Probably why we could never get any deals over the line or, if we did, why they were on such massively unfavourable terms. Possibly an issue, but we know Venkys were a big problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose his business card didn’t have room for ‘Head of Real Estate’ too… He'd be better off with the title of Head full of air, or better still Mr Dandruff Sandwich the 3rd.

Ulrich Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I thought there was not a sell on as we paid 7m. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butty Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Is it only me who thinks there’s no chance a team pays 20 million for BBD with a year left on his deal? We got 15 for Armstrong in the same contractual situation after he’d scored 28 goals, maybe Ben has a bigger profile with the whole Chile thing but for me I’d be surprised if we got more than 15 for him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrich Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 15m would be very disappointing for BBD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Danny O.Brien said: Yeah the brerton deal was a loan with obligation to buy as well. Seven million does sound like a lot, considering the amount of football and more importantly senior goals he'd got at forest. High fee, low wages was the word put out on the street by Waggot at the time. Also i'm sure 'no clauses' was also chucked about on here as a defense for the club paying so much.

Meaning if we got 20 that's 13 profit, so they would get 2.6 if my maths is right. Does the taxman get some as well ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose his business card didn’t have room for ‘Head of Real Estate’ too… he had the dual (triple?) role of assistant manager and director of football / technical director, but was only officially known as the assistant manager. i think.. cue someone a bit more in the know to clear that up a bit!

And looking at how his first season went there I don’t think we’ll be seeing those 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think BBD is more likely to be a success in the Prem than Armstrong. His all round game is better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBRFC Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 The exciting platters we get linked with between now and say mid July won't happen. It will be similar to getting linked with Farke and Cavalhal and them going elsewhere because we're too slow off the mark. Hope there are still some decent bargains to be had in August 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual fee we paid was closer to £3m-£4m, which means any percentage of profit owed to Forest will actually be higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers11 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Very quiet on the transfer front but I'm sure things are bubbling up nicely behind the scenes. We usually only find out about players joining us around 48 hours before they actually join. And it's about the same time that I ever knew those players existed! I'm not sure any had predicted or heard of Khadra, Van Hecke, et al this time last year. I trust the manager to get it right in the transfer market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoversClitheroe Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Saadi contract extended now 20 years old. Heard good things a few years ago but nothing since. Is he's capable of breaking into the first team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he's capable of breaking into the first team? Not yet. We need some experienced bodies in, I’m all for giving a couple of the young boys a spot on the bench now and then but we’ve got to get the right balance of experience and youth. I’m hoping we sign a couple of experienced pros on frees and then loan some young talent in, or in the Bosnian lads case, buy him outright. I guess it’s hard to say without knowing the exact budget we’ve got, but expecting 5 or 6 of the under 23s to come into the squad is way to much, the difference between under 23 and championship football is massive.

Danny O.Brien Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Yeah especially since the five sub rule is coming back next season. No harm in having a few of the academy lads on the bench for a some game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’ve seen some fans on twitter expecting Phillips, Vale, Leonard, Garrett and Brown all to be starting games! That would be suicide, for the club and for the lads themselves. Get them out on loan and get them some game time, with the exception of Brown maybe who I expect to be our backup right back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
