Not heard much of brennan and didn't watch the game. Any good?

Trying not to get carried away, but feels to me like a bit more than inching forward.
Obviously a lot of work left to be done, but we have a fairly strong starting 11 and quite a few good rotation, backup and bench options too.
Even with Dier, Tanganga and Skipp out against Brighton we could look for real options on the bench in Bentancur, Kulusevski, Bergwijn and Sessegnon. Doherty too looking like a decent option rather than just a squad number.

He is good
Very quick but has good use of the ball with it
His dad is David Johnson who use to play for them in the 90s IIRC
Spence was very good too and took his goal really well
The bench options was actually always how I felt this window might improve us - Conte previously only had about 14 players which he trusted, if that. Now with two additions, and Bergwijn looking more threatening, it feels like we have a lot more opiotns

Makes a huge difference
Two players for all positions where possible

Spence was outstanding, any idea why Boro sent him out on loan?

Think there's a rather decent chance that at least one or perhaps even both of the new signings end up Ndombele themselves more than bench options within the next month or so.
Upped the number of players Conte trusts, both from signings and from existing players stepping up. Can only be a good thing.

Hopefully he's got his head right at forrest. If we do go for him in the summer, he'd be under no illusions. Conte has basically just binned off over £100m in talent. He'd think nothing of doing the same to spence.
Up to conte whether he wants to take the risk. Although he won't be expensive.

Yep attitude.... He was basically told at Boro that it was 50-50 whether he would end up a PL player or a non-league player.
From his performances for Forest it looks as though the penny may have dropped, though I would want to hear about him in training and watch him in some bread and butter Championship games as opposed to judging only on the glamour games against PL opposition (as he was very good against Arsenal as well)

Absolutely this!

I'd imagine after the crap with Ndombele etc Conte and Paratici are going to be pretty risk averse of there's the slightest hint of poor attitude.
Didn't we have a bid rejected in jan?
Last year of his contract so price will be low.

Neil Sullivan
Yes I managed to miss that. 2 bids rejected because we didn't meet Boro's 15 mill asking price.
I guess that answers my risk averse idea, not even worth a 15 mill risk?
He can't play for us this season. We put out a feeler bid to test the water to see how much they want. Go back in summer.
Could it backfire? Yes.
If we went in with £15m boro would have asked for £20m. That's how it goes.

How do you "Ndombele" yourself? I might just be tired, but have read this five times now, and I just can't figure out what you're trying to say.

Autocorrect and makes zero sense as written.
Making themselves... The word is making...

Cheers. What you say makes a lot of sense.
Hopefully we'll make a well informed decision either way.

Interesting posts, thanks.
Indeed Conte said yesterday that the most important thing is the player's attitude first, then skill etc, so he won't want a player that is a bad influence off the pitch. Even if it is just being a bit silly or only giving 90% in training, he won't want anyone like that around the place.
