J Lingz

[Derby My Arse]

Just watched his first interview and it seems like the enthusiasm and aggression with which the owners pursued him really helped make his mind up.

Sounds as if there was no way that Lingard was leaving from Greece until he had agreed to sign that contrct!

Anyone else a little concerned that we haven’t seen any quotes from Steve Cooper?
Every other signing has had the approval of the manager as part of the official statement.

[Sausage Roll]

Not really. If we've were chasing him from as soon as we got promoted I don't see any way they'd have done it without his approval.

No.

Dane on the other hand.

He is genuinely a top lad. Reliably informed that already had a positive impact and isn’t a me me me guy…
The time he took today with the young kids on site was brilliant I am told…

Yeah there's a video on Twitter of some of the U11s meeting him.

I loved what Worrall said in his interview on Sky Sports about Lingard:

"Signing players like Jesse Lingard should be the norm for Nottingham Forest."

Damn right.

Fewer touches of the ball than Dean Henderson yesterday and when he had the ball he did nothing with it before being hauled off the pitch by Cooper. I am not impressed so far.

Absolutely. He is a shadow of the player he was at West ham - I reckon, I have more chance of making the England team at the moment.

Buyers remorse

He just seems to be a luxury player right now. I don't think we can be starting him unless we change tactics. It's just leaving such a gaping hole in CM.

Also, did anyone notice his half arsed tackle just before they scored?

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Yes I think Cooper had seen enough at that point and not long after he hauled him off.

[DR Forest]

I raised concerns before but was told I was wrong by several others on here.
He was then dropped at Man City and yesterday was yesterday.
I hope I’m wrong but it doesn’t look good and Cooper can’t afford to be patient.
