Forest have signed 27 players. PL league squads are limited to 25. I mean what the fuck.

£106 million for Enzo Fernandez has to be up there with the stupidest transfers of all time.

He cost £9 million a whole 6 months ago.

 

Which makes it one of the greatest pieces of business in modern sport.

Spurs spurring it up again. They initially loaned Doherty to Atletico, then realised they were already at the limit of their players on loan, so had to mutually agree to terminate his contract so he could sign for Atletico, and thereby lose any fee from a sale.

 

 

[KevieG]

Fernandez looked good in the world Cup, but no better than McAlister. 105 million seems excessive. Looked more and steady eddie type. 

 

Of all the midfielders, including Touchameni, I thought Bellingham stood out most. 

[an tha]

I suppose along with all the other breaks they have been afforded by the league, chelsea will be allowed to finalise this Fernandez deal well after the deadline....

[Chip Butty]

More bad news for Liverpool. Naby Keita has fallen out of the transfer window and will miss the rest of the season.

 

 

 

from a mate.

Yes indeed.  There are some (very) few players where selling them for any amount of money just makes you look stupid in the eyes of history.  Enzo Fernandez is not going to be one of those.

[Harry Squatter]

River Plate get about £28m of that transfer fee and sold him to Benfica last season for £9m. 

 

Decent money for them.

 

Wonder if they have an Echo style paper in Buenos Aires "How Benfica can make River Plate millions"

[The Midnight Rambler]

Benfica getting over €200m for Fernandez & Nunez in 6 month is absolutely incredible. If they invest probably, the might become one of the best teams in Europe.

[an tha]

Fernandez 29 appearances for Benfica and going for over 10 times what they paid for him and a new British transfer fee record.

 

Football is fucked, we are entering even by the ridiculous standards of the game a whole new era of madness.

I think 4th is still possible, Guimeres is now out of our game, win at Newcastle and we will catch them. We've been quite lucky in recent weeks, Toney, Trossard and Caicedo have missed our games, the wolves goal ruled out, marginal offsides going in our favour. 

Great spirit, I’ll give you that.

 

But need to remind you that the injuries to those players you mention didnt exactly make us win games. Perhaps they helped avoid a total humiliation, but that wont bring many points.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Oh well 9th in the league and we've chosen to stand still... again. Other sides will drop points but we will drop more, we've had to tighten up there's no way round that but we don't look like we can score. Shit season.

Feels like we thrown the towel in unless and I’m clutching straws here we got something big lined up this summer

Although we have been lucky with players being out, we still lost all those games! 

I will accept a large part of my frustration has come from the contempt that Athletic article treated supporters with. I was disappoint with what I assume we’d do in this window (ie nothing after Gakpo) but to blame electrical and match day travel costs just insults our fan base intelligence. 

 

Normally, I’m as optimistic as they come, I sincerely hope I’m wrong, I just don’t see it is getting Top 4. I think we have more chance of winning the CL and even though I’ve seen worse sides than this win the CL, I don’t see that happening either.
 

You can count on one hand the amount of times we’ve played well this season.
 

I can accept not playing well, it happens. Towards the end of the COVID19 season, we weren’t playing well but we got results by wanting it and sheer force of will. 
 

I’ve said multiple times, we’ve not looked up for the fight all season. Other teams are hungrier and we’ve been unable to match it.

 

Klopp commented this weekend players didn’t look arsed going out the FA Cup. 
 

Regardless of how we’re playing, we don’t want it enough and haven’t since the first kick of the season.
 

I sincerely hope I’m wrong, I don’t see us sticking a great league or CL run together. 
 

Yes, we’ve been unlucky with injuries. We’ve changed formations, we’ve changed personnel, we’ve had a second pre-season, we’ve had mostly free weeks this year (and will continue until Madrid) to work it out on the training ground and we’ve seen, at best, minimal improvements. 
 

Some feels badly off. Whatever Klopp is trying at the moment isn’t getting the expected results.
 

I’m not saying we should be buying Bellingham or Fernandez this window, I’m hugely frustrated that we couldn’t even get somebody on loan or somebody coming to the end of their contract to tie us over until the summer. The mancs started looking yesterday morning and had somebody signed by yesterday evening!

Some of the transfer fees being paid by Chelsea and Man City are pure dick-swinging, and nothing to do with the value of the player.

Another inspirational Echo story…

To save you the time, we want Bellingham & Nunes in the summer.

So what is the bad news?

Got to hope this blows up in their faces.

Another flaccid article from Pearce. 
 

Gary Neville’s moustache had more substance to it…

Agree and has knock on effect of inflating the market value for the likes of Bellingham . 

[El Rojo]

Even if he'd hit the ground running, which he hasn't, the Gakpo signing was a very odd one. It only makes sense if deals have already been agreed for Bellingham and Nunes for the summer.
