Wolfie looks into Forest’s top striker target for this January transfer window!

The search for a new striker at the City Ground has taken a major twist, with Olympiacos frontman Mehdi Taremi emerging as the “leading candidate” to bolster Sean Dyche’s attacking options. Following the long-term injury to Chris Wood and the loan departure of Arnaud Kalimuendo, the need for a proven goalscorer is urgent. Given that Evangelos Marinakis owns both clubs, a move for the 33-year-old Iranian international is seen as the most realistic and straightforward deal of the January window. Wolfie looks into whether Taremi—who has already notched 13 goals in Greece this season—is the “shrewd” signing we need or if his age and lack of Premier League experience make it a gamble we can’t afford to take.
While Taremi offers a physical presence and a clinical edge, many fans are questioning if Forest should instead turn their attention to a more familiar face in Callum Wilson. The former Newcastle man is reportedly set to become a free agent after a mutual agreement to terminate his contract at West Ham. With 92 Premier League goals to his name, Wilson is the definition of “proven,” but his well-documented injury record remains a massive red flag.
As the January 31st deadline approaches, the pressure is on the recruitment team to find a partner for Igor Jesus who can hit the ground running. Beyond the striker search, we also touch on the latest surrounding the midfield and whether the potential arrival of a veteran like Taremi signals a shift in strategy towards immediate results over long-term development.

Our recruiting is abysmal 😮
Id like to think that Mr M might be considering Xabi Alonso to take charge at Forest. If it’s viable. No to Taremi. No sense in it.
We need Kiefer Moore, he would get on the end of all those crosses
No more Dutch league crap please
Wolfie you’re the merch man. How about having merchandise with slogan, Let’s Make NFFC Great Again. That’s without the current coaching staff and useless hierarchy of course.
Marmoush at Forest would be superb. Watched him many times in the Bundesliga . However I doubt he would consider moving to Forest under the present climate of affairs. Yes we need a goal scorer but it’s back to front tactics. First we need to get a good coach , and talent negotiator. Not the case at present.
Well we gt excited abt Kalimuendo and Jesus. So this could be the answer
Edu did bring in talent and see where that has gotten us..
Does anyone else actually feel physically sick any time someone mentions Edu? Get that man out of our club!!!
Callum Wilson is probably a good option, apart from his injury record.Premier League experience, considering Forest's position in the league, is a prerequisite, at this stage of the season.
Larsen would be a massive mistake, especially if you believe Simon Jordon's view on the player, which I concur with.
Tavenier; a previous target, would certainly bolster the midfield, especially if Anderson goes to Man City.
Definitely get Wilson on pay as you play till end of the season then see were we are with options for me it would be Wilson +1 a young loan striker probably with a opinion
Rather have 54 year old Stan Collymore up front than this guy! We will be fine if he can get one goal every 25+ games!
100% agree with the Wilson thing , we should NOT be spending big money until the new manager signs and make no mistake. Next season dooche will NOT be here
Sounds like they don't want to give Dyche any money or say who comes in long term, probably for the best, not one for the future, but who are we going to get in January.. sounds like a body in the box and hoping for the best 😮
Buy all west ham players to make sure they get relegated😂
Waste of time getting any of them. They simply wont get the service needed. Edu is a clown.
1 goal in 26 games?…..Yay
Wilson agreed until ginger twat goes
this is us trying to get relegated, guess we still have time for that
Just scrap the season honestly, watching Forest this season is more of a chore than something I’m enjoying and these signings are not helping
Fully agree Woolfie. Of the players mentioned i would take Wilson too.
Wilson on a free not a bad option..but injury risk is something we don't need..I can't lie, a little intrigued by teremi. He banged any in champions league?..if we got no budget, then I reckon teremi and Wilson might do. If we got budget, then we should looking to spend the actual money required to sign a top notch striker. If we got 35mil, then sell a couple of squad, and aim for a 60mil striker option rather than larssen.
Says it all to me.
