How do feel about selling Zink?
I am not sure he was Premier Leaugue quality, plus as others have said not ours anyway.Apart from the goalkeeper issue which has hopefully been solved, the two wing backs are a must, plus midfield as we got over run easily towards the end of the season. This means maybe Garner isn't quite there yet and (I hope I am wrong) Yatesy. I would love him to succeed but for me the jury is out on whether he can make the grade as a first pick rather than squad player.
Feel very confident that in Coops and Dane, they know exactly what is needed.

New defender too.
Forest just seem so much slicker on and off the field under Marinakis
I think it's Murphy as we were poor under the previous CEO who was a Marinakis man, with some dross being bought for mega bucks, anyone remember Carvahlo?Forest just seem so much slicker on and off the field under Marinakis
Now just Niakate plus the two young boys from Huddersfield and some class in the form of M G-W
Not stupid sums of money being spent...well actually it is but that's football

My Bro-in-law is an ardent Foxes fan and staying with us on the south coast for a few days.
He seems pretty depressed with the lack of any transfer action by Leicester and really pessimistic for this season.
Going to be an interesting season for Forest and a challenge for Steve Cooper to get all these new players to gel quickly so we are not immediately facing a worrying start to Premiership life. In Cooper we trust though!

Mad money that, gotta be careful you don't go bust trying to stay in the Prem.
Decent player on his day though, his WHU form was superb.
He really was a star player at WHU last season.Decent player on his day though, his WHU form was superb.
I don't think the owner is thinking about fighting relegation, he seems prepared to invest every penny of the Sky money back into the club.
If it costs us £12M it's a pretty good investment.

Seems the truth is more like 80k a weeks and up to 120k it’s additions.
Agree it has potential to unsettle the dressing room, but bringing in new players always has that risk.

We have no option but to spend, with only Johnson, Worral, McKenna being potential Premiership quality and Cook, Yates, Cafu and Colback really just back up squad players.
Teams like Bournemouth who have been up and down and have a strong squad of mainly Premiership players and benefitted from Golden Parachute payments haven't needed to add in anywhere near the same volume.
Cooper's got a though task, but I am confident he has the ability to get them to gel.
Just glad we have EM and Dane running the club.

Bought my West Ham ticket today. Nothing left in A block so returning to Trent End Upper for first time in ages.
Anyone else going?
Unfortunately (or not) living on the South Coast, I couldn't justify a season ticket for the few matches I could attend or my pension could afford.Anyone else going?
Will have to rely on my "old Red hero" family member to get me one for the really interesting games
