ph. 54 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Spence to Forest is still a really odd one I can't wrap my head around. Interesting to see if that will go through. Especially as it looks like Forest has 1 right back (Jordi Osei-Tutu), signed one on deadline day (Mohamed Dräger) and throw Spence in the mix? Forest collecting RBs like we collect CMs Link to post Share on other sites

Forest collecting RBs like we collect CMs I read somewhere on Twitter in the midst of it all some Forest fans suggesting maybe Osei-Tutu's injury might be worse than first feared. I don't know if he actually is injured as I never checked but would perhaps suit the drastically late timing of it all. Worth remembering if anyone's only watched Spence in the last year and wanted him based on that, they might be after him as a winger too. I still think he could be a better right-back but hey ho, maybe I'm just a mad lad who likes a pacey attacking full-back. 😎 Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I thought as well. Seemed fairly clear to me 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

I'd include Crooks but in midfield. With everyone fit, and assuming players we've signed all live up to expectations then I'd probably favour something like this: Lumley Dijksteel Fry (Hall or McNair) Bola Siliki Payero Crooks Tav Hernandez Sporar Something like that anyway. Depends on Siliki being able to play in front of the back four (I don't know if he can), and as I said, everyone else living up to expectations. No more long ball *** though either. That team plays football. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Boro player profile pages has Sporar as number 11. No number for Lea Siliki yet. Wonder if he might take Morsy's 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Osei-Tutu's injury is not as bad as feared apparently Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Just a suggestion and probably far easier to refer to and depending on performances can we just call him "skills" Am sure many Boro fans would enjoy calling him that Of course I am referring to Siliki and not Jonny Howson!😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DevKWat 2,365 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Must admit I’m very surprised if this is true, mainly because I didn’t think Spence wanted to stay here. Clearly club think he’ll come back under the new manager and start fresh 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) That is an unusual one then. Hopefully he has an excellent season, but Forest have a worse one than we do. Can probably get more money for him next summer if he performs well, or it might help him cement a place in our side. Seems more likely that he'll be in and out of the side there though and we don't really benefit from that. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 @DevKWat that certainly seems to be thinking. At least we covered ourselves with the additional year Still no confirmation on Nathan Woods extension? Link to post Share on other sites
