Sick of all this speculation in the press and social media about our best players going to so called BIGGER clubs?
Look at Grealish legend at Villa adored by the fans Villa through and through himself! Went for the money to City now can't get in their side and lost his England place
Loyalty is repaid in spades normally but unfortunately is in precious little supply now days.

The difference between Grealish and Gibbs-White is that Grealish looked good in an average Villa side but Gibbs-White looks very good in a very good Forest side. So other than money there is no reason to go. Gibbs-White will be key for England if he stays and plays regularly which he won't do at a 'bigger club' due to those teams being generally well stocked with very good players in his position.

Spurs, Arsenal, city, Liverpool and Man U are all bigger clubs mate. Newcastle probably are but it’s not as quantifiable. Villa are as well. How brillajnt to be able to confidently say (after Being bottom of the championship 3 seasons ago) that so few clubs are classed as bigger than Forest - what a monumental achievement.
The first 5 are the only ones who MGW would go to in my opinion. If that happens we just have to suck it up.

Totally agree with you 2 Stars. Great post mate.

Would be great to keep the core for one more season and to strengthen the squad in the offseason. I think Nuno is happy as are the squad, something money cannot buy!

Cheers Lego, some would strongly argue Chelsea as well but the fact I forgot them maybe says something, they have obviously been very successful but I think their ground holds them back a bit.
20 Mar 2025 19:40:00
Grealish also went to city to win trophies, which he's achieved
Forget loyalty, it's not possible in the modern game.

Chelsea have just spent 63 million on a 17 and twenty year old who show potential. At the moment Forest can't compete with that, or are not allowed with financial rules. I'm sure we will lose some crucial players in the future, but it can be done, using Bournemouth as a example I'm sure there supporters didn't think they would be near top of the league after selling Solanke!. As supporters we can only hope behind the scenes everyone is fighting to keep us competing at the top.

All you can ask is that players we sign give 100% commitment during their contract years, but also be treated right when things don't work out for player or club.
20 Mar 2025 20:42:47
Exactly dtp, I actually believe strongly this season on the togetherness of the players, nuno, backroom staff etc. Just a happiness and self belief not just in themselves but every player around them. It rubs off on the WFCG and the totally amazing away support we have brought. Never felt prouder of the work put in this season. FTID.

Chelsea will get looked at
But they've stockpiled young players for years now and sold quite a lot and classed as pure profit, plus sold prime real estate that they own.

Avoided injuries in the main Bowie
Which really helps
Other than danillo and sangare it's been mostly a fully fit squad and that's a massive plus.

Again spot on, which has been a huge weakness in our past. How we've kept wood fit after so many games is beyond belief. The lad really puts everything in. Tracking back etc. I was going to say we'd be in the lurch without him. But that would be unkind on the work the players are putting in. As for our defending from set pieces etc. Just brilliant. Again everyone 100% concentrating. Don't get me wrong the odd blip but no team on earth goes without them. Nuno just done wonders. And big M sorting out our errors. From greedy cling ons to players. Just cannot say how proud I really am.

We're a tight unit playing a flat back four, but goes wrong when Morata comes on, just doesn't work as a unit then.

A couple of days ago there was a poll on Nottingham live for our player of the season, it is a hard choice. Both CBs?, Keeps?, woody?, Ando?, MGW?, Cho? Elenga? Aina?
I went with Sels, was thinking along the lines of how many points he's saved us this season.
Thoughts gents?
21 Mar 2025 01:36:03
Winter, looked at Belgium's result against Ukraine and they had let in three goals!, checked team some nobody from Milan in goal, not the best shot stopper in the Premier, Matz Sels?.
21 Mar 2025 06:36:55
A handful of players could get that. but for me milenkovic fitted straight into the team took charge of the defence nothing much gets past him scores goals. and 12 million bargain of the season.
21 Mar 2025 07:31:00
I went for Milenkovic, Winter. He's just slotted into our defence seamlessly like he's played for us for years and in my opinion has been the biggest difference in our defending of set-pieces. It was a tough decision and I wish I could've voted for all of the ones you mentioned.
