Get Dougie in on loan if Forest are sending him back. I appreciate the fact that Forest might send him back is somewhat of a red flag.

Is there any suggestion that they can, or want to send him back?

My Forest supporting friend seems to think they want to. No idea what his source is. Can't find anything online other than other Forest fans speculating that they might.

Thought the suggestion on his clause was that he had to play 45 minutes + of a certain amount of games to trigger obligation hence why he is sub and comes on for 35 mins each week as Forest don’t want to play the obligation fee?

Id bring him back for sure. But more to replace Barkley really. Id bring back Ramsey too, technically that can be done I think.

Well if we want to spend £50 mill I assume technically it can be done.

(It will be how much extra Newcastle drop on top for a desperate team minus what they owe us and with the player then potentially getting the wage boost he wanted but I suspect it will totally fuck up our accounts for UEFA).

Leon Bailey leaves AS Roma and returns to Aston Villa from initial loan with immediate effect.

I'd be trying to end Ruben Neves saudi nightmare by bringing him back to the prem. I'd also see if Ngolo Kante has anything left in the tank. Give them the "we can win the title with you" speil

Would welcome Bailey back as an option to be honest. Signal that Guessand is likely going.

If we want to sell him in the summer a run of a few games could help him and us.

He'll probably go back out on loan though.

🚨🟣🔵 Aston Villa are advancing in talks with Besiktas to get Tammy Abraham deal done.

Agreement sealed with the player as Tammy opened doors to #AVFC move.

Club to club talks moving fast, not done yet but well underway.

Not being funny but Leon could be very useful in the Europa League games and off the bench in the league.

The most pertinent question regarding Bailey is is he fit?
