That would not surprise me Jock. I think Kenny might be right.
A four million loss though? That is painful.
Painful yes, but if he stays for another year and his performances remain the same, then he will be worth even less. To be honest, even 7 to 9 million is quiet a good figure, and who will sign him he will be gambling on him.
I see only a Premiership team or a return back to Portugal, for a figure like that to be true. No team in the Championship or somewhere in the continent (apart from the top teams), will be willing to spend that sort of money on an unproven player. Who knows maybe he will go to Greece.
9 million in MoN spend gets us what we need to get promoted. He's very canny. He's done his pre-season 'on the fly' in 'match testing' situations. He knows who can 'man up' and who hasn't got the bottle for it. And you need bottle if you're going to get our of this league. Every time we've come close to the top 6 we've bottled it. In front of full City Ground crowds or away from home.
Car' may do well in a Premiership squad where he can be developed eg. At Chelsea or wherever.
But Forest can't afford that luxury of £13.5 million being wrapped up in a single, under developed, under performing, non-Championship ready player.
Not when we need a no.1 keeper of better quality, a LB, an ACM who can, another winger and at least another striker. All of these things have dogged our progress this season.
