    I really can’t see us signing Lewis. If he’s available and within our budget, you’d think there would be a long queue of Champions
    League teams in for him.

    Similar age and profile to Neco when we signed him - has played more Prem games than Neco had, but the price is close to twice that we paid for Neco (5 England caps will do that, Neco had more like 20 but for a comedy nation).

    If you don't want the club employing cunts on the playing side, you're narrowing your options quite considerably.

    It's difficult-to-impossible to ascend to elite levels of football without at least partial cuntitude in your skillset.

    Ok. Compared to our current squad he seems even more of a cunt and it's a no from me.

    Club's posted a rapid-fire Q&A on the pitch with James McAtee for the socialz. He went with 'Justin Bieber' as his answer to favourite artist.

    Is it too late to send him back?

    Rico Lewis was excellent for City yesterday, I'd take him in a heartbeat, but not sure City will want to let him go now.

    Classic Shady.

    • Spends 3 months whingeing that Forest aren’t making any signings.
    • Forest start to make signings.
    • Decides one of them is a cunt (on minimal evidence).
    • Starts 9 months of whingeing about Forest’s signings.

    Mince & repeat.

    Assume we’ll be looking to move Taiwo out in this window.

    It's a strong possibility. There's a football argument for doing so, especially in the modern disposable development free squad buying environment. There are also good football reasons not to - we need a body of his type, we can still develop him a bit to maximise the return on a sale, he's generally a good sort to have around.

    Think if this French guy does get confirmed then it seems likely .

    Unless/until two of Wood, Jesus and Kalimuendo are missing, he’s not getting any games to develop in. Jesus as a 10 looks to have just been a giving him time on the pitch, as McAtee will be playing there if MGW isn’t going forward.

    Added to that Taiwo is 28 now, how much development is possible? More likely, it’s a decline in his physical attributes from here.

    He could be less shit than he has, under the cloud of injury, and get back to his best.

    He could - but to do that he needs games, consistently; a run of them when he is given time. I can’t see him getting that at Forest; 10 minutes here and there at best (assuming Kalimuendo signs).

    I can see him going back to Germany

    If he was 22, a championship loan would be great for that. But at his age, you cut your losses, if you can.
