Jamaal Lascelles

Apparently Spurs have made a bid.

Ideally I'd like to see him stay. He is our only centre half at the moment and if he isn't in the team at the beginning of the season, I'd hope that after a loan spell he would be playing for us by Christmas. Also if he is on our books a club with a multi-million pound asset on the books is going to be attractive to potential new owners. Thirdly, if he stays with us and has a decent season he will double his value.

Mark Arthur, are you reading this? If you are, you could keep him until the end of his contract and then give him away. Oh I forgot you've thought of that already.

it was actually £5million not £3million! http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/Nottingham-Forest-rejected-163-5m-bid-rookie-defender-Lascelles-January/story-12246464-detail/story.html

say we got 2million up front for him and another 2.5million for gunter. surely we could re-invest that into some decent young players

If we had say £5m from the sale of Gunter and Lascelles we could surely resign Lynch and maybe Anderson. Promote Freeman, Morgan and Darlow into the first team squad and sign up some freebies from the market. I see Cardiff got Lewis today who'd have been an excellent keeper if we decided to cash in on Camp. Problem at Forest is always the same, no urgency and by the time we get around to looking at the squad all the best options are already gone. We're too busy organising booze ups in flirida, good to see we have our priorities right???

ye ray i was thinking the same myself jetting to the USA who we flying with ryanair 10 euro flights very strange indeed for a club (supposedly) with no money

Check out the front office section of the Orlando City website and the profiles of the owners. That might indicate why Forest are travelling there. Cost to NFFC zero. We might even be meeting our new owners?

Interesting link - TRK.

Forest owned by a Forest fan, how could that possibly fail?

Lloyd, if we can afford to offer McCleary £10,000 a week then we can't be as skint as we fear. I'm sure Cotterill will be able to do something with the team, even if it is only season long loans.

We have to use what resources we have wisely, so if we can get a few million for a young player then we have to take it. Knowing our club we'd probably lose him on a free anyway.
