Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[supertom]

We've got more left footed centre backs than we know what to do with - Lescott, Clark, Baker and Toner. How has Baker been doing in his loan spell? Whilst we need to give ourselves the best chance of getting promoted, it's also a chance to promote the good young players we have coming through who otherwise might have been shipped out on loan. Then the other gaps need to be filled by experienced pro's with the right attitude. I hope it's true that Petrov's fitness levels are back to where they were because that would be a big step on the latter.

Baker would be fine at that level, but of course it's always been his injury record which is the biggest problem. With a bit of good management Clark is still okay. A decent right footed CH needs to be signed.

Gardner could be key for us too. He stands out at Champ level.

If Baker could sort out his fifty pee head he might also chip in with a few goals.

Gary Gardener has not been as impressive during this stint according to most Forest fans.

I'd try and persuade Pritchard to leave Warburton ( been at Brentford and Rangers) and join us.

Really? A while ago I kept seeing Forest fans desperate to get him on a permanent and delighted when he returned.

Baker has been at a team fighting relegation all season long.  Only snapshots, but the three bits of Bristol City I have seen this season have been him giving away a penalty with a stupid challenge, him being on the floor injured and bizarrely him sitting down injured just as the goalkeeper passed him the ball and the striker running in on goal.  We'd be better off getting what we can for him and giving Toner a chance.

Sheff Wed have played the loan market perfectly the likes of Hooper returning 13 goals is just what you need, infact Hooper seems like a top championship striker but not good enough for the premier lge. I wouldn't mind him at VP next season.

[N'ZMAV]

Hooper signed a permanent deal with Sheffield Wednesday

[olaftab]

Watford have also exploited the Liam market however I expect them to be involved in relegation scrap next season.

[Holte L2]

I'd go for Chris Martin, Tom Ince and Ross McCormack as attacking options.
Mile Jedinak to play alongside Gary Gardner in Midfield. Delaney at the back and Myhill in goal.

[ozzjim]

We need some leaders.  Jedinzk I have said for a while.  The big bearded Polish guy at Leicester might be available and would do a good job in that league despite his age I reckon.

If Myhill is on a free then it would be a good shout in goal with Steer competing with him and be rid of Bunny and Guzan. Looks like Amavi will be off so the lad from Walsall had to be worth a look at left back.

Hooper signed a permanent deal with Sheffield Wednesday

Maybe not Hooper then

[eamonn]

Getting less than half for Amavi would be a disgrace.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I saw this morning forest want Gardner on a permanent

[ozzjim]

Getting less than half for Amavi would be a disgrace.

As would the person who negotiated the deal. Delph I could understand the mechanics from the club in letting him sign the deal from a business sense, but giving Amavi a deal that would allow him to leave for less than half his signing fee would be really really poor. Same money, fine. Or even a couple of million less with a large sell on fee percentage. Or loan to a premier league side for a season then he becomes ours again if we are promoted. All would suit.
