Good… Under Lampard, he’s been our most consistent and all-round best player.

Gueye - he was excellent today - we’ve been desperate for him since we sold our best player to PSG and replaced him with Gbamin and Delph a few years ago.

No - I forgot who - leave it at that!

Oh deer, oh deer!

Would have been one hell of a signing!!!

Scott Carson’s taken over the ultimate gig at Man City now. It must be ace for keepers who have had a top career already to actually end up at a level higher than they ever actually achieved in their twilight years. Carson and Wright (Weight sorry!) have been parts of elite squads competing for the top honours albeit in the background - Lonergan was part of a squad (I forget who) who had similar success too. I can see why clubs do it - not just as an emergency option but as much for training sessions and counselling/coaching for such a unique position.

At least 2 more possible too! Aurier and Bade are close supposedly!

Forest get a percentage of whatever fee paid so Blackburn will have to feel it’s worth it. If they’re only getting a few million after the sell-on they may feel they’re better off seeing where they stand in January which isn’t too many games away with the World Cup when it is!

Although, Aubameyang is out until the end of October so logic has now done a u-turn… unless Chelsea sign 2 strikers!!!

Feeling with a little bit of logic…

I still think we’ll end up with Broja on-loan.

This would be a bonus… This site has been quite reliable historically, granted not seen much from them of late.

A Forest fan’s view… ”Quality player. Very good passer, good engine and tackling has improved. Gutted you’re getting him.”

We signed Beattie in the January window when we sold Graveson and finished 4th at the end of the season. I remember wanting Dean Ashton for £3m but we paid double for Beattie - meh indeed!!!

Rumours that he’s off to Trabzonspor permanently…

This is looking more than a rumour now - going under the radar like much of our business this summer… https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/08/31/everton-samuel-chukwueze-villarreal/

Such a smart move if so - Kean money guaranteed next summer to cover it.

It would be great to get 2 boxed off today - this and Gueye.

I think we’d like 4 but will get 3 through the door. 1. Gueye - this one will hopefully be done and dusted today. 2. Another central midfield player from Dendoncker, Garner, Kudus (although he may be seen as more of an attacking wide player), Gallagher (on-loan if he becomes available), Gilmour (although I think we’ve since moved on). 3. A wide ‘live wire’ forward player loads linked and still think new names will appear - Chukwueze is a new name today, that Ukrainian lad - maybe something completely out of the blue here, wouldn’t surprise me if Traore gets mentioned again. 4. A striker - Brereton Diaz, Pedro, Broja (on-loan late if he becomes available), Hwang (I think this was just paper talk though), maybe one of the players from the French league linked earlier in the window Guirassy, Moffi, etc. I think we’ll actively be looking to sell Allan, Gomes and Rondon - Keane or Mina probably would have been available had Mina, Godfrey and Holgate not got injured. Not using any of the subs yesterday spoke volumes. I think and hope we’ll still be very busy.

Of all the attacking players linked - this is the one I’d love to happen. Some of the players linked may be ‘better’ now but I think Pedro would really kick on at us - he’ll be a full international before too long and £30m will seem an absolute bargain.

He’s a very impressive young man - think he’ll be an incredible signing!

Think he may have brought them on if deadline day wasn’t so close - I expect both (and Rondon) are for sale and Lampard wouldn’t have wanted to risk injury/ they may play with moves in mind.
