How are Forest getting round FFP? Smaller turnover, smaller crowds, no parachute money??

There's an issue that's being investigated regarding the converting of debt a couple of years back, but otherwise it seems that they've actually got enough leeway within what'll be the current 3year ffp time frame come March to chuck the family silver at a promotion charge now. A bit like we did.

It is encouraging that we’re trying to bring in ‘four or five’.

Four or five goalkeepers?!?

Goalkeeper is the new right back. You can't have enough of them!

I think we'll bring in a number 1 and have the young lad and either Steer or Bunn as the other one. One from Steer or Bunn will be off i reckon.

Cash him in: for £7m I'm sure he'll be a bargain for them.

That Goalies team have confirmed he’s in talks with another team. So the daily star may well be correct, this time

great  - if that gets done early next week a cb is super urgent, as is a lb cam and a striker. Not much to ask is it Steve?

No Woods for Brentford or Ward for Wigan. Tenuously linked with both this summer.
