At 204cm, will become the tallest ever player in the EPL - 1cm taller than Lacina Traore (who?) and a certain Costel Pantilimon apparently.

He's bigger than Hulk Hogan - should have picked a better Brazilian footballer name to go with it. "Largeiniho", "Grande homem" etc I hope he is quicker getting to the floor and can kick it straighter than Pantsimillion.
It would be an -ão suffix to be augmentative. Like Ronaldão, I suppose.
The Shelvey saga continues to be weird. There's a story that Rizespor have offered us 3.5M for him and we're holding out for 5M, despite the Guardian having previously reported that we'd terminated his contract.
Those pesky newspapers, reporting complete bollocks again. When their sources lie to them.
Another one I'd happily drive there and handover for free with Turner in the back seat as a bonus if they wanted him too.
Don’t think Shelvey is a Forest player I think he was let go. Pretty sure we would have violated the loan quota if he was still ours.
Chicago: Rules Analyst.
Club said Shelvey was a loan when he first moved.
Then, when it was reported that we would have breached our overseas loans quota if so, it was suddenly claimed that it was actually a free transfer.
Someone was mistaken somewhere...
This looks like a sale at whatever the loan fee was coupled with a mandatory buy-back clause at 0.

Nuno says he wants wingers which presumably means Gnonto or Summerville might still be on.
Apparently the mad culture loving Serb turned down the Saudis because he obviously wants to play competitive football. Great header of the ball. And because he is a Serb then he is obviously mental. I like this kind of signing. Might get him for 15 million Euros which is a steal as he gave Harry Kane a good kicking recently and also played well in the Conference league whenever I saw Fiorentina play.
Clearly the bright lights of Nottingham over the cultural wasteland of Florence is a big draw so I am all for this type of signing if we pull it off. As Tricky would say., “Can’t run, can kick”.
Chicago: Wanting some meat with his potatoes.
Milenkovic as the here we go (soon). I'll be rewashing the England game.
Plenty will presumably be pleased to hear that we are apparently in discussion with Ryan Yates about a new contract.
Lazard Samardzic of the Serbian midfield and Alexis Saelemaekers of Belgium and AC Milan's right wing/wingback are the latest linkages to our club.
