Transfers, 2024-25 season

[Toonpack 12615]

Evidently Man U have a 20% sell on clause with him so that'll drive up the price they want, he's also still got £9 Mill book debt from amortising his original fee.

[Dr Gloom 24611]

i like the player but if the price is £60m of thereabouts.....i dunno. you might get semenyo for that price, who looks a more exciting prospect to me.

I think Nottingham Forest has no intention of selling and, on the contrary, will want to sign more players and strengthen their squad to try to finish in the Top 6.

Elanga, at least statistically, is their best player or the most decisive.

I don't know if they have to comply with Fair Play and get rid of any players to do so, but knowing their owner, they'd certainly go all the way to avoid having to sell, risking future sanctions.

Yesterday, during the Club World Cup, they were saying they've signed three Botafogo players for less than 40 million euros.

I'm not sure who's the more consistent of the two, they're both great on their day but can blow hot and cold. Semenyo always does well against us but from what I've seen I think I'd prefer Elanga overall. Not sure either is worth over 50M. 

[wykikitoon 24356]

Should think we would get him for £55m

I’d be worried if they didn’t reject the first offer tbh 

This. It always made me assume she had herpes.  

[Dr Gloom 24611]

Perhaps we can bump the offer up by giving them the Greek keeper back

you definitely get an exciting prospect from

abroad for a lot less than the prices mooted for Elanga or Semenyo. We’ve been linked with Bakayoko, Kubo, Kuhn et Al but sounds like Eddie prefers PL experience this time. 

[trophyshy 7721]

We should have had a buy back clause on Anderson, seeing as we gave them the deal of the century.  £20m for a keeper as likely to get near the first team as Demis fucking Roussos. 

[wykikitoon 24356]

My BIL, THE SCAN CUNT! Said if we pay £55m for him we've had our pants down 

[wykikitoon 24356]

This is the same one who said he would drive him to SJP as hes shit

just the very mention of his name gets me all weak at the knees.

the one and only, silky voiced, mediterranean hearthrob....

We wouldn’t be bidding unless we’d already got word that the player is interested. Up to him now to dig his heels in and go on strike.

 

 

 

Sorry, I’ve just realised who he plays for.

Apparently the scabs are after Jordan Henderson 

[Chaser 1485]

It seems now the standard for a winger who can bag a few goals is £50-60m. I'd rather we went in for Adeyemi from Dortmund, we should have picked him up when he left Salzburg. Keith Downie suggests we are considering him, Kudus or Bakayoko

[Kitman 2556]

I don't know why Forest would even consider strengthening a direct rival unless they can take us to the cleaners, or are desperate for the money. Under either scenario you'd think there would be better value options out there if they don't welcome our interest. I just hope we don't waste huge amounts of time chasing a club who doesn't really want to sell, like Guehi last season.

 

 

 

[Rayvin 6696]

I wonder if we tried it in the hope PSR might force their hand.

How much more would we have to pay them for that option?

I guess the flip side is that they may consider that Elanga is at the peak of his value based on a season where Forest exceeded expectations by a great deal and based on his age and length of contract. They may fancy that they could turn that fee into a couple of players of promise from a lower cost market for the upcoming season where they'll (like us) have a busier schedule.

Apparently he was, at one time, in a psychedelic prog rock band with Vangelis (of Bladerunner soundtrack fame). And they did a concept album based on the Book of Revelation.

Demis Roussos I mean, not Elanga.

It's even called "666". Absolutely zero subtlety and all the better for it.

Are Forest a rival after one decent season?

In their minds, probably
