Fab now saying
Final, updated details of Orel Mangala deal for Olympique Lyon.
Nottingham Forest will receive £10m loan fee plus £20m guaranteed buy option.
There are also £3m in add-ons and 10% sell-on clause included in the deal.
I’ve taken the liberty of deleting his emojis. Apologies for the censorship
I'm confused I thought Fab was a guru who had his finger on the pulse and never got anything wrong?

Looks like his source (probs Marinakis jr) told him the sum and he guessed at euro instead of £. Then his source got on the phone because he didn’t want to look like a mug.
Fab has long been sucking on the teat of the highest bidder. It’s good work, if you can get it.
Added the revelation that it's permanent not a loan. Which isn't hugely surprising considering he's out of contract in the summer.
Funny how they don't mention: "Ribeiro has scored only two goals in those 10 Portuguese division three games this season."
(Dale Taylor has six in 28 at English division three level this season)
I just don't get this signing (apart from knowing Mendes was heavily involved in it).
.
Of all our signings to get upset about, this isn’t one of them.
Add Rui Silva to the big bag of goalkeeper rumours.
Danny Taylor says...
Bid for Koen Casteels at Wolfsburg last week. Asked about Aaron Ramsdale, Caoimhin Kelleher and tried twice for Sam Johnstone.
Rui Silva at Real Betis also approached. Latest is Matz Sels at Strasbourg but still other options
Depends how much we have to lay out in the summer and if we're having to sell Mangala just to line Mendes's pockets.
Just seen that Sels was bombed out of Newcastle after conceding a goal to Forest legend Aaron Tishbola against Villa. About 1:30 here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kiciyprquQ
By our standards this season, that doesn't look too bad...
Touch me in the morning.
I wonder if we sign loads of shit players on purpose*, so that we have to move them about, and keep the finances rolling?
* observable evidence would suggest that of course we do.
Seems to be rumours of Joe Worrall going to the Blunts again. Sad to see him leave, particularly to them cunts. Bit surprised we're helping a fellow relegation candidate as well
We are selling them a championship defender. We probably view that as helping us.
I thought there was probably a squad place for him here but Andy O looks better. Little point of hanging onto him.
