Lyon attacking midfielder apparently set to sign for Forrest. Heard he is very highly rated and available for 15m. Surprised we haven’t taken a look

Who is to say we haven't?

Fair point.
I meant I’m surprised we are not after him at that price. Can play centre mid

We should certainly be in for this guy, especially at the reported £15m. Obviously no idea on wages but would add real quality to our midfield. You would think Pat would have an influence on the player over Forest if we did show show interest. Shame .

Feels like a no brainer at £15m. At 24 years of age you at least make your money back in 3 years.

If Forest are at the front of the queue there has to be another factor involved here. Maybe some issues around the dressing room, a silly wage number, a forward looking injury concern.

Textor playing hardball with Forest? Would like us to get him on board,

Would be a very decent acquisition IMHO.

Hopefully this has legs.

 

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I sometimes do wonder if the media get their stories from fans' forums. Anyway, on paper sounds like he would be a great addition and certainly more within our reach than MGW who has seemingly somehow become a £40m+ player. Are Forest entering two squads this season?

I thought the same but then I realised they have let lots of players go just not the same headlines. Whether they can integrate the new players with those that brought them up is another matter.

If we really want this guy it should be a no brainer Textor is the owner and can do us a solid, IF we want this guy.

What worries me having a owner with multiple football clubs is the potential for him to sell us a 2nd rate players at top dollar to subsidise Lyon. I am not saying that is the case here just the concern.

Yes, something of a conflict?

Does this story have legs or is it Textor/agent planting the story to improve terms with Forest?

 
Nicholas91 Flag The Democratic Republic of Kent 18 Aug 22 2.45pm

Just had a butch on Twitter and it appears NF are set to sign MGW which indicates we will be in for Aoaur. Also a lot saying he has many 'off the field problems' explaining why someone rated so highly by so many is being allowed to leave Lyon for such a snip.

Never believe anything I read anymore however but would appreciate any further insight!

Slightly off-tangent here(apologies) here is a piece on Josh Harris & his involvement with his company Apollo & the buying of a stake in Manure . . . [Link]

 

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

Will Forrest signing MGW open the door up to Aouar? If we were ever interested of course

That is being suggested by many. Apparently they had agreed personal terms with him but were reluctant to meet the asking price. May just pave the way for us if stories to be believed!

Palace BANANA Flag Ringmer, Lewes, East Sussex 18 Aug 22 5.29pm

From the video I've watched he looks a very classy and skilful player and only 24.. hope we end up buying him feel he would be a fantastic addition to our squad

 
Elphers40 Flag Sunny South Coast 18 Aug 22 6.19pm

This guy was linked with Liverpool a couple of years ago and more recently Arsenal.

A high energy, technically gifted AM - if this is correct then I think he could be exactly what we need. Ok potentially some off field issues- but with our holistic approach to player support the pro’s by far outweigh the con’s as far as I’m concerned with this one…..really hope it’s true!

 
edskan Flag 19 Aug 22 4.44am

Would be nice to poach a player from the grasp of another club's hands as it always seems to happen to us!

 
Dubai Eagle Flag 19 Aug 22 6.31am

At 24 he is of an age whereby if he has previously had off field issues (assuming attitude related) he really needs to decide to grow up & put his past behind him before it becomes irretrievable & he ends up playing in Turkey
