Would have to be players who want prem football, but have never yet made it.

Or hes worried about his job if hes honest? and comes out with it
Particularly on deadline dayPercy not giving me much time to relax
Inside Nottingham Forest's £100m survival mission
Ahead of their first season in the Premier League since 1999, Forest’s planning has been meticulous and disciplined, yet also ambitiouswww.telegraph.co.uk
"More money will be spent before the transfer window closes. Wolves attacker Morgan Gibbs-White is the No 1 target, and Forest will have to break their transfer record again to sign him. Talks last week did not result in any agreement and Wolves insist the former England under-21 international - who will cost up to £30m - will start the season with them. "
If we accept and sell MGW, i dont know where we are heading, leicester are struggling and may lose their best players, but im concerned even with this big price tag Lage is slapping on Neves, that united will get him if they come in, they are yet to actually come in. If they lose interest in de jong, he will then go
Thats potentially 90m from MGW and Neves, but thats a ****ing lot to replace IMO
I was never a big critic of Thelwell although one face value he didn't seem to get everything right I thought he became an easy target for the fans, I even said to him once that his biggest problem was we all think we can do his job better.
I dont understand enzo fernandes and what happened there i really dont
Not saying Sellars is the man for the job but I think IMO it is a yes man's game under the current setup.
Hes just rehashing the more obscure.

Clearly not there was the MGW propaganda now Ronan, expect hes to stay and is part of the plans
Problem is would he want to come? It seems that whoever we try and get now (apart from Collins) the fee isn't the issue it's persuading the players of the quality we want and need to sign.
This year was “we need a refresh”
OK... maybe then.
It's a bit of an in-joke. One of their contributors has a reputation for successfully predicting unlikely relegation candidates and he said he thought we could struggle. They turned this into a joke about how we're nailed on to go down as a way of poking fun at the media hype machine and that contributor. None of the contributors on that episode thought we'd go down and the general consensus was as it is on here: if our first team stays fit and we can score goals we'll be fine, but goal scoring and strength-in-depth could see us struggle.
Was it Deano or Paul Merson? Both hate our club in different ways, both somehow got decent pundit jobs?!
As bad as things are in terms of incomings, I don't have us anywhere near relegation this season. I'd have thought there would be five teams more likely than us to go down.
What an absolutely ridiculous post. Best few years of watching wolves for decades and you come out with that.
Might be a good time to get on those relegation odds then actuallyA few noises that suggest Stever might be right.
Apart from Wolves, you don’t waste time on a target that doesn’t want to join, so Forest obviously getting encouraged from MGW. And Percy mentions the £30m fee he said.
Ornstein saying Chelsea hoping to strike deal for De Jong, which would mean United turn elsewhere - Neves.
Now just need a rumour about Coady.
Typical that the only actual ITK would be one with the bad news
All very well in practice and on a macro level I agree with you but Fosun have made their own problems by recruiting extremely poorly the last time they pumped money in when we signed Fabio, who at 35m is in his third season is laoned out without any other senior back up striker, and Semedo who is ok but we vastly overpaid for in the context of what we sold his replacement for and his extra wages, and for kicking the can down the road particularly on having any plan to upgrade or even replace on a like for like basis the midfield. If we don't get a midfielder in Neves will 100% be off next season, Moutinho who is already a diminshing force will once again be out of contract and Dendonker who has been very poor for 2 seasons now will be running down to the end of his contract so we would probably need to replace at least 2 and possibly all 3 midfielders and with what money to do so? If we're not careful the prudency alongside the incompetency of rectuitment in the last 2 years leads to ever decreasing circles that will culminate in us being back in the Championship.
The one thing i have seen about gibbs-white is they are really put off by the 30m which does go with what stever said, that he will only go if valuation met.A few noises that suggest Stever might be right.

No I am still in pre-mod, hopefully one day that can change but it’s cool.
Indeed, both deals being good were contingent in the other half of them. Still time for adama to sign an extension but the silva deal was ill timed, no question.
An interesting point to think about is how little opposition these radical changes faced. The major Covid losses almost certainly have played a big role here. The new 70% rule effectively mandates that all clubs will now operate at a profit of some degree, so all clubs will be able over the next few years be able to recover some of the losses for the Covid affected period. UEFA have exploited this crisis to further cement the monopoly advantage of the top group, (there are13 clubs in the Rich list with a clear lead over the rest).What is often missed in this discussion is the impact of ever-tightening UEFA spending rules, justified under
some nonsense sustainability criteria. See for a comprehensive and well-written summary:
UEFA's new financial sustainability regulations to replace FFP: All you need to know
What are UEFAS new financial sustainability rules? What are the punishments for breaking the rules? When do the new rules start? Is everyone in favour of the new rules? Heres everything you need to know....www.skysports.com
What about competitive balance? Will this give smaller clubs more of a chance to compete with the big clubs?
The new rules are about financial stability and not competitive balance. They are designed to make sure clubs are run properly, they are not designed to make competitions fairer or more equal. UEFA has decided to drop the name 'Financial Fair Play' because they believe it gave the false impression that they were trying to create a level playing field. They will continue to look at competitive balance but their key objective has so far been financial stability.
In particular note this paragraph:
These come into effect, in a staggered way, from June 2022, ie now.
Wolves operate on a wages level of 70% of turnover. The new regulations now include spending on transfers and agent fees as part of this 70%. This represents a major tightening of possibility for ambitious clubs, who will be forced to lower their wages over the next three years to allow for transfer activity.
Not enough has been said or written how much advantage this gives the top group with their much higher turnover.
Nor for that matter, how the raised limits for allowable losses, (up to 60m Euros over a three year period), can meaningfully be used
by clubs hoping to build their squads up when the 70% rule applies.
Its a complex area, which partly explains the lack of discussion and protest. But it is also partly explained by a generalised resignation amongst the football public that the cartel at the top of the game are more or less irresistible in their insatiable desire to remove the competitive element from the game as far as humanly possible.
