Sheff Utd in for Jon Swift at Reading at a bargain £3.5m.
Looks like a buyers' market... |  | | |  |

To be fair, FFP wasn't in place when all this money was being splashed about by our owners in the same way Chelsea (then City) were doing. We had rich owners who could afford to do it and were prepared to do it. Why - at that time would - we feel overly concerned?
Now that Forest (and other clubs) have seen the punishments dished to us (and to a lesser extent others), then I'm sure if we were Forest fans, we'd be very concerned and asking a LOT of questions. |
I think we did start to wonder when they were signing Sandro with half a knee. And the farce with Samba, is he Rangers or isn't he? And Cesar AND Green.
Obviously we have some (often armchair) fans who will always expect us to be signing the latest fashionable striker, whatever his back story. But a lot of us are actually preferring bringing on our own young players and eking out the ageing years from players like Rangel and Cameron. If I were Forest I'd hate the half-arsedness of some of their players the same way I did about Traore, Wright Phillips, Kranjcar and Assou-Ekotto. |  | | |

Brentford have their Benrahma replacement - Swedish forward Saman Ghoddos, a man I am sure we have been linked with more than once in the last few years. |  |

Scott McKenna is today's Nottingham Forest signing. Obviously heavily linked with us a year ago. Would be an eighth senior centre back in their squad. | | | |

I would say they’re really going for it this season but this seems to have been the case for years and years. |  | | |

Left out of the squad for today's game, radio talk is Forest being the team involved. |  | | |

Can only mean they've received a bid for Worrall... surely.... unless they just spent £5m on that PSG kid for squad depth. |  | | |

Brave club who bids for Worrall the way he's been playing recently. | | | |

This is farcical at Forest. How do they have so much money to pay for this enormous wage bill?! How are they not breaching FFP are setting themselves up to. How is this sustainable? Why are they signing players when they’re on the verge of sacking their manager? The new fella they hire may not like who they’ve signed and want to bring in his own players. He’s surely want some input into signings!
I don’t understand it. They’re a basket case.
I want them to go down now. It would be hilarious. |  | | |

I used to have a sneaky regard for him but he looked badly out of touch against us. |  |

I was having a conversation with somebody about this last night and it strikes me as a bit of a vicious circle. If you're moving to Nottingham Forest now, when you know full well the manager is about to be sacked, you know they've got a squad of 33 senior pros now and rising, you know they've got ever increasing number of players without a squad number at all, some of whom have only signed very recently (Bong), you're doing that purely for the money. I'll sign for Lamouchi now, and it might be Mick McCarthy next week and I'm out on my ear after a week, but I don't care I'm doing it anyway because the money's so good.
If you're Forest, why would you want a player like that? Surely it's an alarm bell to you if somebody is keen to move to you now?
Part of the reason they keep signing players and never get any better - anybody that would go there at this moment is exactly the sort of cnt they need to be avoiding. | | | |

Decent player and would have a decent buy for us... however he had an issue up there with the group that went out and then had to self isolate.
Aberdeen need the money and If they get 5 million that’s good business for them as they are moving stadiums and will need the money.
McKenna may come into the category of a big contract at forest will set him up for life |  | | |

If they pay £5m for Scott McKenna somebody needs to stage an intervention. | | | |

Sam Hutchinson who was apparently training with us for a long time is joining FC Pafos in Cyprus (naturally) on a 2 year deal. | |

A friend of a friend told me they are funding all the transfers with the profits from the owner's organ harvesting company 
The changing rooms at the training ground must be the size of an aircraft hangar. I can picture the advert for their next manager: "Wanted: Head coach for Midlands based football club. Must have a photographic memory and no history of claustrophobia. Candidates with crowd control experience preferred".
Forest's player recruitment is right up there with monarch butterflies and wildebeest as one of nature's great migrations 
Right, time for my pills... |  |
