RUMOUR from Fabrizio Romano:-
"???? ?? ??! Tottenham agree deal to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Forest ??
Spurs trigger £60m release clause after direct contact with Nottingham Forest today, club has been informed.
Medical booked set to take place in 24h, Telegraph has confirmed with formal steps of move being completed. "

Horror story. Not even a raesonable fee. Who's next?
2.) 11 Jul 2025 13:02:44
Just been reading how the owner is angry. What a joke. It's his club and, as with EVERYTHING else in life, the one at the top HAS to take responsibilty. Just as with the Captain of a ship or the driver of a vehicle, it is his fault and he shouldn't be allowed to blame anyone else!
3.) 11 Jul 2025 13:38:00
Not sure how this works but according to Fabrizio Romano we are preparing a complaint for an illegal approach.
4.) 11 Jul 2025 15:37:52
No I don't know what happens next either. Hope PL can adjudicate soon. Not a saga youd want to drag on.
5.) 11 Jul 2025 16:20:21
Wasn't MGW bought under a different owner and coach at Forest? Maybe no-one amongst them read the fine print?
6.) 11 Jul 2025 17:02:15
If the approach is illegal then slap another 50mil on the price tag and let the t*rd go?.
7.) 11 Jul 2025 20:03:18
He will go whatever the legal challenge will be as anything with the Pl and the big clubs will be smoothed over with a fine if it can be proved. Obviously MGW agent that has given the information to spurs and MGW will just change agents and Forest won't be compensated, so have to move on from MGW, been signed to help them with CL squad rules.
8.) 11 Jul 2025 20:07:13
Someone needs sacking for putting a £60 million release clause in his contract. Especially when all the add-ons on the initial deal totalled up to £42 million. Representing a miserly £18 million profit and Wolves getting some of it.
08 Jul 2025 15:05:09
Rumor from John Percy (Torygraph) :-
"Bakayoko, the Belgium international, is emerging as a top target for Forest with talks expected to open with the Eredivisie club over a potential move to the Premier League. ”.
1.) 08 Jul 2025 18:16:36
Edu was trying to get him for Arsenal, but he didn't fancy playing second fiddle to Saka, Bakayoko could be Edu's official acquisition for Forest?.
2.) 08 Jul 2025 21:56:05
Yes, I'm thinking who would Eduy go for too, Mossy.
Bokayoko, Yilmaz, Fofana, Pepe, Grealish. Brighton’s Simon Adringa and Ipswich’s Omari Hutchinson according to TBR football. I've missed a few.
Pepe is believable. Brazilian (Edu again).
3.) 08 Jul 2025 22:38:34
He'll go to a Champions League side. Chelsea Monaco and Dortmund are also interested. I don't think we have much chance of attracting him to the WFCG.
07 Jul 2025 14:57:16
RUMOUR from the ever reliable Fabrizio Romano:-
"Palmeiras have agreed deal to sign Ramón Sosa from Nottingham Forest for $14m transfer fee.
Formal steps to follow, deal done and here we go. "
1.) 07 Jul 2025 21:34:10
On your bike son ? beat me to it?.
2.) 07 Jul 2025 22:30:30
Elanga on his bike too.
Romano:-
“EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Elanga to Newcastle, here we go! Deal in place club to club with Nottingham Forest for £55m. Agreement also in place with player’s camp on long term deal. Excellent addition for #NUFC. ”.
3.) 08 Jul 2025 10:42:21
Amazing $$ for both players. Don't know how much united get in the sell on clause but some serious ffp help and money in the kitty. Lookman is rumoured for stupid money. Anything over £20 mil is insane. I think we need 2 player in soon and then 2-3 more around deadline week as we are in a good position financially and will be able to get players who want to leave clubs asking too much.
4.) 08 Jul 2025 15:55:19
We need 2 full backs (unless we are going to start using Moreira) and at least 1 winger (Jesus can play out wide). I'd go for another forward, as well, who can also play on the wing rather than a second winger. If we sell Jota then we need another.
We look good at CB and midfield we aren't desperate.
Do we need a keeper to send Miguel out on loan for minutes?
DO we have enough English academy and also enough Fporest academy players for Europe yet?
01 Jul 2025 17:52:02
Rumour from Fabrizio Romano:-
"EXCL: Nottingham Forest have agreed deal with Olympique Lyon for Malick Fofana… but no agreement yet on player side.
Fofana, waiting for Champions League clubs with Chelsea still keen on the player.
Understand Bayern and Napoli have also called to make initial approach. "
1.) 02 Jul 2025 05:22:12
How can you a agree on a player deal when you haven't spoken to player?
For a start he won't be coming to Forest and forest will struggle to get quality proven player's.
This Fofana like the other player's are watching and waiting for Champions League club.
We all know if Forest did get one of those place's they wouldn have queue lining up to join.
2.) 02 Jul 2025 12:35:46
Every player who wants to go to a Champ's League club doesn't get to. Also, clubs are supposed to agree BEFORE you can officially approach a player. That's actually meant to be the rules.
3.) 05 Jul 2025 10:50:04
Rule's. hmmmmm Newcastle approached Elanga directly i'm led to believe?
Forest will have a very difficult season.
4.) 06 Jul 2025 11:05:09
If Jesus rips up the league and knocks in 25 goals, with our defence, we could finish top 4.
17 Jun 2025 11:15:00
On the "three" Brazilian players from Bofotogo:
Sport Witness are reporting that Textor (the owner) says only Jair and Jesus (who both scored in the Club World Cup) are coming to Forest.
Cuibano, the full-back, may be staying put for the rest of their season and no club has signed him at this point.
Looks like we still need to sign at least two full backs this window.

