Back to being a Birmingham citizen.

From a small settlement in the north to the second city.

No, the city of Welles is in the south-west.

Odd choice. I would have thought he'd go back to Spain. I've said it before but I would not have thought this time last year that Moreno would be leaving and I'd be fine with it.

Doesn’t sound like the buy option is obligatory, unfortunately.

Athletico Madrid are pursing central defender Hancko and if he leaves may mean Geertruida won’t leave because that would be two important defenders leaving.

He will only lose value in a year and Forest might well go down, in which case they almost certainly wouldn't be buying him. Suppose we can loan him to someone else next season but that doesn't really help us, or him.

Good luck to him anyway, always gave his all and seems a likeable bloke. He would comfortably be our best left back for most of this century, the fact that he's only third choice shows our progress.

Maybe he's heard that there are seven women to every man in Nottingham.

Not sure anyone really gains from this.  I’m surprised it’s happening. I’m guessing the majority of Spanish clubs cannot match his wages so he’s stuck in the PL.  Poor bugger.

Hopefully frees up some space for us to add another RB/CB.

🚨🌳 EXCL: Nottingham Forest agree deal to sign Alex Moreno from Aston Villa with medical booked on Wednesday morning.

Initial loan deal with buy option, agreement in place.

Here we go. 🔐

He was never properly fit last season, gets anywhere near the form and fitness when he first joined us and that's a quality signing by Forest. I did think he would have better options, Nuno is never too far away from the sack and their squad seems overloaded in his position.

Would guess Forest are covering his salary and poss loan fee? + he can’t play against us so if he regains his 22-23 form he’ll help them win points against our rivals hopefully

Bloody hell, the ratio has gone up. In my day it used to be 5/1.

Some of the best city centre marketing ever….trade descriptions should probably have intervened

Good luck to him, hope it works out. Was great for a while. A couple more ins and outs yet, wait to get the new shirt personalised...
