They're an outside fancy for a few people. I wouldn't rib him just yet.
Fair enough. Let’s see if Derby win though, that’ll give me some fuel.
Lewis Grabban is a very good striker at championship level. Haven't seen much of Dawson in the Championship but he'll had a bit of experience to their backline and is probably decent enough at that level. Colback is trash but might do something with the drop in level? Not really sure. Pantillimon is a bit meh but again .. decent enough at that level, and then Jack Robinson had a really good season at QPR. At least when I watched them he seemed to play well and the one QPR fan I know was very annoyed he left on a free after nailing down a place there.
Think Forest's best signing was Karanka. Guy plays dull football but he turned Boro around from a mid table team going nowhere to top 6 contenders in a year.
This is awesome, thanks a lot! Lots of business with Jorge Mendes then?
They also brought in Robinson + got Pantillimon on a permanent deal. I think how well they do will depend on the Benfica arrivals, if they're at a similar level to the likes of Jota and Neves then they could surprise people.
Funny thing is friend is very anti-Mourinho, but is waxing lyrical for one of his biggest disciples in football, which I’ve also taken great pleasure in.
Wouldn't say they're favourites but they could and should be right up there. My Dad's a Forest fan and reckon's they'll get play offs as opposed to automatic. They've done good in the market and their owner is seemingly willing to spend to get them up so with Karanka still there they should be very solid.
Tbf, I would love to see Forest back in the top flight. One of those old historic clubs with so much romance surrounding them.
Well we have hope again with the new owners but we still have got FFP hovering over us. Think it will be a case of just trying to keep in touch with the top 6 up to xmas while owners sort out the mess behind the scenes (Xia decided to sack our CEO and director of football over the summer while he was trying to pay tax bills in instalments).Tom Lawrence
Was disappointed that Villa didn't get promoted last year. Mainly because I love Villa Park, Steve Bruce, wanted to see Grealish in the PL (which seems to be happening anyway) and @FootballHQ
Agreed. Played for a club I despise but as a person he's always come off quite well, by all accounts meant to be an intelligent guy too. Would be nice to see a young, English manager come in to the Prem.
