TeaCider24 12,398 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Jones is miles ahead of Spence if tonight is anything to go off, but it's the only time I've watched him at Forest this season, so it might have just been a less influential game for him. Link to post Share on other sites

Some fans are deluded. Not saying that your comment isn’t true, as I agree that we have no chance of getting Cantwell… … but I do find it interesting that fans are deluded for thinking we could possibly get Cantwell, a 23 year old who is on the fringes of a team who are bottom of the league and have been embarrassingly poor at times, yet a lot of fans are up in arms about signing a 21 year old who is in a very similar position, in terms of his position within the squad, of a much better team who are currently 10th in the PL. I know there are question marks over his personal life, but in terms of his quality as a player, I don’t think we are likely to attract much better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Cantwell was a standout performer during their promotion season. People need to be more realistic. If we have spoken to Norwich it would be for someone like Idah. As for Connolly, I think it's a great signing. Fits our system and is more suited to Wilder and the way he wants his team to play. Hopefully we can add a left-footed defender, recall Spence, add a left-footed midfielder and bring in two strikers. Ideally shifting a GK out along with Hall, terminating Silki's loan and Ikpeazu. Then give some youngsters an opportunity to go out on loan for half a season too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Cantwell might be going through a bad spell at the moment but I think he's shown in the previous few seasons that he has the ability to be a Premier league player. If he was available I'd expect a mid table Premier league team to end up signing him. At the moment I think he's out of our league. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I’m not disagreeing… … just merely stating that it’s interesting the difference of opinion on the two players if you compare them solely based on their current positions at their respective clubs 2 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I do think we need someone more threatening on the left. Imagine if we had an equal threat to Jones on the other flank. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Foogle 2,078 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 If we lose Tav as a free transfer would we get compensation because he's from our academy? Or does that only apply to youth players? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

His contract does not expire until June 2024 so he still has 2.5yrs left to run on it so we wont be losing him on a free anytime soon 1 Link to post Share on other sites
