We have to cut costs. Young and up and coming is the way to. I've seen Forest fans on twitter going on about Hopper from Celtic. We need to be realistic. With FFP players that will cost £1m+ and will wont 10k a week+ are probably out of our price range.
I thought last season when people were saying we need pace. I agree but who do we leave out. Because the midfield 4 we put out under Billy last season was packed full of ability and I wouldn't want to take any of them out the side.
Think it will be 4-4-1-1 with Cox playing slightly behind the main striker even though if it is Hendo it should be the other way around with Cox IMO.

Why does wingers mean 442 - could just as easily be 4-5-1. Or even a fluid 4-3-3 - Paterson, I am led to believe, is a winger and a striker, so 4-3-3 could def be a possibility with him. I still hope we're going to bring one more winger in at least - McLaughlin didn't get a game last year so doubt he's ready. Also, it would be silly to just have two wingers if we're planning on playing with width regularly. Wingers are the most fragile of footballers and we'll need back up.
I really can't believe that somebody is worrying about us bringing wingers in. It's exactly what we need. That is very very obvious. And if there's more competition between Raddi, Lewis, Reidy and the like then good - it might make them step up every time they play instead of just when they fancy it.
Don't get it. Obviously the team wasn't good enough so we need to build. You replace Lewis, radi and andy Reid with better players end of.
Paul Taylor's just tweeted that the Paterson medical was completed last night and we should get an official announcement today. Just so you know, like!
Good
Now we just need
Another CB, another winger and an out and out striker and we should be good!......until January
I can see Patterson in the team with McLaughlin on the bench and vice versa throughout the season. Think it would be a rare occasion when both played.
Regarding the likes of Sterling, etc, they would cost a bomb in wages and we would be developing players for other teams who would then benefit from the transfers fees if they then sold them on. Far Better to develop our own talent, such as Patterson/McLaughlin, and sell them on ourselves if needs be.
wingers arent exactly reknown for lasting entire seasons without injuring. Tbh, i like what we'll have on the wings once we have paterson in (hes allegedly passed his medical, announcement pending).
Lansbury and raddi competing for CM. Reid and loffy competing for LW, and both bring different of kinds attibutes. The same on the RW, i guess paterson would be competing with lansbury, especial if we play a 4-3-3.
I still beleive both have a solid future ahead of them here if given the chance.
Paterson's goals are on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrrrkpapF5g&feature=youtu.be
He's definitely not an old fashioned winger from looking at that. He seems more an attacking mid than someone hugging the touchline.

Red, why worry, this just gives us more options. Last season when things weren't going right and we were struggling to break teams down we tended to have to swap players like for like but keep on playing the same system. Now if the midfield is being countered by the opposition we can change things and formations much easier and vice versa if we start with wingers and they are being nulified we can easily revert to the type of system we had last season.
