I guess I was just impressed that Forest seemed to be recruiting within a set budget and have gone against that by paying one player so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCOwls Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Set budget but its still totally insane the money theyd spent before even signing Lingard already soent 70 million on 4 players? It shows how much money needs to spent just to have a sniff up there its a totally different beast as for Lingard we had him on loan back in 2014/15 and he was utterly useless for us, although to defend him a little bit wed started going against what got us into a promotion push, Morris had got his mitts involved by the 2nd half of that season and that was the collepse from top to 8th. not all on Lingard is what Im trying to get at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Jesse Lingard. Signed a one year deal so it’s £10m in wages. If he keeps them up then they get however many hundreds millions more in tv money. Don’t get me wrong, it’s batshít mental for a newly promoted team and my good mate who supports Forest is mortified, but it just goes to show the massive disparity between the PL and the rest. That said, he is going to have to play out of his skin every minute of every game to come close to justifying that pay packet. Truly insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of him and Dele are embarrassing, shocking they played so much for England There can't have been many players in the history of the game with as little desire to play it as Dele. He's absolutely laughable and Everton's price to go down gets more tempting if he's going to be in their first team. Lingard is a man-child but I think he's more in tune on the pitch than Dele is. I think he'll offer Forest a bit of extra quality. Not sure he's what you need in a relegation scrap, but I can see that not being an issue for Forest anyway. Fancy them to do alright. I think people will be linking Brennan Johnson with a serious money move by the time we break for the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fulham reporter said its a snip and he was very good for them last season and will be missed be them, so looks decent business to replace Spence for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Arsenal sign Zinchenko from Manchester City. £30m deal, which includes £2m in add-ons. Good business I think. "This is a boyhood dream come true, because I was a massive fan when I was a kid," said Zinchenko. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFCOwls Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 More an ego in my opinion hes literally just walked into Nottingham and made it all about the “jlingz” show It might have the opposite effect and it actually takes the pressure of the others, what with it being the lingard show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Arsenal have made some good signings, hopefully they, Man Utd and Spurs can start challenging and knock Liverpool off their dominance perch with Man City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
