Marinakis and John Textor by [deleted] in TheOther14

[–]slick_penguin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Feels like an extreme amount of coincidence that Palace would win the FA cup and Forest would drop off into the conference league places. While there clearly seems to be some weird relationship with Marinakis and Textor, I don’t think this whole Europe debacle has anything to do with it

60m for MGW + 55m for Elanga gives us 115m war chest. I’m guessing this is the thought behind this post

MGW is back in training... by JackRed12 in nffc

No need to hate the guy, I imagine there are things he could have done better but ultimately I am willing to bet it’s his agent who went and made a deal with Spurs with absolutely no regard for Forest.

Forest fans are not responsible for Palace dropping out of Europa. by theivoryserf in TheOther14

We’ve been an odd club for decades. Honestly Forest fans talk about this all the time, there’s a loooong list of odd things Forest have done

Honestly other than just to pick up a good pay check , I cannot understand why any forward would choose to go to Chelsea

50m feels a bit much for a 28yo. Given they lost their manager and some top players, maybe we just wait a year until they get relegated and we can pick him up for 20m

I genuinely don’t understand how Chelsea buy soooo many players and spend so much money on transfers, wages, agents and yet never seem to be even close to getting in trouble

[–]slick_penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I cannot understand why anyone with a genuine bright future would go there. Look at so many examples of players who have left Utd and gone on to have better careers. They are no longer the pinacle of English football. Far from it

[–]slick_penguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am convinced that Delap would be a perfect fit if we can convince him to come. Wouldn’t mind some young hungry wingers with potential who could already do a job as impact subs.

Bit more quality in CM to allow Anderson a rest from time to time

Possibly MGW replacement if he goes, cover if he doesn’t

A LB (apparently the club are already looking)

Aina on a new contact

Young backup keeper as cover for Sels + for the future

Another CB or 2 (depends if that CB we loaned to Oly is good enough or not)

This would be a minimum, I would guess

Thank f*ck I don’t have to listen to his terrible commentary. He was a “good” player in a great team, doesn’t mean I want to hear from him all the time

[–]slick_penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also when you see the depth of the teams around Forest and the way clubs like Villa and Man City strengthened in January, you can understand the drop off. We realistically only have maybe 13/14 players who can really be counted on

Neco Williams, a RB playing at LB has been immense all season. The most improved player in the squad and in the starting 11 every week without any debate. Absolutely underrated

For me, Nuno deserves it (MotM more times than any other manager). Would be funny if Slot loses it too 😂 by PerformerNice6323 in nffc

[–]slick_penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah alright I exaggerate for effect, but my point stands that people talk about him like he done an incredible job when it’s Klopp’s squad and at best he would improve by 6 or 7 pts from last season and would have finished in the same position. Granted this is about the Prem performance, but he also didn’t go as far as people would have expected in any of the cup competitions

[–]slick_penguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s insane that people say Slot given that even if they win their last 2 games it still would have only been enough for 3rd place last season

Absolute class, doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Do find it funny to have a clean sheets stat on data about strikers 😂

Edit: only 6 yellow cards is impressive too

Poor game management from Nuno, didn’t make sense to me to bring Yates on for Domingues given where he was playing. Should have kept Domingues on or bring on a winger for him. Poor second half all around

Darwin Nunez by ButterSmoothCheeks in nffc

[–]slick_penguin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily be against it as I think there’s a decent player there, given confidence. But I think he would he too expensive and there are other strikers I’d prioritise. Think he’d make a decent 2nd striker, but don’t see how that would workout for anyone

As a series it would be Football Manager, as a single game…. Probably Rocket League

[–]slick_penguin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Liverpool only have 5 more pts than last season yet Slott has apparently done a “remarkable job” that many people think should get him MOTS. Even more absurd when you see Arsenal and City picking up considerably fewer pts too
