Forest - Just signed their 11th player

[Logicalman]

Just a Mod note, this is a thread about Notts Forest, though there will be obvious comparisons to how Fulham have fared in the same window, the discussion regarding TK is for the thread dealing with comments about TK (Tony Khan Thread Merged - Anything Tony Khan here ). Can we keep this thread about Forest please?

This isn't about Forest but kind of relevant.   Bournemouth are having what would appear to be an absolute shocker of a window with a side that wasn't as good as ours before the window opened.

And yet a quick look on their forums and most of them seem happy and at ease with what they have and are behind their club for the start of the season and have confidence that they will beat the drop. Its a bit of strange in comparison to here.

It could be all over for them after 6 games; villa, Man C, Arsenal, Liverpool and Wolves...0 points and then loosing to Nottingham in GW6 could be the end!

Have to hand it to Forest - they have supported their coach to the hilt with some excellent players - mostly proven to greater or lesser degrees in the Premiership or Championship.
Looking at our 2018 buys many had no Premiership or Championship pedigree so could be viewed as 'gambles.'
In my opinion have to say Forest appear to have a better balanced & proven squad compared to our 2018 intake, even if we had a better Championship promotion squad. Mind you hindsight is a wonderful gift!

Absolutely right and even if they get relegated - they will be in a much better position than us. A lot of their signiings will probably hang around ( unlike Anguissa Seri) or will have some resale value

Just signed some more, could be problems in the dressing room with everyone wanting to play also they have less than 2 weeks to blend them all together and it is a lot to organise.

[Riversider]

Just taken their spending to £73.5 million with a midfielder from Stuttgart joining,  with Alex Moreno (the left back we were linked to) set to join next.

[MickyAdamsFamily]

Mad shopping trolley dash across Europe! Alex Moreno is an excellent left back, but they've already signed 2. He's also 29, and they wanted 10-12mil for him, which is why we walked away.

People were probably saying the same about us a few years ago........and that ended well !!!!

The difference is that they've signed players of a much higher calibre than we did

Have they though? Barely any of them have a great deal of PL experience, and those that do have never played in a decent PL team consistently other than Lingard who's had a 13 game spell over the last 5 years where he's done anything of note. If we were spending £15m on players from foreign leagues then over half this board would be in meltdown accusing TK of playing moneyball again 

[ChesterTheTabby]

There's nothing wrong with keeping our core group of players, they helped win the Championship. Forrest is going to upset the apple cart, I imagine, but with five subs now, perhaps they're going the right way. We need three more players minimum. Goalkeeper, CB, striker (unless we keep Muniz, then another Defender)

I wouldn't swap any of them, in fact, I wouldn't swap all of them for Palhinha & Solomon.

Maybe a CB.

With reports that Forest are signing Hwang Ui-Jo and Emmanuel Dennis I thought I'd revive this thread. Obviously LOTS of questions about what's going on at Forest, but I'm wondering what it says about Taiwo Awoniyi, a striker they spent 17M on in late June, that they're supposedly spending another $25M on strikers a month and a half after they brought him in???

[Bassey the warrior]

Forest about to sign Maupay for £15m.  That brings their spending on strikers to over £50m and their overall spending to £120m. A good £15m more than we spent and I don't think they're done yet.

It's pure insanity

They're apparently sending the Korean lad to Olympiacos, in a pretty blatant FFP easing move for their common owner.

[Rambler]

Now they're about to sign Aouar, Lyon midfielder.

Regardless of your take on it, you can't help but admire what they're doing to try and achieve survival. They really are building a decent squad there considering how much work was needed.
