Surely after the shambles that is Man U, AWB cant wait to leave, a loan with a sensible option to buy must be on the cards. He would see it, as an opportunity to play in their first team and improve the team. As the current players aren’t working.

Very much follow that logic Painter however I'd also throw in there that the fans don't seem massively enamoured with him and... he has had his chance, and that hasn't worked out so well. May just be a 'money ting' in which case fair enough. For peace of mind etc however, if I were him, I'd come back to London at the very least but jump at Palace.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Never caused by AWB, not having him in the side has made no difference what so ever. Anyones form would suffer in that mess, and that’s true of everyone in that squad as the results continue to show. AWB is not the greatest player to have ever put on a red shirt but in this case has become some sort of scapegoat, typical treatment for the untried southern outsider. AWBs biggest problem going forward , apart from confidence is the £50 million they hung round his neck. Edited by Putitout (15 Aug 2022 10.23am) Edited by Putitout (15 Aug 2022 10.25am)

I don't believe it is as high as that figure.As far as I am aware they have signed 14 players for a total fee of around £115 Mill. Start adding on the agent fees, the signing on fees for the free transfers (especially Lingard's), all the wage contributions... Forest need these players to gel fast because West Ham should have absolutely battered them yesterday. Goal disallowed, penalty saved, two off the underside of the bar, one off the line, free header from 6 yards out... They may get a 1-0 win once a season but giving up those sort of chances isn't going to keep them up. Back to Palace, if United hold on to AWB then Djed Spence must be available on a loan. Clearly 3rd choice at Spurs at present, maybe even 4th behind Moura. Edited by ambrose7 (15 Aug 2022 10.31am)

Just watched the highlights on MOTD and haven't laughed as much for a good while. Suspect after that performance all the back line will be changed allowing AWB a chance to prove his worth.

Plus, he has played for Chelsea in the intervening period (albeit for a matter of minutes). Originally posted by rossboss29
I’m pretty sure there is nothing stopping us for a loan only again this year. This would be a separate transfer not in conjunction with the first. Perhaps if it was two year continuous loan it may be different but nothing I’ve heard of .

A couple of last minute loan signings maybe.

I'd be keen.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Not sure Luka would be. I wondered about that but surely he's too young to have been involved in Luka's scuffles with the national tram. I'd like to think it meant Luka approved if we've got as far as reported interest. He looks like a Gallagher replacement who might actually still be available by the time we finally decide CG isn't coming back.

You'd think in their current situation that would be a big plus.

Indeed we have seen it with our own Christian Benteke, everyone & his wife had an opinion on what we paid for him & how much a week he earnt including having guesses at whatever amount was agreed when new contracts were negotiated - this meant that whatever he did however realistic or reasonable that may or not have been it was judged against those numbers - Originally posted by Teddy Eagle

Might already be friends a lot of players are even if its say Fifa buddies over net. Not like the old days money is one of the main reasons you can sit at clubs doing nothing for millions now.

Hearing tonight that it could be any of the following: Dieng Sarr looking promising, expect AWB & Gallagher to go to last day & both possible loans still. We have also supposedly agreed a deal for Antoine Semenyo £9m plus £5m add-ons. As I said going to be an interesting final few weeks, club really want to back PV & Benteke going for £7m & wages saved has freed up some space on the wages front.

We do every year so why should this year be any different. Chelsea have a surplus of decent players and once Nottingham Forest realise that the 100 players that they have bought won't all fit into a squad of 25 they may have to loan some out. Funny if we get Kouyate back on loan
