Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted August 4, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 4, 2017 When Pearson was on the verge of the sack I actually wanted us to look at Warburton. Really rated him at Brentford. I think Forest are set for midtable, which is an improvement after last year for sure. No pitch invasions after finishing below Burton this year I suspect.

You hated him with us but wanted him at the same time? Warburton's a weird one, knows how to get his teams play excellent football, favours young players, has good contacts to get good loan signings from good academies...but can't get on with anyone. Left us because he needed to have the veto on incoming players, something that hasn't effected Dean Smith much, had his journalist friends slag us off in the media. Chose a weird job at Rangers and got sacked there for looking for a job in the Championship, chose a club with dodgy owners, brought Weird/McParland with him again,...can't see it ending well but who knows. If he stays friendly with the owner then they'll be up there for promotion within a year or two, Forest have money to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roversgirl 37 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 We've signed Boro's Harry Chapman on a season long loan. He looks a promising talent and has won promotion from this league in the previous two seasons while on loan at Sheffield United and Barnsley (it must be deja vu for him!). He looks bright and skilful, I just hope we just him right within the system as Dack looks a similar player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy signing for you @Lucas It's very very rare that Man Utd and Leeds do transfer business. Man Utd fans have tweeted with a lot of hate towards CBJ for turning down Ajax and moving to us because of the bitter rivalry. Little bit sad when he's still their player. No idea if he's any good to be frank, I don't think he ripped up any tree's at Wolves last year. Just hope he's better than the last player we got from then because he was gash.

Agreed. You would have to question whether he picked us because it wouldn't upset his lifestyle much or whether he feels he would make more of an impression here than over there. Technically, he couldn't have joined a better club than Ajax in improving his ability. There's no guarantee he'll even start here either. Watch this space I guess.

Lucas 3,827 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Blackburn want Marcus Antonsson.

I heard this a few days ago but it all seems to have gone quiet. We do need another striker, preferably a target man or someone who can be the focus of attacks with the likes of Graham, Pack, Gladwin, Samuel etc playing off him. Samuel and Graham just aren't good enough at that side of the game, they have other strengths. We are rumoured to be close to signing a midfielder on loan but no names yet.

What's the deal with him in real life is he just shit or have other aspects made it so that he's not wanted by you lot? He's never had a proper look in to be honest. Antonsson struggled initially, a few cameo appearances, the odd couple starts here and there, but he didn't make a massive impression. The problem for strikers is that if they don't score, they need to be seen to at least be making some form of impression in the game and unfortunately Antonsson just couldn't do that. The game would just pass him by and then someone else would do more than him. Chris Wood absolutely smashed it last year, surpassing a lot of our expectations of him and in doing so, he was literally undroppable. The fact we also only play with one striker meant that if we did sub Wood or he missed the odd game, Doukara was pushed up front because he had more of a knack of scoring goals and working hard. Antonsson needs a loan move to get his confidence back. As it stands, he is a long way from starting a game for us and is actually lucky if he makes the bench. You know it's bad times when you can't get in the squad for a Carabao Cup 1st round game against Port Vale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has now signed, on a season long loan, and the general feedback from Leeds fans regarding his ability has been pretty positive.

Administrator Stan 18,380 Posted August 15, 2017 Administrator Share Posted August 15, 2017 Tom Lawrence has moved permanently to Derby for £5m. After a series of loan spells he's transferred away. Can't say I agree with the move to be honest from a fans perspective. Would have liked to see him give a chance with us in this league. But from a clubs perspective he's probably not gonna get a chance. Good luck to him at Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read £7mil, which isn't a bad fee to take for someone with about 200 competitive minutes at the club who had a year left on his contract. I think he looks a decent player but I'd rank his chances of going in a year for nothing as likely so it makes sense to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversgirl 37 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 He was hit and miss for us. He is currently one of those players who looks fantastic for a handful of games in every 10-12 games. He now needs regular games and he is more likely to do that at Derby. I'm sure he will develop into a decent player, but probably a very good Championship player at best who may end up at teams who are at the lower end of the Premier League. Personally, I will never forgive him for a shocking miss against the dingles at Ewood!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We've signed Omar Bogle from Wigan, reportedly for £1m.

The Wigan fans on social media don't seem to rate him too much. He certainly didn't live up to expectation last season for them and his goal return wasn't great. Maybe it will improve now he is playing in a better squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
