    I will say having continued chatting with Forest fans, one of the points they seemed fair from their point of view is that it looked like a lot of the journos with contacts at Spurs are really going hard on the release clause point. If I look at Ornstein and a couple of the other ones that would...

    Ok…so Spurs hear about it and because they’ve heard about it, they can never now bid for MGW? How can it be proven? How can it actually be enforced? Through no fault of their own they’re potentially not now able to sign a player they like, and the player has to chalk one of the rare clubs that...

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    Chatting with some Forest fans and they are pretty convinced it’s some combination of MGW and his woman wanting London, combined with the connections that he has to Spurs already (agents and Brennan) have meant that something got to us that shouldn’t have. And in that case, Forest feel that they...

    Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. If City ‘enquired’ rather than bid, they can get away with quoting whatever number they want. We made a low ball bid that had to be accepted. It seems like the Forest argument is that his agents got tinkled that he didn’t get the move to City, so decided to...

    This is what is so funny about the whole thing. 60m is absolutely the sort of starting bid that Levy would make for a player like this. It’s also like…I know we have a good relationship with CAA. But City must do too right? Why would MGW’s agents keep the clause a secret from City (where the...

    Massively agreed in your last point. Toys out of the pram with a chicken coming home to roost, when it was that chicken that was probably key to him agreeing to sign in the first place.

    Rob Dorsett was also revealing how Forest tried for a year to get MGW to sign a new contract removing the release clause but he refused. It’s all clearly designed to paint MGW and his agents in a bad light for wanting out, and for clearly trying to leverage this clause which is supposedly...

    I really do hope that if we’re keen on this type of player, we have a back up plan in the case that this drags. That’s my always worrying Spurs fan take. My confident Spurs fan take is…why are Forest doing this through the press while Spurs are saying nothing at all? This must be the 3rd or...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Thought it was satire. So I think you’re absolutely right. I know I wasn’t on here for a few years but that doesn’t seem like the same Jordinho I remember.

    Levy's Plan

    When I say ‘different’, I’m not literally pointing to which things are different this year versus last. I’m talking about our position in the market hierarchy previously, and what it might take to genuinely compete for the league title. I think our position in the market would need to change...

    Levy's Plan

    Yeah, I mean obviously I agree. The fact that West Ham were a motivated seller on Kudus has never stopped us trying to drive the price down as much as possible even if it means we’re into the dying days of the window. The fact that it got done quickly suggests to me that something is probably...

    I also hope that if we really wanted MGW, and we really wanted a player like him, we know who we’re moving to if we can’t do this deal, and we do it fairly quickly. I don’t want this to drag, to not get him if we decided we really needed someone like him, and then not start off well as a...

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    I must admit it’s a bit annoying he’s turned up to their training, because it just shows this isn’t close to being resolved. I like his professionalism, but it’s not often you see players back in the original club’s training after a deal was said to be done. If they have now made their...

    It definitely seems like the football administrators at Forest know this deal is going to happen, that we’ve met the terms in the contract, and that’s why the medical was going ahead. The owner reacted once he realised how it looks, but if Forest’s administrators cleared this deal in the first...

    Levy's Plan

    Fair enough. I don’t disagree that on their own, Kudus and MGW match the profile of player we have signed post Paratici joining initially. Richarlison, Romero, Solanke etc. Proven either in the PL or starters for top international sides. Through that timeframe, I agree, it’s yet to be seen...

    I’m really hopeful that Spurs didn’t do anything silly here. The extreme likelihood is that they haven’t. The idea of the clause being secret and us just steaming in with the exact bid doesn’t seem smart, and I don’t think Spurs would do that. I just read a comment on Reddit that is absolutely...

    Levy's Plan

    I don’t know for sure, and I’m willing to wait until the end of the summer to see. It may be investment. It may be mega sponsorship. It may be VV’s influence. It may be that we’ve gotten the club to a point in any other respect where by we can act differently this summer, in line with the plan...

    Levy's Plan

    I keep saying: IF we get to the end of the summer and we have signed MORE *proven* first 11 players in addition to MGW, then I’d say it’s been different. IF we get to end of summer and we’ve signed a couple of decent players from France and Germany to beef out the squad, then I’d agree it’s...

    Levy's Plan

    I just find the idea that ‘now we have a settled transfer department’ to be the reason that we can suddenly move in the market in a way that suggests we want to win the league to be completely flimsy. That’s a reason that our signings will match a consistent profile in line with our tactical...

    Levy's Plan

    Genuine question, if it comes out that there has been some additional investment or a mega sponsorship deal, would you agree that it might be a reason that we are doing things a bit differently this summer? Or would it all still have been part of the plan? I just find your shrugging at why we...
