I am amused and disappointed, but not surprised to see Forest are being strongly linked with players like 37-year-old Glenn Murray and 31-year-old to be (in February) Dan Gosling (who is also injury prone). What will they add to Forest, just another two old players on last contracts?
That is not building the club for the future, it is only going to impact us more on FFP as neither are investments (no sell on value) and will probably mean selling off more of our younger players to pay for the bad recruitment mistakes the club are continually making.
To rub salt in the wounds to say, Bournemouth will let Gosling leave, so they can bring in Ben Pearson from Preston is simply crazy as all we are doing is helping another team offload their deadwood, so they can bring in a better player, that can’t be right.
We should be going for Ben Pearson ourselves if we ever want to be fighting for Promotion.
How will older Players like that help Forest when they can’t even get into the Watford of Bournemouth sides this year?
If these are players Chris Hughton is demanding, then perhaps he isn’t the right manager for Nottingham Forest, he certainly isn’t getting the best out of the players he currently has.
What is the Clubs Transfer Strategy?
There doesn’t seem to have one, therefore is it any wonder we are heading to League One. We need ambition and passion from the owners, we need to actually hear from there (all we get is silence) and we need to be excited about the future and believe we are in good hands. At the moment that couldn’t be further from the truth. Signing more players at the very end of the career will not change supporters’ minds.
This could turn out to be another disastrous transfer window.
