lcfc_forever Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 Don’t think Chelsea would want to loan or sell any of their players to Newcastle due to league positions: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2023/01/16/newcastle-transfer-news-conor-gallagher-ruben-loftus-cheek-ziyech/ But clear Chelsea will have players available this window, seen we’ve been linked with RLC.

Really good players aren't going to sign 7/8 year contracts at the likes of Leicester and Wolves so our transfer fees paid, whilst lower in price, will be higher in terms of amortisation. We could sign a £45 million player and the likely maximum length of contract would be four years yet Chelsea or others could spend £70 million but drag it out over 7 or 8 years Football becoming just a bit more shite each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxOnWheels Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 Forest, Villa, Wolves all made signings now and ones that we potentially decent too, if we don’t improve could see us getting leap frogged by everyone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboFox Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 Yeah, whilst the hierarchy at our club sit around with their thumbs up their arses, Forest are out there signing 21 year old Brazilians. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly will have to sell as they have 3 senior options in every position other than RB & they still plan to sign more & heavily linked with Nkunku, Thuram, Madueke, Trossard, Caicedo & Fernandez amongst about 10 others, i know they won't be getting all but i'd guess at least another 3. There are going to be so many senior players not included in their Prem / European squads they surely can't keep everyone so would assume there will be a fire sale of those pre-7 yr contracted players, hopefully we have an eye on some especially the younger guys out on loans who must now realise they will not be getting chances anytime soon. 1 player who looks like dipping out on his dream move to Chelsea is Rice who is now linked to Arsenal which then may rule out their interest in Tielemens, think Youri's best option might be to re-sign.

Great points, was thinking the same re. their younger players. I know @Ric Flairhas raved about Omari Hutchinson. Just don't see them selling to Newcastle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was considered one of their best prospects outside of Endrick who has signed for Real Madrid. Arsenal were interested in the summer too, and they have a good record with signings from South America, see Gabriel Martinelli. Brazilian midfielders tend to do well in our league; Fernandinho, Gilberto Silva. Even players like Fred for Man United are OK. So sadly I think this was one of their better signings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal seemed set to get him, it's a big coup for Forest and I suspect they've been made aware of his availability when securing Gustavo Scarpa from the same club.

South Shire Fox Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 I still dont understand why we didnt insist on Colwill being part of any Fofana deal if they wanted to get it over the line. Hes looked quality since hes been given a run at Brighton and his values only going to increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 Because Colwill to Brighton was already sorted in the Cucurella deal, so he wasn't an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea had bids for Fofana before Cucurella from what i remember? Surely they should of been told the only deal would involve Colwill if we had been chasing him all summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wortho Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 Exactly, he was signed in 2018. Since then Vesty, Betrand, Smithies and Faes (who I don't think isn't that bad). Can't really count Fofana and Daka has been a disappointment so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanchflower78 Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 Forest trying to sign Zapata from Atalanta, preferring a loan to buy club holding out for permanent. For whatever anyone said about buying so many players you have to admire the ambition. Clearly come the summer assuming they stay up some will be moved on who haven't been involved enough but they have certainly brought in quality additions.
