That was sheer fan manipulation by the owner/CEO! I can't remember the last time Forest signed a player in June anyway.
NEP says we're trying to sign 33 year old Alan Hutton!!!!!
Plus they are offering a 2 year contract.
And selling/giving away a 31 year old quality defender, crazy.
It does seem a bit pointless selling Eric and buying Hutton. A like for like swap surely. Especially as neither are likely to be regular starters. Maybe Eric just wanted more games which is a good attitude to have and the manager couldn't guarantee that.
Age is an issue of course, but for a defender not as big an issue as it would be for midfielders or strikers.
Hutton is an OK signing. I don’t see how it improves is really though. Just provides adequate cover. We need to sign a few players that will actually improve us as a team if we are gonna get any better.
I also won’t believe we are about to spend £12-15m on a player until I see it. Am far to sceptical I am afraid!

Madness of signings, Happy days!
What do we realistically need?
Definitely a goalkeeper, left back, and striker. right back and DCM aswell.
Complete that shopping list then this season is gonna be very, very entertaining.
So with Goncalves being a striker, is he the wild card?
Hence Rumours of Karanka being dead set on a proven striker?

Fair enough, Percy has him down as a striker, and the bbc has him down as a forward.
As long as he scores
Yep fair play, can’t comolain at that. Let’s just hope they are good. Surely they are for that price?
I presume we are prepared to spend similar on other players? Wouldn’t make sense now to scrimp on players? The lad from Peterborough seems a decent punt to me?
Apologies. Got the two mixed up. Those positions I mentioned yesterday were for Carvalho.
Gonclaves plays left or right wing. He is right footed and can take free kicks.
No worries, Hopefully them coming as a pair speeds up them clicking.
———-goncalves/proven striker to be———-
Lolley/Osborn — carvalho/??? —— cash/????
Exciting stuff
Or with goncalves competing with cash at RW.
Nixon’s being abit cryptic, but it could be implied that the 13m figure is the total, including all the extras and clauses
