01 Sep 2025 21:20:42
Zinchenko has signed on loan from Arsenal for the season!

01 Sep 2025 21:54:47
He’ll do for me. Decent crosser of the ball and can dribble a bit too.

01 Sep 2025 21:58:51
A left-footed left back? WHAAAAAAT! ?

Bloody hell, we'll have Nuno using some of the new signing before the 89th minute next! ?.

Ridiculous RUMOUR

"Nottingham Forest consider late Adama Traore approach

According to Portuguese journalist Sebastiao Sousa-Pinto, Forest are possibly weighing up whether or not to try to sign Traore once again. "

Maybe they love Nuno after all?

There is basically no way they can fit him into the squad. Maybe they are sending Luiz on loan to Olympiacos to keep Nuno happy? ??.

RUMOUR on yet another LB

Ornstein: Forest 'Reach Agreement' With Atletico, Galan's Medical is Booked

Spanish LB, age 30. Really experienced. Athletico Madrid.

How many places are there in a 25 man squad? ?.

01 Sep 2025 17:14:34
25? Maybe?

01 Sep 2025 17:24:53
??

Either I can't count or someone won't be in the squad. I though Bakwa was full squad.

01 Sep 2025 17:39:49
Me thinks someone might be on the way out full time, or a loan move to a Greek club? Or is Sangare going to West Ham, now that he's helped give them 3 points!

01 Sep 2025 18:34:33
Maybe Domingues is not in the squad (I heard he was injured until November (ish) anyway) and look again in January.

We still need to lose one more I think, unless they are counting on Savona to cover CB and are letting Morato or Cunha go.

01 Sep 2025 18:41:53
CONFIRMED by the man in the know FABRIZIO ROMANO

?? Javi Galán to Nottingham Forest, here we go! Permanent deal from Atlético Madrid has been sealed right now.
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) September 1, 2025.

01 Sep 2025 18:56:08
Romano now says its off. We always manage to have problems with LBs and it leaves us unbalanced.

01 Sep 2025 19:16:02
@FabrizioRomano
?⚠️ Javi Galán and Nottingham Forest, deal collapsing as not ready in time for the documents.

Looks like you're right. We didn't have enough room in the squad anyway. See banter.

01 Sep 2025 14:46:54
Bakwa medical under way right now, and another defender from Botofogo at the training ground!

01 Sep 2025 11:54:40
??MASSIVE RUMOUR ??

on Forest Fan TV as we dive into the exciting update that Strasbourg’s star winger Dilane Bakwa is on the verge of joining Nottingham Forest, with a medical reportedly booked!

Then there's the other rumour.

??⌛??.

01 Sep 2025 14:20:04
And Cuiabano.

01 Sep 2025 15:27:10
I reported Cuiabano 2 days ago (on 30th) Silkman. Keep up.

It's ridiculous how many we seem to have signed. The club has moved forward so quickly. ?.

01 Sep 2025 19:38:51
I was out of the country 2 days ago, Cyclist. Spying. ✈. ?. I didn't see it, mu duck.

01 Sep 2025 22:48:36
Hope you had a good one.

02 Sep 2025 07:01:35
It was nothing special. Went Friday morning came back Sunday afternoon. Just a business trip. ?.

RUMOUR

Football insider:
"Nottingham Forest are planning to appoint a big-name manager if they decide to sack Nuno Espirito Santo in the near future.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed what sources have said about Evangelos Marinakis’ managerial plans amid rising tension at the City Ground.

The likes of Jose Mourinho, Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers are thought to be on Forest’s radar and would be of interest should the role become available. "


On signing a winger before the deadline:
We are still trying to sign either Dodie Lukebakio or Dilane Bakwa. ?.

31 Aug 2025 23:35:13
If we were willing to throw £60 mill at the PSG lad, I'd be on the phone to palace and offer them the same for Mateta and Sarr. ?.

01 Sep 2025 09:45:10
Sarr looks a good call. They should put us in charge of recruitment. ?

Looks like it's going to be a scramble. One player not coming if the reliable Romano is correct.

FABRIZIO ROMANO
?? Dodi Lukebakio to Benfica, here we go! Agreement done between clubs with Sevilla and medical on Monday.

