Not sure how likely but heard a rumour we might swap Lansbury for Lolley.

The latter doesn't appear to be in favour this season and the former has been an absolute waste of space for years.

Get it done!

There is no way Forest would be that stupid.

I’m not convinced Lolley is up to much.

Up until this season I was, not sure what's happened.

But if there's any truth in this rumour, i'd snap their fucking hands right off. I'd swap Lansbury for a bag of chips mind. Useless twat.

I’ve read somewhere that he’s being played out of position 🤷‍♂️ And is not happy.

Lolley or Lansbury? If it's the latter, I'd love to know what he thinks his position is.

A mix of what's happened/rumoured and what I'd like to see, here's my Jan transfer wishlist:

- Reina (didn't really need one imo, but think he'll be a good addition)
- LB (fuck knows who... anyone but Taylor or Targett!)
- Stephen Nzonzi
- Jared Bowen
- Batsushayi - brought in as first choice striker on loan (instead of wasted loan slot of Drinkwater)
- Benteke on loan (gamble worth taking imo)
- Another striker (possibly this Tanzanian fella.... as backup)

I'm less demanding (slightly)...! Reina, N'Zonzi, Benteke, Samatta and Bowen would be good business. They aren't going to loan Batshuayi only sell him (£45m being rumoured and he's nowhere near worth that). If we can manage decent money and not fall foul of FFP, I'd prefer to see it spent on Bowen as an alternative wide player.

Have they changed the manager since last season?

Sorry, it's Forest... stupid question.

I want Benteke - I need romance, roy of the rovers stuff in my football! Winning goal to keep us up from the big man, everyone goes ballistic ...

Roy Hodgson: “I can’t believe I am being asked the question (Benteke leaving on loan). I can’t believe someone is going to suggest that we are considering loaning out a player who could be considered as one of our best players.”

We need a striker on that pitch against Watford, no matter what.

A month ago I would have said no thanks, but given our current predicament I have to say ‘bring the Beast back!’

The mismanagement of the striker situation is truly pathetic, a thing of the type I thought we might finally have left behind.

I know nobody can predict injuries, but a blind man on a galloping horse could have spotted the risk in our pathetic striker line up at the start of the season.

Meanwhile yet another match with no fucking striker, and one signed, but he needs a work permit and hasn't kicked a ball in this country before.

Abject squad management.

Our problem is we keep pushing back the point at which we think circumstances will allow us to expect to win a game, further and further, and eventually it is going to become irretrievable.

Even if we scrape survival this season there are a number of people at the club who want sacking for getting us in this pathetic mess.

Or, if we scrape survival, we presume they will learn from their mistakes and not repeat this mess, like most of us do in our jobs when we feck up.

Definitely need a newly signed striker starting for us vs watford, so no weekend off please for Deano, Suso or Purslow, they've no time to waste (especially bearing in mind the f-ck up last transfer window and the 18 days already this window). How a club can be so negligent in regards to one of the key positions in the team is beyond me!
