And most of us, myself included, thought Bertrand was a fairly sensible free back up. Don't think anyone thought he'd be THIS bad or play any more than Fuchs had before him. Signing Vestergaard while Tomiyasu went for the same cash still gives me a migraine though. To be fair he went to Arsenal, they still have a lot strong pull in the transfer market than us. If it was a straight up choice between the two clubs saying that both had bid accepted and both offered the same contract the majority of players would pick Arsenal over us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I'm not naive. But he is an example of the quality you can find in that bracket with an iota of imagination. Vestergaard was a signing akin to Ayoze Perez. A sort of shrug of the shoulders, run out of options, "at least they've got 'Premier League Experience™'" signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Soyuncu and Evans and Amartey, I would suspect we would be rotating in the backline and the experience pro (due to Evans) recent history was going to be the major factor in his acquisition. We all know now ( I hope you are watching, Rodgers) that it is not wise to play him in a highline. When defending on the edge of our own box, he is more effective. We can't afford to leave too much space behind him, we will always need that added pace to cover him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were interested in him and a thread of him in this forum was running for weeks and we went for Vestergaard. Arsenal had shown no interest in him and only till the last days of the transfer deadline when Leicester and Spurs didn't want him, Tomiyasu's agent was offering him to other EPL teams and Arsenal still looked abit ropey at the back even through they had just bought Ben White signed him up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not stricly true to be honest, there is / was a thread on Arsenal Mania about him from this time last year. He was touted about yes, but Arsenal needed a right back and he fit the bill.

He's a beast for his size trust me. Given Vestergaard is 6ft 5 and when he jumps is 5ft 9, Senesi is a salmon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfc82 Posted 10 January 2022 Share Posted 10 January 2022 I don’t know if he’s been mentioned in here already but I’d take Brennan Johnson from Forest, would be a good fit for us. He will be playing in the PL next season one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fofana cannot come back to his previous self prior to his injury, he may just have to adjust his game where he becomes more like Evans and is the steady influence in the backline. Senesi looks like he is comfortable anywhere on the pitch, whether defending, transitioning the play or being a threat in the oppositions box. Hard to think we could have the same type of players in the backline, something will have to give. I do suspect if we went to a back three, We could have Soyuncu central with Senesi and Fofana flanking him. Would still like to see Botman come in though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming here would be good for him, with Rodgers ability to relate to younger players it would be a great opportunity for him to excel here. You have got to say the last Forest player that came here did not do too bad!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 10 January 2022 Share Posted 10 January 2022 I thought the RB Djed Spence was Forest's best player yesterday, he's on loan from Middlesborough and I thought he looked very impressive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves to dribble, but not good at laying the ball off and that is about as bad as his short comings. With Ricardo struggling for any run in the team and his attempt to gain back some kind of form ( I am aware he is injured at the moment), he would be a good option to have in rotation with Castagne. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 10 January 2022 Share Posted 10 January 2022 It's crazy isn't it, never heard of the 2 Forest players before ....Spence and Johnson and now after the game was televised everyone is raving about the duo. Read now that Brentford' want Johnson and Arsenal are interested in Spence. Could it be that they played good because they were playing Arsenal and the match was shown around the world?

Bptiger Posted 10 January 2022 Share Posted 10 January 2022 Well here we go again 10 days in the window and nothing happening does this seem very much how we go about transfer business. Beginning to think we won’t do any business at all. If this is the case I really think we can say YOURI and Maddison will move at the end of the season and maybe CAGS, so we will have gone from wanting to be a permanent top 6 side to maybe next year fighting to stay in the top league . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Youri will leave no matter what, Cags wouldn’t be a big loss. I don’t think madders will leave just yet, needs to prove to one of the big 6 that he can stay fit and firing for a significant amount of time, before they spend £60m-70m on him. I think there will be quite a big reshuffle in the summer but hopefully Youri will be the only key player to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly surprising, though, is it? We don't tend to spend any money in January. It's a seller's market. I think it's been clear for a long time that Youri's off no matter what, anyway. Doubt Maddison will be sold. Cags probably will be off if he doesn't renew his contract. I think we'll try to get a CB on loan, but that will be it. If it happens, it'll probably be at the end of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a very good squad of players and if we get our act together top 6 is not a daunting prospect as you might think. I am not the least bit worried about this window, it is what we were expecting and anyone coming in would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