Lukebakio signs deal until June 2030 ❤️? pic. twitter. com/ VOmM9LSfZ6
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 31, 2025

I still want to see Bakwa. Were the other offers to put pressure on Bakwa's club to accept before it's too late? Dark arts?

31 Aug 2025 11:50:06
RUMOUR

RUMOUR FOR CLUB RECORD BID

L'equipe (Google translation) : Nottingham Forest made a PSG offer for Lee Kang-In

"Unhappy with his PSG playing time, Lee Kang-In would not refuse a start this summer. However, the Parisian leadership has remained firm in recent weeks and refuses to let the South Korean, let go, under contract until 2028. In recent days, Nottingham Forest has made an estimated offer of EUR 30 million, with bonuses of up to an additional EUR 30 million. "

That's a total of €60M (£52M) ?.

30 Aug 2025 19:58:15
And along come the tourist fans?
I'd rather leave that deal alone.

30 Aug 2025 21:10:01
I think these players bring in a load of shirt money. Not sure whether he's any good. He's been playing on the wing for PSG and we are trying to sign one more winger. It just seems really random suddenly getting this link at the end of the window.

30 Aug 2025 21:57:34
Not sure he's any good? ????.

30 Aug 2025 21:58:31
Club record transfer?
He'd better be good, stuff tee shirt sales.

30 Aug 2025 22:33:58
He could be bang average for all I know. I only remember seeing him play once. ?.

30 Aug 2025 23:32:16
185 odd appearances 22 goals, 24 years old, played for Valencia, Mallorca and PSG in Europe. I reckon his wages would be huge and the price tag is massive for a player who has struggled to push his way into the PSG first team.

Think its a pass for me, but the lad must have something about him to even get the PSG squad. ???.

30 Aug 2025 10:42:55
RUMOUR another full back incoming

SPortWitness: "Nottingham Forest have managed to win the race for Cuiabano, landing their fourth Botafogo player of this transfer window. "

We were originally rumoured to be getting Cuiabano when we signed Jair Cuhna and Jesus.

Left wing back. Brighton were supposed to be in the driving seat.

So now West Ham, Tottenham, Palace and Brighton hate us! ??

If we can sign Dilane Bakwa then the squad is complete.

30 Aug 2025 19:02:01
I've heard Bakwa won't be joining, I was hoping for this to happen, but still a great window.

30 Aug 2025 19:59:12
Me to redclough.

?? Nottingham Forest agree deal to sign Brazilian GK Jhon Victor from Botafogo, here we go!

#NFFC booking his medical for this weekend.

Not played many games for a 29 year old
Tbh a waste of money to me.

RUMOURS on Forest manager situation:

"Industry insider Mick Brown told Football Insider on 26 August that Forest are considering sacking Nuno with tensions rising among the key powers behind the scenes. "

"Reports have claimed the relationship between the pair is “potentially irreparable” [The Athletic], adding to the building tension and pressure on Nuno. "

Jose Mourinho is available after being sacked by Fenerbahce.

Leftfield one - Xavi may be looking for a return to Coaching after taking a year out after leaving Barca. One of my favourite players ever!

Peter O Rourke (football insider) explained that the lack of contract talks or discussions about the boss’ future have left the door open for Brendan Rogers' potential departure.

“Brendan Rodgers has been calling out for the club to back him, ” he told Football Insider.

“He wants to take Celtic to the next level after their run last year in the Champions League.

“But if Brendan Rodgers becomes available, I’m sure there’ll be a number of clubs looking at him, not just Nottingham Forest.

“He’s on a short contract and is into the final year at Celtic brings its own jeopardy as well.

“There’s seemingly been no talks or anything close to being agreed at Celtic.

“Obviously, that opens the door for a potential move away. ”

Don't shoot the messenger!

Brendan rogers is crap
If we sack nuno, then I'd expect marinakis to go all out for Marco silva.

28 Aug 2025 21:53:27
Full back from RB Leipzig?

28 Aug 2025 22:00:16
Good dinner you had then?

28 Aug 2025 22:06:37
Savona looks a done deal for RB. It's possible we might sign Geertruida from Leipzig as well, who also looks good. See post below.
