The whole baggage of being willing to come but then not because of the 'release clause' issue and then signing an extension under duress.
I'm pretty sure he is on more than what we were offering last time and i'm not sure at this point he'd be worth the hassle..and it WILL be hassle to sign him now, especially as Forest would see it that we are no better placed than they are now (unlike last summer when we could at least say we had CL etc).

The effort to sign him (and even us going for him last summer - was that only because of the relatively cheap release clause anyway?), i'd rather use it to get a top midfielder like Wharton or a striker better than who we currently have now

He signed a one year extension. So he's got the same length of contract left (two years) as he did when we tried last year.
But it seems likely that Forest's big sale will be Anderson so they aren't under huge pressure to sell, though I suppose this is the time for them to cash in on him.

Convenient but not worth doing because of all the baggage? Huh?

I think he was in the conversation for best attacking midfielder in the league last season, especially once Forest settled their early season managerial merry-go-round.

I mean we made an attempt to buy him alst summer because it was convenient (we thought we had an easy to match release clause to overcome and then that was it bang, he'd be ours).

Baggage now because of how Marinakis blocked it last year and i would imagine would be even more determined to make sure it didn't happen - unless we bid something like £150M plus...

One has an ACL tear and won’t be back until March.
One is not really a #10.
One may never play again.

Maddison is fine in the 10, Gallagher is fine to cover until Xavi is back and we don’t know about Kulu, people just guessing. Unless the 10 is our new RB fad we don’t need 5 people and leave the squad unbalanced, unless your suggesting we don’t need strikers or Wide players

I think this is part of the issue, fans didn’t actually understand what Gallagher was when we bought him.

He’s a high pressing number 10, exactly how RDZ played him since he’s arrived. Anything else and he’s bang average as we’ve seen in the small sample size we’ve seen in our shirt.
 
For me, it needs to be this summer or never with MGW. He's 26 now and shouldn't be flogging that dead horse at Forest any longer. We need to convince him that our project under RDZ is going places. Well, RDZ probably needs to sell him on that vision.

MGW (and/or Anderson) would be a game changer for Spurs. So would Wharton or Joao Gomes.

We just need to make sure we buy specialists for RDZ. If MGW came, you simply put him in his best position and build the rest around. 18 goals and 7 assists across PL/EL (mostly in PL) is outstanding.

More like it needs to be in the first few weeks or we are out.

I think we should go big for MGW. He’s not at the World Cup (he should be). And he’s achieved a lot in the Premier League which significantly improves his chance of being a success with us. I think he’s worth £20m more than a similar player from overseas for that reason. I’d be happy if we broke our transfer record for him. We would need to use him as Forest do though. No point signing players who succeed in a role and then expecting them to adapt to both a new style of football and different role in the team etc.

Definitely this, showed what he can do in the last 10-15 games. Would take us up a level and add goals from midfield.