Not giving dyche money because they plan to sack him in the summer.
Just need him to get forest over the finish line.
I can also see edu getting the elbow in the summer too.
Massive overhaul needed.
A 33 yr old Olympiacos cast off? Is this the best that Edu can come up with? SACK HIM NOW!! Yeah, this would be a complete WASTE. OF. MONEY!! Would definitely rather have Callum Wilson on a free. And we need a LB as well.
What a bunch of negative wingers you’re attracting Wolfie lad, it must be like being in an echo chamber 😂 I’ve got over my disappointment of the Wrexham defeat, and after reflection I think we’ve got a good first eleven, we won that part of the game 3-1! And could easily have had more as their keeper had a great game. I wouldn’t mind him at Forest. Our second string aren’t good enough and Nuno knew it. It’s looking more and more like Edu is the problem, we have one fit frontman plus Taiwo, we can only have let Kalimuendo go because of PSR, we spent a lot again. Wish we’d taken Brendan Johnson back, he was always chipping in with goals and he was Spurs top scorer last season season. I can’t comment on these foreign strikers I admittedly don’t have the knowledge.
The head coach at Forest doesn’t buy the players Edu does, regardless of who is manager we should look for quality signings. Dyche will keep us up and progress in the Europa as far as Villa! He’s done more with this squad the the previous manager, and Nuno had been sussed and was going to do nothing with them, he’s definitely a one trick pony and the trick stopped working. The fans will stay with Dyche while we keep putting the odd very good display on and picking up points. And he was right to have a go at the players after that first half, they’ll either take it on board or stay in the dugout. To me it explains his lack of substitutions, they’ll either take side is always weakened by the subs.
My final point, we played that first half without a number six, Yates and Sangare are badly missed. I just hope one of them is fit very soon.
I'm all for the Calum Wilson thing..it makes so much sense..What is going on in the recruitments head???
I've looked but can't seem to find this week's GOR? Did it not happen?
Definitely take Callum Wilson
You Reds!
EDU has sexy fingers – he f##ks everything he touches. Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out!!) COYR
Stupid club for getting rid of kalimuedo!.. forest never learn from their previous mistakes 👀
We going for so many people with shit reputations or average stats (including managers) that I'm starting to feel like qe are in some kind of piss taking bad dream
Mehdi Taremi at Porto was one of the best strikers in Europe. But at 33 years old, not sure he is suitable to sign now.
I'd sign Wilson but if he gets injured then we go back to square one. So maybe we sign Wilson on a 6 month contract and we loan in a striker? But it's tough because of the way we are playing I'm not sure any striker will get chances. As we ain't creating for Jesus much.
Play Savona up front
100% agree Wolfie. Dyche should never have got rid of Kali and I've read that Cunha might be on his way out as well. Wtf is going on?????😮
Shame about your wrist Wolfie, because at only 23 years of age, Forest could've signed you!
😁
No!! 33 is Dad's Army in football years. Get younger talent in there. If it's a loan or free transfer n the situation is desperate enough n there isn't a huge wage bill involved then get him. Forest are the customer n the fans are an excellent court of opinion. Injuries can affect any team at any time. Let's have troops ready to rock n' roll at ALL times. No more Lingards . COYR 🎉
Half way through January and we are only now just targeting ‘top’ strikers???? 26 games and 1 goal YEAH perfect for Forest!!!! Fits right in!!!!! Thanks Edu!!!!
So, we’ve managed to find a combination of Wood and Jesus? Wood’s age and Jesus’s scoring record! 😂
The prem will be too fast and string for him. Callum Wilson til the end of the season with a 1 year option. It’s vital we keep Kalimuendo for next season with a forward thinking manager.
Why do we always bring 3:39 old strikers
Now Trump will invade Noyingham
I could scout and recruit better I did say bring in Wilson on another media site ASAP…
Forest should of pounced on Wilson soon has he was released …Unless he doesn’t want to come . Forest far to slow in the recruitment department ,just look what happened during the summer window.
