Because it's a message board for discussion and debate. So, you are advising we censor and stop using the word " negative"? If someone says a player must not be any good because nobody else has signed them already, I find it a pointless and negative contribution, but anyways, I won't use the bold N word anymore. It's a beautiful day, the permanegs and the happy clappers sitting around a campfire with flowers in our hair singing Kumbaya .

What an opening paragraph Ben Brereton was attracting admiring glances from some of the biggest clubs in England after breaking into the Nottingham Forest first team at the start of 2017. It would look like a rather rapid fall from grace then if the highly-rated striker now joined Blackburn Rovers for just £8 million.

What thread? Your link is to twitter Standard sneaky little hidden dig from you. Are you finished with being a ladyboy?

If we start slowly tonight we could be in for a stinker of a result. It is imperative that we hit the ground running here. We could get away with poor starts in league 1, we won't get away with it this season against 90% of teams.

To question the signing because "no one has signed him already or are in for him now" is surely negative and should be labelled as such, no?

The links are old, they have signed other players in the meantime. At the time Forest wouldn't sell.

Fair enough and good post. I am all for discussion and looking at what are the best options, however when fans say things like "we should be concerned because nobody else is in for him/has signed him already" it just seems to be needlessly and baselessly negative. I don't see those as fair reasons to question the signing.

Why the question mark? Are you asking me that? This is silly. Fans saying "well nobody else signed him or are interested in him". I don't understand what the point of this argument is. Firstly, ye have absolutely no idea what interest is or has been in him. No matter who we are linked with some fans seem to find a problem, yet if other clubs sign them, they are the bees knees and we missed a trick. I bet if Wigan were on the verge of signing Brearton for 8 million, the permaneg minority on here would be saying how Wigan are about the pull off a masterstroke, why can't we match them, this is exactly the type of player we should be signing etc etc It's comical

They aren't linked with every young player. In fact the young British players either club are linked with are few and far between. You can take it with a pinch of salt, but there is something in it. It was reported in numerous sources.

I watched the 1st episode last night. Very interesting insight alright. Pep is a crazy, obsessed genius. I will definitely stick with it for the series. I think the kit man made episode one. You could see his down to earth character was like the glue that held the team together. Was interesting to see how relaxed the players were with him. On another note, that Mane kung-fu kick on Ederson looked nasty when you see it from different angles. I winced

Liverpool and United were interested in him. Not every club in the Championship A-Needs this type of player B-Has 8 million to spend on him Worth 10 times more? Jesus, thats a touch optimistic

I don't think we would sell him for less than 15 million in January. Every player has a price. I am sure Mowbray won't want him to go whatever the price. I am not too worried about him leaving in January, next summer is a different story.

So no player is worth signing unless at least 2 clubs are in for him? Some fans will always find a problem.

Ah, let him have that, the poor fella

What kind of scumbag would do something like that

Brearton won the apprentice of the year, like Lookman did. Everton paid 11 million for him. Now they want 28 million. Maybe 8 million isn't so much in the grand scheme of things these days http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11478251/everton-demand-28m-from-rb-leipzig-for-ademola-lookman

Course it is, calling Forest a crackpot club can be done in isolation.

True, we have Palmer who can fill in if needs be. Although if Dack could only do 45 mins, I would be tempted to give him the 1st 45. If we get at these straight away, we could blow them away.

I reckon the player must want to leave. Otherwise the whole deal would be off the table already. Can't blame him, there is a real path for him here to be the main striker within a season or 2 for the foreseeable future. Forest are ultimately a crackpot club, even if they are throwing money around this year.

Based on..? I have heard little mention of these types of loans in the last few weeks. Its all loans to buy

I don't understand!

1-1 if Dack isn't fit, 3-1 if he is

When you have to make a comment like that instead of dealing with my point, it says it all about your own argument.

Where are you getting trolley dash from though? We needed around 5 new signings and we are still trying to get the deals done. I don't think we just bed for these players when word got out in the media
