Couldn't care less about the 'size' of the club; my favourite thing about Forest is our uniqueness. Made apparent from our achievements, the people involved in our history, the location, and the continued unpredictability. Like no other. The badge is perfect. #nffc

@ScottF_NFFC@dalesilvermat3 Always feel guilty when his name pops up as I genuinely saw a player in there. Just clearly a bit of a cock and he was far too old to get away with that. 🤣
@mariknackered@AlbonosReds Thank you! Used to be underrated when fans saw him as disposable and he was being linked to Turkey for £10m, but it's swung back round now. He's incredibly replaceable and should not be starting games consistently in the middle for a side with ambitions higher than 17th.
@1ft14 Yep, hoping MGW/Neco can both get new deals sorted this summer. Not having European football to deal with should make planning for next year a lot easier, in theory at least.
Was never leaving. Not even because of love for the club or whatever, the bids just weren't going to be there this summer. And there's not a chance we sell MGW either, who again, probably won't have clubs bidding at the price we want. Only Anderson goes from our core. #nffc
@1ft14 Buying players after/when making a big sale is always chaotic, so I don't know if we'll be able to avoid it entirely, but I hope so! I don't think letting Anderson go early helps as it becomes obvious that we have money to spend...
Neco has been outstandingly consistent but MGW has hit new heights. He has to be awarded for that. 14 goals from midfield is unreal and the reason we've survived without a fit goalscoring striker. Let's not be silly. #nffc
@AndyMcgahey1 Would've taken him last summer over either of McAtee/Hutch! No real place for him now with Bakwa here too, but I don't think you're wrong to bring him up. He'll be a snip for someone. Would love to upgrade CHO with a winger that has more output. Wouldn't play Elliot on the left
Ait Nouri would be at the top of my list this summer. Excelled under VP at Wolves and wasted at City. Murillo will stay + Jair is too good to sit on the bench all season, so 3 CBs becomes viable. Not cheap (£30m~) but it's a huge upgrade on Aina/Netz as the other starter. #nffc
@rocky3red Fingers crossed he has a stormer of a WC. Utd back in the UCL and fighting for a transfer with City. Could be tasty. No better time for Rice to win the league either as that's a useful reference point at £100m.
@rocky3red Get the feeling that Murillo has clocked out mentally but I just don't see the bidders being there. Injury record isn't perfect but nowhere near bad enough for us to cut our losses. We'll want 60+ for him but noone comes in at more than 40.
@rocky3red UCL would've been another story (Villa/Newcastle reference point) but nothing changes from this season imo. We'll be after the same level of player (30-35m) as last summer. Anderson sale will open the door to another 2-3 big ones. Beyond certain he's all that'll go.
@rocky3red Impossible to replace Anderson so that quality has to come from elsewhere imo! Thought for a while now that we could really do with a forward threat on that side. Diouf at West Ham is probably the cheaper option who I like considering his age. Admit wages are a problem for A-N.
@StevoNFFC Precisely, bud. We're not nearly as savvy as Brentford are, so I sincerely hope the club aren't naive enough to consider them as a reference point (Mbeumo/Wissa/Norgaard etc). Have to learn from Wolves' failure.
Think we're in a somewhat precarious place heading into the summer. Anderson will go, but we can't let MGW leave no matter what.
We've accrued a lot of below average (PL) players, and seen decline in others, that could easily turn us into fodder if we're not very careful. #nffc
Just to illustrate what I mean, in no world does this side finish above 16-17th. In an injury-hit season with Savona/Morato playing frequently, that's a terrifying prospect.
Granted, I believe only Anderson will go, but we do need to be very careful. A big summer ahead. #nffc

Still questions over VP too considering his record at other clubs and how this season went at Wolves. Players were sold but that likely mirrors what will be the case for us this summer. #nffc
