Forest - Just signed their 11th player

[rebel]

15 players in now, and at least a few more incoming :)

Tell me when they sign the 1,000th.

Only one match in, but i get a feeling that Forest are about to prove that you can do well signing a whole new team. It is all about the quality. Ours (4 years ago) will go down as the worst window in the history of Fulham. Possibly in the game?

They got played off the park against Newcastle and VAR and some very wasteful West Ham finishing consipred to see them somehow get a win when they really should've lost. They've been bog standard in both games so far

I wasn't comparing them to us this season (it was the our squad 4 years ago i was comparing). Just saying that they are not on zero points, which you would expect from a team that needs time to gel. If they are already looking "bog standard" that's a success right?

[Black and White Blood]

Lingard would have been a great signing, always good for a goal.
Great Business for Forest.

Gibbs-White for £45m

Why doesn't FPP apply to them ?

Hmm A lot of Forest fans (on twitter) seem to think they might still have more to spend. I can't work it out to be honest.

Presumably losses are over the next 3 years so can tighten their belts for the next season or 2? They have signed some good risk free (as risk free as you can get) players so I can see them building a team that won't need touch changing for a few years.

But I have no idea really!

That is a complete waste of money.

Not jealous in the slightest, but I hope they fall on their sword with this. No way can they justify this much spending and comply with FFP

I think they can just stay clear of ffp if they stay up, if they go down then I believe they will be in big trouble. Also the fifa salaries to turnover comes in next season does it not

Not if all the contracts have sensible relegation clauses, they should be fine.

I don't see how they can be compliant even staying up. What is it now in fees, £170m atleast then add agents fees then amortise that and add wages (Lingard alone is a huge amount). Something very dodgy going on, hardly surprising given what their owner has got away with previously. Barely anything being asked by the media who I assume are too scared of the bloke.

At this point they seem to double our spending and amount of signings from the "doing a fulham" season. They're spending Manchester City after being bought money.

I completely understand that they needed to sign a lot of players, but their approach is also pretty mad. They're essentially looking to compress 3 or 4 transfer windows of spend/movement into 1, and there is a lot of risk there.

There are a lot of signings (and fees and wages) committed to players who will spend a lot of time on the bench.

PL (only) FFP is different to FFP if you're in the football league or if you're not playing European Football.

As this is their first year they have loads of financial flexibility - but the reality will be that if they stay up they will be massively constrained the next couple of seasons. Obviously if they go back down there is a lot of risk and you would hope they've got the right clauses in contracts.

You have to wonder how involved Cooper is in these deals really.

[LC]

Nottingham Forest have overpaid for Morgan Gibbs-White if the £45m figure is true.

This is the last time I'm going to say it, but Fabio must be worth near £70m if this is how we're pricing players

[The Cravenette]

Just seen his press conference and he said likely to be even more incoming (and outgoings).

He gave me the impression he has absolutely no say in the matter. Think the owner is acting like he is playing FIFA or something.

As the ref seemed to be in the playoff final denying Sheff Utd 2 goals
