Birningham. Love it when its pronounced like this.

I think we'll get 1 more in this window, probably someone like Sangare or Gallagher. That should mean there's plenty in the pot for adding 1-2 in January as well and, if things go to plan, we'll be looking at them as a top half of the league club, not one coming off a 14th place finish.

The Shummanites are circling Goodison Park, if you ask me.

yep i think thats important
we tend to get a bit ahead of ourselves quite rightly with the investment and rebuild thats gone on at our club in recent years, but to everyone else we are a bottom half prem team with aspirations, which in fairness is exactly what we have been for a while but now heading in the right direction

if we are sitting in a higher place come Jan, top half maybe a few points away from the top 7 its becomes a different perspective
whether you like him or nor Gerrard makes us more high profile and someone who can atract a better player but coupled with better performances and a higher league table spot we become a different propostion for top players

Maybe we missed a player in Aribo from Rangers to Southampton £10m he's a Midfielder who Gerrard knows yet didn't try and sign him. Interesting to see how he performs in the premier league

Who cares? How he gets on isn’t remotely interesting, every single midfielder we have is better than him.

I think you answered your own question.

Last season was their 14/15 and Lampard is their Sherwood.  I think this year is their 15/16.

My thoughts exactly, and Idrissa Gueye is on his way over to complete the project.

[eamonn]

He's so anti-gay he changed his name to Gana.

Renato Sanches has gone to PSG. I saw speculation that Milan were after him or our Doug, so there maybe a move on the cards there now.

Forest are splashing the cash like a Villa/Fulham.

[pauliewalnuts]

I wonder if the new Chelsea owner is engaged in some misguided attempt at showing his credentials?

£20m for an arsey child who thinks he's the second coming, and now a deal up to £62m for Cucurella - insane money.

Totally agree.  That is some Everton style spending right there.

Aren't they in a similar position to the one we were in? Having not much option but to bring in a load of players?

I think it's time for a Villa 19/20 v Forest 22/23 Swingometer. Will get my brother on the case
