Igor Jesus officially signed to Forest. Definitely needed some other options to help out Wood, especially with Awoniyi probably departing.

Wow, thank you West Ham.

Kudos to Spurs, six year deal.

Wow again, Morgan Gibbs-White to the Spurs.

Probably steps in as our best midfielder.

Did not see that one coming.

Sheesh. This is the part of the EPL setup that I really dislike ( as a fan). The PSR rules really do punish the clubs that don’t have the big, reliable income based. We’ve clawed our way from literal bottom of the Championship, to promotion, to top 8 PL , to European football . And we’re gonna tackle Europe having effectively been forced to sell Morgan and Elanga ( on his way to Newcastle by the look of it) , who are key reasons we got there in the first place. I know it’s the reality of top flight football, but as an Australian sports fan I find it quite distasteful.

That said, Morgan and Brennan at Spurs is gonna make it difficult for me to not hope they go pretty well. And I’m much happier that he’s gone to Spurs than City, which had seemed a likely landing spot. Fark those guys, they should have been demoted to League 4 for cheating.

As to Forest, I’m thinking it’ll mean that Anderson steps into the #1 attacking midfield role and I suspect (hope) that we’ll discover he’s been somewhat hidden behind Morgan. I do wonder whether , had we known Morgan was definitely on the move, we’d have not sold Danilo.

Welcome aboard. Plenty of room now that all the Aussie bandwagoners that followed Ange have jumped off.

What sort of player is Kudos? Greek national, I assume.

Oh, it really is his name. No wonder I’d never heard of him if he’s from West Ham.

His a solid player. Last season was not great but the season before was very good. He improves Spurs and provides competition for spots. His foot work is really good. Good signing.

It’s actually Kudus but autocorrect got me.

That is a stunner. I’m stoked Liverpool have gone to Adidas, those Nike kits were bloody awful.

That reminds me of the pinstripe strip we had way back towards the end of the Cloughie era

Unfortunately we got relegated in that strip but it was pretty neat

His name translated is similar to a couple of ex bomber players. ā€œI down tools until I get my own wayā€ he’s a sooky karnt and good rid. Spuds are welcome to him.

Edit. I’ll be at the Hammer’s 2nd home game in a month’s time and I’ll be letting him know along with all the other geezers :smile:

Jordan Henderson set to sign for Brentford. Had his contract at Ajax terminated and will return to the PL.

Surprised he didn’t sign with Sunderland

With Kelleher

Such a bizarre setup, really. Forest appear to be annoyed that Spurs approached MGW before asking for permission to approach him. Granted, he’s under contract but surely this stuff happens all the time. Perhaps more pertinently , the suggestion seems to be that someone - presumably MGW’s manager - leaked the Ā£60m release clause to Spurs because the Spurs offer was precisely 60 million. Forest had been telling City that they wanted 70 million.

Apparently, technically, Spurs can be fined or punished for an early approach. But this’ll all be about money and I won’t be shocked if Spurs suddenly offer 65 and it all goes through.

There’ll be a component that gets forwarded to Wolves , so Forest will be doing their sums to work out what their take will be at each figure and what they can do with it.
