6 hours ago6 hr Just the idea of the front three with Gibbs White behind them. Lol.Hopefully we still get Camara over the line. Kone would be so disappointing.
6 hours ago6 hr If Alonsos main system was a 4231 MGW would be a good addition to play alongside Palmer and Rogers. With us being a back 3 team now though MGW would end up as a sub most likely. He cannot play in the pivot alongside Caicedo, neither could Palmer or Rogers. He would give us our best sub option for Palmer or Rogers I feel, but I don't see why he moves for that. We ideally need 2 midfielder rather than adding to the attack. If it is Kone then so be it, but we need to get Camara over the line as well. The fact Caicedo being injured has meant relying on Lavias legs not giving out and pairing him with Reece and Gusto is a huge red flag. We need 2 actual center midfielder Imo
6 hours ago6 hr Kone to Chelsea Gittens to RomaGibbs-White (or another top flexible AM) to ChelseaI'd me more than happy with this, although it's pretty unlikely Forest would consider selling MGW this late in the window.
6 hours ago6 hr Kone is more physical than Camara and would bring more steel to the midfield.Camara seems more technical though so I'm not sure what the hell we're doing...
5 hours ago5 hr We need options in midfield. End of. It was apparent at the end of last season, and it's more apparent now. Saw a stat that Gusto and Lavia only completed 20 passes against Brighton.

5 hours ago5 hr Our midfield as it stands is w**k. Caicedo out for who knows how long, Enzo likely f**king off to City, old man Henderson who is injured, Lavia who is probably moments away from another injury, Barco who is untested at this level, James who isn't a midfielder and is another injury waiting to happen.The way I see it is that we currently don't have a midfield. We have been sitting on this problem all summer when it should have been a priority. Edited 5 hours ago5 hr by Scott Harris

Fulham and Brighton were a disaster off the ball in these first two games, our front 3 being in great form saved us big time. It's only a matter of time before we get comprehensively beaten and go on a run of poor results if we don't sort this out.
5 hours ago5 hr 3 minutes ago, axman2526 said:Is the one glaring miss from an otherwise very good transfer windowIt’s such a glaring issue that it genuinely drags our entire window from a 9/10 down to a 6/10.Lavia is walking straight back into the same cycle — looking like a future superstar for a few flashes, then breaking down and disappearing until the new year. I am not having Reece James or Malo Gusto as constants in midfield. f**k THAT.
4 hours ago4 hr I agree with you both. We hobble Alonso and the team if we Mess this up. Means we either have a very good or a very bad day tomorrow.

4 hours ago4 hr Looks like Liverpool have out an end to Gakpo moving to City. Fabrizio on his video just now said City are now fully focused on Enzo.....

Seems like this transfer is happening only in the heads of the rumour machine. Seems like City want to bid for anyone other than Enzo

1 hour ago1 hr I envy those of you not addicted to checking transfer news on twitter!Crazy 24 hours ahead. Finalizing Tosin and Mudryk to spurs, Sanchez to Como, and Enzo for a british record to City.Every midfielder we have been linked with Wharton, Scott, Kone, Camara, have all had some report in the last week saying they are definately not for sale, or in Camara's case the deal has gone cold.Cant imagine we would not sign at least 1 midfielder, but who im really not sure.

I also hate how much crap gets put out there. So many people desperate for clicks.

So many people desperate for clicks.The worst are the fake ITKs. Sad that people feel they need to lie to be important.I always start the summer just ignoring most of it, and now im hooked as usual😂I feel Wharton could be a bit of a surprise deal tomorrow. Seems like we have scratched their back with Anahor, and Camara is a Palace target so.maybe why we have stepped back.Be glad when it shuts, but hope we dont leave Xabi short in any department.
