Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

All i really know about Nottingham = "OMG! THERE'S THREE WOMEN TO EVERY MAN!!!11!!" which was the score in the 1980s

The locals really, really like it when you ask them that too.

Forest fans like it when you say Notts Forest.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

To paraphrase the late Joe Strummer,  let's have some signings now, huh?

[cdbearsfan]

I reckon nothing happens until August now, then we sneak one more in about two days before the first game.

So Ben Mee has signed for Brentford. We get to see him again.

A total myth. That said I lived there from my mid 20s to early 40s and the overall aesthetic standard (again could have been related my pre marital status) of women was on the strong side compared

I think it was the first University City to have an even split of male/female students back in early 90s when most were running 60-40.

CDBullyBears already hates the Bees enough as it is.

Lots of reports (from admittedly questionable sources) today that we're in for Ibrahim Sangare for £20m.

This would be fantastic, he'd give us something completely different in there and allow us to play a DM and 2 CMs or go toa  double pivot with a more attacking player in front. We'd even be able to adjust it on the fly during games to take advantage of space, etc.

What does he do?

I think he often gets listed as a DM but from what I can see he's a DM in the same way that people like Vieria and Yaya Toure were, capable of winning the ball back but then driving up the field with it. Not as cultured as either of them and probably needs to add more goals to his game but young enough to improve and would add a lot of extra height into our squad, which we really need.

I don't recall Viera being particularly cultured but he was quick, tough and most importantly fucking everywhere which is exactly what we need. Toure was a little more technical though, but better further forward.

It's more that he always looked in control, Sangare looks a bit like Bertie in that it usually works out fine but it sometimes looks as if each leg is being controlled by a different person.

[Clark W Griswold]

Ah, well yes compared to that they were then !

I think our midfielders for the most part are very competent with the ball but we haven’t got the bite and the energy so hopefully this guy could be the answer.

[paul_e]

I know that sounded really harsh but as I say, I think he's exactly what we could do with.

The video shows exactly what I mean but also shows that it's a bit of an illusion because he's actually really good carrying the ball out of defence.

[OCD]

A double pivot of Kamara and Sangare in front of Mings and Diego Carlos would make us a lot more solid and help us to retain the ball better, allowing Cash and Digne to get forward and Buendia and Coutinho to play a forward in.

[Ger Regan]

Another MF is essential, hopefully they can get one of their main targets, whoever it is.

[exigo]

Lehmann's signed a one-year contract extension, so presumably Dougie will be hammering at the door to stay.

More likely run his contract down then leave for free next summer.
