Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

[boatshed bill]

Yes VK will surely be disappointed by tonight but he’s been in a better position than anyone to sort this, so he’ll have to adapt accordingly.

Disappointed?
Why, he's brought in 10 (or more) players.

[randomclaret2]

Have Forest sold anyone or have they added another load to the load they signed last season?

Johnson to Spurs

[expoultryboy]

Still think we need a strong cm along side Cullen .

[holycustard]

I wonder if anyones almost drowned wetting the bed especially in a hot country where they make you drink loads.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Tresor would be great but I’m really happy with our alternatives there.

Left back is another matter, that’s the big hole we’d be worried about in every fixture we play. For that reason I’d start Taylor there if we can’t structure a deal to persuade Maatsen to come, at least we know what we will get from him and he is solid.

[ksrclaret]

Disappointed?

Yes disappointed because he hasn’t been able to sign the key player for a position we don’t have anyone he wants to play.

Hardly a stretch, is it?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Bold statement and would be sad if he goes home and holds his head in his hands because we haven’t signed a Left Back. It just won’t happen , best we keep our emotions in check

Haha I haven’t said that at all though have I?

I said I think he will feel deflated with not getting one

[Commy]

Omobamidele going to Forest from Norwich.

[Burnley1989]

Someone said it's "humiliating" that Lakonga went to Luton over us, so maybe there's a teensy bit of bedwetting going on, IDK.

I think it’s a case of single young men with nothing else to do but panic on here.
I sat next to one at Forest

[BobSykes]

Luton 2-0 down so at least something has gone right for us today...

Edit: perhaps i spoke too soon...

[randomclaret2]

Luton 2-0 down so at least something has gone right for us today...

1-2 now

[CrosspoolClarets]

Optimistically, timing announcement vids for the Friday teatime American market

[ClaretInLeeds]

It seems our resident bed wetter knows how VK feels.

[Commy]

All to be announced tomorrow before the match with a reveal video on the big screens

[buzzclarets79]

May I suggest anyone disappointed with the window, I’ll give you two words.

Dale Stephens.

There it all puts it into perspective now.

[holycustard]

Has anyone got the RNLI number just in case.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Maatsen staying at Chelsea confirmed

[Newcastleclaret93]

It seems our resident bed wetter knows how VK feels.

Irony is dead to some haha

[ksrclaret]

This board really is a primary school yard where sensible, reasoned discussion goes to die and be replaced by name-calling.

Transfer windows really do bring out the worst on both sides.

[gandhisflipflop]

Maatsen staying at Chelsea confirmed

FFS

[Spijed]

Maatsen staying at Chelsea confirmed

Sounds like it was never likely to happen anyway.

[BurnleyFC]

Really feels like we’ve missed a trick this transfer window, despite the plethora of incomings.

[Gazclaret83]

Really feels like we’ve missed a trick this transfer window, despite the plethora of incomings.

After spending a 100m plus. Seriously

[Murger]

******** to him then. Time wasting turdbag.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Maatsen maybe concerned about the non stop abuse Berge has had to endure and how only one brave warrior was prepared to stand up for him.

[ClaretInLeeds]

Wait till people find out Tresor’s move is off due to wage demands.

[Bigvince]

I’m ok with window, we’ll be reet!

[agreenwood]

Maatsen staying at Chelsea confirmed

It’s been clear he isn’t coming here for hours, but it hasn’t been confirmed at all. Peter “clickbait” O’Rourke has just posted more clickbait, that’s all.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Surprised given our case of need we don’t simply get Maatsen on another loan if he has signed a new deal, he gets his long Chelsea contract and Chelsea get a year’s development.

[boatshed bill]

Yes disappointed because he hasn’t been able to sign the key player for a position we don’t have anyone he wants to play.

Hardly a stretch, is it?

Well, if that's the only thing in life that's disappointing for him he's a very lucky football manager

[boatshed bill]

Maatsen doesn't want to leave Chelsea, why should he?

[RVclaret]

Wait till people find out Tresor’s move is off due to wage demands.

I posted this rumour a few pages ago, take it you’ve had it passed on too

[Vegas Claret]

@SportsPeteO
Chelsea youngster Ian Maatsen is set to stay at Stamford Bridge and sign a new contract after turning down a potential move to Burnley.

[Blyclaret]

Has Tresor failed his medical ???

[123EasyasBFC]

Even with the number of signings fans can still voice they are disappointed with not signing someone in a position that’s clear to see, I like Taylor and would play Taylor but it’s clear kompany doesn’t rate him there so a LB was needed.

We do still have free agent market

[northeastclaret]

Maatsen staying at Chelsea confirmed

Absolutely unbelievable that we would put all our eggs into one basket. Whatever the other successes in this transfer window , to lose a player from last season in this position and not replace them , as I say is absolutely unbelievable.

[Kevwando]

Has Tresor failed his medical ???

No, passed his medical at lunch

[forzagranata]

Replacing the starting players we've lost in this window was the bare minimum.

We've replaced THB and replaced Tella but not replacing Maatsen will cost us. A major cock-up if no-one is brought in for left-back.

Couldn't care less about another winger or not.

Good on him

[ClaretInLeeds]

I was told at about 4pm but the optimist in me wanted to think we would get it over the line.

[BurnleyFC]

After spending a 100m plus. Seriously

Seriously.

The squad is unbalanced.

[Rileybobs]

After spending a 100m plus. Seriously

I don’t think money spent determines how good our business has been this summer. I remember most on here were mocking Forest for the number of players and big money they spent last summer. Time will tell how well we’ve recruited but it’s clear that we’ve missed a trick at left back and in my opinion at right back too - although seemingly that never seemed a priority for VK.

[Blyclaret]

Why did we not ask Maatsen … do u want to sign for Burnley. A month ago.

[KlyBfc]

Maybe Maatsen signs a new contract but joins us on loan for the season.

I have know idea and I’m not stressing. We all know we are defensively short / weak and short of striker options considering Jays injury record over recent years, but what will be will be.

[boatshed bill]

The next hour is going to be pure agony.

[Gazclaret83]

Seriously.

The squad is unbalanced.

Not my fault. But think we'll be okay

[Vegas Claret]

i find it implausible that clubs would agree a fee, a player then fly over, said player then has his medical and we forgot to tell him how much he would be paid. Pretty sure that would be the first conversation or at very worst the one after the fee was agreed.

[ksrclaret]

The next hour is going to be pure agony.

You don’t have to read this board, you know.

I like to avoid things I know are going to be pure agony.

[Steddyman]

It’s been clear he isn’t coming here for hours, but it hasn’t been confirmed at all. Peter “clickbait” O’Rourke has just posted more clickbait, that’s all.

That would be the same Peter "clickbait' O'Rourke that was one of the first to post he was coming?