Well, Tottenham at the City ground is going to be one hell of an atmosphere.
This was one of those days when I was sitting there waiting for the Forest banter section to go into meltdown. I love this site. Big thanks to the Eds for putting in the work to keep us going. Kudos.
Listen lads (and ladesses if any of you are), let's move on and let the greedy little shyster do one! Forest have done wonders to move that kid's career forward. If the ungrateful turdnip wants out, then I, for one, can't wait to see the reception he gets when he returns with his new club.
Whoever we sign, we want someone hungry to prove themselves and play for us. Whether or not they have the talent of MGW, we want players who are proud to play for us, and MGW isn't that player.
COYR!
11 Jul 2025 16:58:53
Well, we are in the Europa League I think. Palace have been demoted to the conference league.
1.) 11 Jul 2025 17:05:21
Yeah your right mate, just posted the same?.
2.) 11 Jul 2025 18:37:45
Palace going to appeal, it wants sorting pretty quick could be the difference between a class player and a mediocre one.
09 Jul 2025 16:15:55
Possible good news. Lyon are back in their top division after their appeal.
This could mean the sales of Danilo and Turner are still on, bringing in more cash. It also means Palace might be relegated to the conference league, with Forest promoted to the Europa League and potentially more cash there too.
1.) 09 Jul 2025 16:38:30
They may be staying in Ligue 1 but they’re still broke mate, doubt they’ll be in a position to spend 30 mill, on the plus side we might be able to nick fofana off them.
2.) 09 Jul 2025 16:44:28
Lets hope UEFA do the right thing. Not holding my breath.
3.) 09 Jul 2025 16:55:26
Stevie, as soon as I heard the news I thought the same but I think it could be a couple of our players to Lyon, we get Fofana and pay the difference in valuation.
We get the player we want, they get 2 plus cash they desperately need.
4.) 09 Jul 2025 18:52:42
No idea if there is any truth in this.
On the Nottingham Forest Rumours/ News site re Sports Mole MGW has accepted personal term's with Man City? ?????.
5.) 09 Jul 2025 18:59:43
Fofona won't be coming here. staying in France.
6.) 09 Jul 2025 19:43:50
Nothing on Sky Transfer News mate.
Take this kindly. I really hope it's not true.
7.) 09 Jul 2025 20:25:40
Me neither.
Nottingham Forest 24/ 7.
Click on that and you can view it. Sports Mole.

Man City agree personal terms with Gibbs-White
However, according to Football Insider, Man City are still showing an interest in signing the attacking midfielder this summer.
The report claims that the Citizens have already reached an agreement with the player over personal terms.
Gibbs-White has seemingly given the green light to the move, but Forest are reluctant to part ways with one of their key players, especially as they are about to lose Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United.
However, there is a suggestion that Forest could be forced to listen to offers for Gibbs-White due to concerns about complying with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR).
Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White on March 3, 2025
Do Man City need to sign Gibbs-White this summer?
The 25-year-old has established himself as a key player on the Forest side since he joined the club from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2022.
Gibbs-White played a key role in Forest's seventh-place finish last term, scoring seven goals and providing 10 assists in 34 Premier League matches.
While he is undoubtedly a talented player, it makes little sense for Man City to pursue the transfer unless there are departures.
Guardiola can already call upon a number of players who can play in an advanced midfield role, including Cherki, Phil Foden, Claudio Echeverri, Nico O'Reilly, Ilkay Gundogan and James McAtee.
There is a belief that McAtee will depart this summer, while there is speculation surrounding Gundogan's future at the club.
If those two were to depart, it could open the space for the Citizens to make an effort to sign Gibbs-White.

