kingston_fox Posted 21 July 2022 Share Posted 21 July 2022 Meh - Forest are starting at the bottom of the pile and need to do something to try and stay in the Prem. We are established with players commanding better salaries if buying for free so despite our collective pessimism we are going to hit mid table which is all they would aim for at best. The difference is we will make it, they have 50% chance at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've come up and strengthened. We appear to, at very best, have stood still. Would you take their squad over ours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 21 July 2022 Share Posted 21 July 2022 Thats an incredibly high risk signing. Hes got to be putting in MOTM performances every week otherwise its going to turn toxic real quick. Cooper will do well to get shot of Forest ASAP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 21 July 2022 Share Posted 21 July 2022 I am looking forward to a bit of local rivalry , its been quite a few years since we have had that. We are the number one team in the midlands and there to be shot at. First target this coming season is to finish in front of Villa ,Forest and Wolves. Bring it on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntman_Mike Posted 21 July 2022 Share Posted 21 July 2022 Football can change so quick. One minute Forest are rooted to the bottom of the Championship and Lingard is worthy of a CL team and the next this! Hope it goes tits up. Can't stand either of them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samilktray Posted 21 July 2022 Share Posted 21 July 2022 121k a week for a bloke who makes more tiktoks than tackles and has a wispy goatee. Not for me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to cost them 10m. Theres not many players you can get for 7m on say 70k, of his quality. If he's shit and they go down he's off the books. If he's great they extend it by a year. Its not much more risky then signing Ulloa in complete truth It just sounds crazy because of the size of the wage Edited 21 July 2022 by Lambert09 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 21 July 2022 Share Posted 21 July 2022 Lingard is a top player but **** me, if shit goes shit he'll be the first scapegoat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was under contract and cost £10m, you wouldn't raise an eyebrow and you'd still have to pay 100k a week. Sign him on a free on 200k a week, total cost £10.4m I really don't see the risk at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 21 July 2022 Share Posted 21 July 2022 Injured in first 4 games and then very lazy in terms of trying to get fit (risk on a 1 year contract). See Bertrand, R. (Not on a 1 year contract) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not performing it creates a toxic atmosphere which isn't going to help the team spirit needed for a relegation battle. Its massively naive in my opinion and requires him to perform to a very high level for it to pay off Not convinced hes anywhere near good enough or a big enough character to justify being paid probably 5 or 6 times more than his team mates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs famously struggled when they bought loads of players with the Bale money. Only team that did ok was Chelsea, but it took a change of manager or two, if I recall correctly.
