    we’re verging on panic buy here i worry. surely dont need jesus, taiwo, lucca and mateta? prem proven though so there’s that, similar profile to wood as well

  2. Hmmmmmm. Sometimes he looks great, sometimes he looks like a fucking donkey. £40m?

    Guess it’s not my money…

  3. What was the point of loaning Lucca if we’re making a marquee striker signing in the same window?

    Normal club doing normal things.

    Mateta had a brief spell of being the second best striker in the league, which was propped up by the brilliance of Olise, Wharton, and Glasner’s system. Outside of that spell he’s been a criminally poor finisher, he’s got a big ego, and he’s demanding huge wages.

    Overextending this season, and reducing our agility in the summer window when we’re hopefully bringing in a new manager with modern methods, would be so damaging to us long-term.

    Fellas if a famous name like Mateta can take interest from the big six and still be interested in coming to Forest, then there’s hope for all of us.

    Ask her out, she *might* not say no.

    442 with Mateta and Igor up top and Lucca off the bench could be great. I reckon that would bring the best out of a lot of our players, particularly Igor, but also our wingers and MGW

  6. Well I don’t think we need 5 strikers when we only play with 1 but hard to turn down the opportunity to sign a striker with 38 prem goals in the past 2 and a half seasons. Even this season when he’s clearly not at his best he’s still scored more than any players we currently have. Feel like some other clubs who can offer higher wages should be all over this, Man U barely have anyone you can count as a striker, Haaland could do with a backup so Marmoush can play in another position, if Abraham falls through for Villa then they should be after this and why aren’t Brighton joining in with taking the piss with offers for him like we’re doing?

    People saying we don’t need him are crazy. Wood is out for the season, Taiwo can only play 20 minutes and Jesus is averaging 1 in 10.

    Yes please. Would be good as statement of intent as well – yes it’s been a tough season but look, we can still sign players from a direct rival.

    Hope we’re not negotiating via email though, we know that’s not Palace’s ideal method of communication.
