Nope, Fab says it’s off again. He’s not coming.
Might be a blessing, not seen or heard too much to get excited about regarding him.
-
Julien Laurens basically said that Forest aren't good enough for him, and it was expected it would be a bigger champions league side that would be in for him. Wherever that was.
Hard to know from show reels...but his movement, link up play (lots of backheels in there - tick), general ability on the ball, and finishing (foot and head), look good. Obviously a lot of what happened in those show reels isn't happening in our league. No idea if it would ultimately work out, and it seems like he wont come to us anyway...but not a terrible punt from the club. I've seen us in for worse.
-
He's just a fucking Mexican Nicky Maynard. Cheerie bye.
-
Dale Taylor has signed a new contract. But don't worry, he's not the new Gimenez/Nketiah because we're loaning him to Wigan.
-
Some light linkage with Brian Brobbey of Ajax (nickname Mister), although no suggestion of imminent swoopage by the Premier league basement boys.
I roundly approve based entirely on him being called Brian and also (so the last thing wasn't entirely) the fact that, unlike Gimenez and the Egyptian winger from Germany, I have actually heard of him and seen him play a game of football and he kicked that football with decency!
-
There was a suggestion yesterday that Bayer Leverkeusen were interested.
Also:
-
Forget it, I want Mr Brobbey. Maybe the delegation will call into Amsterdam en route.
-
We have no idea who else is on the club’s list / swoopage radar etc… but if it were me I’d be inclined to go for a loan at this late stage, & then go again in January if necessary. We don’t want another Ayew / Origi “anyone will do” signing who we then struggle to move on.
Sosa has played up front. And there’s always the Dennis patio option…
-
I'd imagine Udinese could be persuaded to part with Keinan on loan.
-
Cheeky. Don't think he would be a good fit without SSC and the big man on the left out plan. Even if fit.
-
Nostalgia doesn't care about your so-called reality.
-
I think Jota Silva might also be an option up front, from what I read when we signed him.
-
Don't get me wrong. I've got bags more affection for that bunch of loan players, that came together and reached a quarter of a century high, than for the current champ manager Carlos kickaballs*. That team under SSC might be the last forest team that I will be truly delighted by.....even if we did spawn promotion on the back of an atrocious refereeing display.
Was happy to see yesterday that Rockford is back playing, knocking on the first team door, and maybe even central midfieldish.
But it's gone.
* Not their fault. It's football that's broken. They didn't do it.
-
I think one would get affection for this bunch of players too if they turned out to be good and won something. It's as simple as that. Nobody liked the playoff squad that much when the season began. Some of us were pining for Hughton and Joe Lolley.
-
So what broke football in the last 30 months. Or are you just jaded about your team being in the Premier league?
-
Your question contains an idiotic assumption that doesn't apply. So let me not answer it.
Football has always had sub optimal things about it. Sometimes an individual thing becomes a deal breaker (the leed fans behaviour after the European final in the seventies, Derek Pavis owning notts, are just two examples of 'she cut her hair' moments in my immediate family), more often it's a combination of things, or a personal transition.
Since the circumvention of collective governance of English football, at the advent of the 'ship, it's been growing and also dying. The opposite of levelling up, an erosion of competition, fairness, and a pre eminence of the haves over the have nots. The balletfication and muddle of what was a simple and physical game, to a complicated arcane exhibition of 'we have more than you, and you can't touch us'.
The SSC thing had no fucking chance of happening, and was achieved through football things. Predominantly. A miracle.
It wasn't that anything since has quantum level happened to have me change state. It's more that the miracle of promotion temporarily lured me back in. To a tiny localised degree.
