returned value. Compared with, say, the cost of Horvath. And Brice could have Samba'd a job for us. At least as a second keeper.

    (Ifs and buts etc...)
    If Samba had been reserve keeper then, when Hendo got injured, he would have been a less terrifying prospect than Hennessy, so we might not have gone for Navas. And our likelihood of relegation would be higher.

    IMHO, of course.

    I doubt Brice would have tolerated being a back up keeper either. Anyway, reality has worked out for him and for us.

    Rumours I have seen:

    Che Adams to Forest
    Serge Aurier to Rennes

    As discussed on Garibalid Red, no thanks to Che Adams. He isn't a bad player, but I'm looking for upgrades. Not more of the level we have.

    Serge ... fine. Thanks for your service. We enjoyed you. But I want a younger profile of player please.

    Also silly suggestions and I am going to put it out there., Adama Traore. He is a free agent and would fill a speed quota on the wing. He also would be our new Franz Carr. Blisteringly fast and very hit and miss end product. Coops could perform miracles with him. He fell off a cliff the last two seasons but he is only 27.

    Chicago: Speed freak.

    Because Jean Claude Darcheville worked out so very well....

    Traore was wanted by liverpoo, conte at Spuds and Barca a few years ago. His form fell off a Cliff when he fell out with his manager and didn’t get a pay raise which he was after.

    He is better than Darchville. Is he very inconsistent, yes yes he is. Was Franz Carr? Absolutely.

    As an end product Amand pisses on both of those fellows. He is a wrecking machine. Is he my first choice probably not be he can certainly be very dangerous. I think with Coops help Mr. Lubed biceps can do a bit of a Taiwo.

    Let’s hope he is as nice as the Nigerian if he pulls up at the WFCG.

    He probably won’t but it was a suggestion.

    Poor old Alex Mighten…

    Chicago: Well oiled machine.

    I don't have strong feelings about Adams, but I'd really like to keep Aurier. He's only 30, he fits the way Cooper plays perfectly, he's versatile, he's a good leader, and he seems to be happy here.
