Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Risso]

I always have a look at the calibre of websites producing rumours, and the Raul de Thomas ones are absolute bottom-feeding rubbish.

[baddowvillans]

Dennis to Forest for £20m  would he have been worth a risk?

[Villatillidie25]

No. 6months of decent form having never really done much in his career is a punt we don’t need to take.

[Mouse Potato]

sure he played against Bournemouth last week

In midfield by any chance?

[Matt C]

Davis off to Watford on loan according to The Athletic

[Smithy]

No. 6months of decent form having never really done much in his career is a punt we don’t need to take.

He's only 24 and scored 10 league goals in a side that was relegated (plus 6 assists).  I don't think he's "top" quality, but he's shown enough to be an asset to a side in the lower half of the premier league and could still develop further at his age.  Don't think he's any better than what we have though.

Interestingly, he was behind Wesley in the pecking order at Brugges during the latter's final season there...

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Didn’t he do well in the Champions League for Bruges which brought him to the attention of a wider ordinance, must admit I thought he was older than that.

feel like you harpooned your own argument there .

[Toronto Villa]

We might be involved on deadline day for the first time in ages

[eamonn]

Raul de Tomas link. Any good?

No idea but apparently other PL clubs like Newcastle, West Ham etc. are also keen so it might just be 'agent drumming up interest' type nonsense.

There was only one Raul in Noocassil and he was a psycho.

apart from goalkeeper, think there were 10 Benny's on

[Brazilian Villain]

He was such a nutter he didn't even spell Raul correctly.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Ishmael Sarr off to Leeds. Bloody good signing that.

Any mention or idea of what the fee will be?

£25m is the fee I've seen reported though not seen the deal confirmed anywhere. Apparently the Plastics are interested too.

Just noticed he's playing for Watford tonight. And there was my Leeds mate telling me they had £200m to spend.

[baddowvillans]

Anyone seen an article yet asking are Forest doing a Villa?  No not me?

[ozzjim]

So another centre half likely to jump the queue in front of the No 8 or striker then