MGW won't be going anywhere, think someones on the wind up?.
10.) 09 Jul 2025 20:32:20
If anything McAtee coming to us, think Mr Mole has got it wrong.
11.) 09 Jul 2025 20:35:25
That footy365 site is full of ?, just read the article.
Don't believe everything you read.

13.) 09 Jul 2025 22:44:28
Red Robin I hope not mate from what I’ve seen of mcAtee, he looks bang average,
14.) 10 Jul 2025 01:09:25
Yeah i agree, McAtee ain't nothing special.
08 Jul 2025 21:53:06
Bokayoko, Grealish, Fofana, Lookman, Yilmaz, or Pepe? TBR football have mentioned Brighton’s Simon Adringa and Ipswich’s Omari Hutchinson.
Basically, we are being linked with every available winger in Europe. ?
Pepe is likely if we can't get Bokayoko. Brazilian and looking for a move.
07 Jul 2025 22:34:30
On a brighter not, the Brazilian/ Portuguese connection only gets stronger.
We now have a GLobal Head of Football who is also Brazilian:-
Edu said: "I’m truly excited about this new chapter and honoured by the trust placed in me.
"This project connects deeply with my values around innovation and long-term planning. I look forward to building a global football model that is competitive, sustainable, and aligned with our President’s ambition. ”
President Evangelos Marinakis added: “We are extremely happy to welcome Edu to our football family. His global experience, values, and winning mindset align perfectly with our objective to strengthen and expand our international football platform. ”.
10 Jul 2025 18:07:41
Nothing you can do if he has a release clause of £60M. If they bid that amount then we can't stop the player from talking to the club.
10 Jul 2025 07:55:39
Sky reckon we are trying to sign McAtee now as well. We do need players who are from an English Academy to meet the regulations:-
At least eight players must be "homegrown, " meaning they were trained by the club or another club in the same national association for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21. A separate List B exists for younger players (born on or after January 1st of a specific year) who have been at the club for at least two consecutive years.
McAtee qualifies as a home-grown.
08 Jul 2025 21:56:05
Yes, I'm thinking who would Eduy go for too, Mossy.
Bokayoko, Yilmaz, Fofana, Pepe, Grealish. Brighton’s Simon Adringa and Ipswich’s Omari Hutchinson according to TBR football. I've missed a few.

11 Jul 2025 12:46:08
Oh, and the owner can't just spend lots of their own money on players due to PSR, they can only invest in infrastructure and the youth system or the club will fall foul of PSR rules.
There really isn't anything amiss. The owner and club remain ambitious but have to operate in the real world, not the one we wish existed.
When we lost Johnson, we replaced him with good players. We will do the same now, I expect. We needed to be able to playe other ways, so being stuck with the same players was always going to make that tough. Now we have the funds to buy a few more players and hopefully give Nuno the flexibility we were lacking at the end of last season. Either that or he's not that good and a one trick pony.
11 Jul 2025 12:41:56
Gazzi, Cooper was insisting on signing MGW. To make it happen, they were probably asked to include a £60M release clause if we weren't in champs league or something. There isn't something amiss about it, there is nothing the club can do if the player wants to leave.
The club knew the release clause was there, so will have a list of targets and are probably already speaking to clubs and agents about replacements.
It's normal for any club outside the "big 6" or who aren't in the Champ's League to lose players, especially when they do well. It's just reality.
I'll be honest, I thought MGW realised another season as the main man would be good for his England prospects and long term career and he wanted to stay for another season. But money talks.
11 Jul 2025 11:13:28
It's right Stokey.
Redsocks, delaying the expansion won't change what Marinakis can invest in the squad, assuming he has pockets deep enough to fund the ground expansion.
11 Jul 2025 10:51:42
Infrastructure (ground improvements and stuff) are not included in PSR calculations. The money can be borrowed (or financed by the owner) and don't affect PSR, so profit on players can be invested in fees and wages.
10 Jul 2025 19:27:54
I can't stand Madison. Now that is a Prima donna.
