IMO he needs some decent advice from his agent. Someone needs to tell him that first and foremost he has to do the business on the pitch. He'll probably realise when he's 30 and playing for Alfreton Town.
There has to be a question mark over his mentality.
Clearly talented, but completely hit a brick wall since he joined us.
Seems to have lost his belief, hunger, and is sitting on a pretty contract.
He has to do himself justice somewhere on loan in L1 next season or his career is in tatters
Football, like life, is in the mind.
I don't think Forest's scouting was strong enough then.
My lasting memory of Clough is two fold. One, him making a dynamic start to the 'acm' role and drifting in and out of games. A player with potential.
The 2nd? Clough talking in interview, with a big gob of gum he was chewing on and a blazay manner. That told me enough.
Forest need to be stronger in scouting. Rumours of scouting in Sweden and trying to unearth some gems with robust physicality AND mentality(!).
The days of Forest spending £3 million on average players need to come to and end. Sure, some players work out. Some don't. It's how you spend it. Leave no stone unturned. Think about the league you're in. Recruit accordingly. Be progressive.
Off the field, Forest are really getting there. But scouting is one of the final pieces perhaps that needs to be improved upon so that matters on the field can improve.
