Developing Our Squad For Season 2021/22

[Strawberry Avenger]

Daft decision if we let Ameobi go. Value for money he trounces either Knockaert or Freeman, no fee and simply extending a modest contract. We would struggle to get anyone as effective for a similar outlay.
Would understand if he wants to leave to be a more regular start but would think that would be at a lower level.

Yep, I couldnt understand why 1 he was only offered another one year deal and 2 why he accepted a one year deal. His season under Sabri more than merited a decent contract imo.

Hes played the last two seasons at risk. Its understandable he'd want some security. Considering the money that been spent on Knockaert, Taylor, Arter wages, he's a no brainer for me.

Good p0int.   :cool:

I’d be surprised if Ameobi stays- told he has a ‘Taylor’ injury- one which protects his next contract elsewhere...

Perfectly understandable. Put yourself in his shoes, most would do it. I just hope we're currently negotiating with him.

Its a shame if he goes. Weve really missed him of late. He'd be in my side every week.

I think he's the best all round winger we have.  Got a club hammer of a shot on him.  He's robust and can play a bit.  'Gets' the hustle and bustle of the Championship.  Has goals and assists in him.  Just not consistent.  As many wingers aren't.  Clucus only has 2 goals for example.

Has a good unpredictable quality to him.  He'd be worth another year.

I would also like to see Ameobi stay but does he want it? I am not convinced.

No harm on him testing the market before making his mind up. He will be fully aware that Johnson is returning and likely to play in his position, same with Lolley possibly.

Depends if he gets a better offer financially (doubtful) or with more certain playing time (possible)

My guess is he wants a three year deal and the club don't want to commit so he's looking elswhere.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson being sold this summer, so I'd like to see Ameobi stay, we look a lot more of a threat when he's in the team.

Probably about right.

3 years is probably too long in my opinion - would like to think a 2 year compromise would work.

Yeah.  He aint getting 3 years.  I'd be surprised if he did.  He hasn't been 'that' consistent.  But he'd be useful to have as part of a 'four' winger set up.

:cool:

I think at this current time, he's the best of what we have got.  We do have more threat when he plays.  He's been a miss in the last couple of games.

Our most effective winger in the last 2 years

I read a report (in the Notts Post I think) saying there are a number of clubs lining up for Johnson and he is currently valued at about £10M!

Given the fact that his dad has been somewhat disrespectful to Forest over the past few months, I can actually see Johnson being this years sacrifice to the clubs finances.

It all boils down to what Chris Hughton thinks of him upon his return
