Also a big Emi jumped on his back and gave him a cuddle like a big brother would.  Bring him home

Dougie would be welcomed back by me


With the Tielemans injury news it goes from nice option to have to a get him in now.

The assumption is he hasn’t done great at Forest yet a couple of people on here have said he passed the eye test and that their fans like him.  Anyone got any intel on this?

A quick browse of their forum suggests it's a mixture between "it's not like he's done anything for us to give a toss about losing him" and "he's clearly good, but he's never going to work in a Dyche team".

He's been injured a fair bit for Forest and when he does get to play he's often the first to be subbed due a neck strain from watching the ball countlessly sail over his head. Playing him as a deep lying defensive midfielder hasn't played to his potential. They don't even let him take corners.

My only concern is his ex has just moved to Leicester, far too close to home given what happened the last time at Villa.

Maybe we need to bring in Dougie AND Loftus Cheek now ?

Might aswell get Ramsey back too. What's Snodgrass at these days?

I was pretty happy with this, but with the Tielemans news it needs to happen.

Has his own weekly internet radio show, where he talks football and real ale. Snodcast.

I've just seen Carlos 'The Rock' Sanchez at One Stop, Perry Barr.  Coincidence?

This makes me happy. More footballers should use their retirement this productively. It’s too perfect.

What's the situation with the Luiz transfer? I thought there were complications? I hadn't really been paying attention but it's got quite pertinent.

He’s seemingly an agent nowadays.  I just wanted to make the Snodcast pun.

Booo! An agent is the opposite end of the spectrum.

Get him back, we’ve got hardly anyone left.
