Odd choice. I would have thought he'd go back to Spain.

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

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

Most of them were Southern maidens, Nottingham was the furthest north that their concerned parents would let them go.
Whilst at Aston it was seven men to every woman.

How did I manage to capture one still amazes me as my wife continues to tell me😂

Moreno to Forest is a good deal all round.  I'm pleased that he's still playing in the Prem.  Decent player and a decent guy.

I used to hear it was 6 to 1, but I just went with the figure per a BBC article.

I was there a couple of weeks ago it didn't seem like that when we were there - mind you I was there for the Test Match.  I met a student who told us that they wanted to experience other cultures, like living in North Korea.  And I had to tactfully explain maybe they should consider other countries before North Korea.

Moreno won't need to move house of course, so he can have stability. Good move all round.

If Unai can get the best out of him, there is a player in there somewhere, just ask him not to pass the ball out from the back!!

Agreed - good luck to him. A quick search shows he's on 120k/week.. decent.

Plus he's a good player that can play against everyone else but not us.

Still hoping that Monchi can work miracles and get Hause and Dendonker out somewhere, although Hause moved on with great respect having helped us to get back up to the Prem.  Dendonker can do one.  Hope Bogarde gets a loan gig too, now it looks like Carlos is staying. Be great to see him develop at a decent club.  I guess we will have to stomach the final year of Olsen's contract as no-one is that stupid, are they?

I studied there for three years and had absolutely no joy whatsoever, although in fairness that may say more about 18-21 year old me than it does about the local female to male ratio.

I think I read earlier in the thread that Feeney’s come back due to injury.

And no need to apologise, corrections is what I was hoping for.

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

Fingers crossed. £15m for Cam on £110k off the wage bill for Moreno - you’d hope that’s enough space for (sorry) the Dutch lad.

I’ll learn to spell his name if we sign him.
