I like Marinakis, he’s a lunatic but he’s certainly put his money where his mouth is and he refuses to just allow Forest to be trampled on from the “bigger” clubs, biased officials, authorities and even media. Basically anyone who goes against Forest is the enemy and won’t be backed down to. I like ...

This is irrelevant because hands and arms (below the 't-shirt line) of players aren't considered when determining offside. I thought this was common knowledge? Right, we’ve determined the defenders shirt is ahead of the line, so how is it offside when Lyles shirt, hand and arm is ahead of the line?

KRBFC

The defenders sleeve is literally beyond the line

but the image they did broadcast showed the offside line on Foster's shoulder, and every part of the defender's body which is used to determine offsides was behind that line.

That isn’t true though

KRBFC

I’d be amazed if it was anywhere near that with sell on clauses, agents fees etc. Overall the point still stands that a club like Burnley cannot afford to make too many £15m (or thereabouts) mistakes. It’s not just the transfer fees either - all these players have big signing on fees and will also ...

KRBFC

You can sign and sell a player in the same Window but it is unlikely this side of La La land. So, I think it self evident that players sold in a windows won't have been bought in it. Like I say, Burnley fans can think it's a good idea to sell over Eur50 million of playing assets for £3 but the seri...

KRBFC

Yes but that doesn't fairly represent my post, which was not really about individual players or what auditors do but how do we recoup some of the Eur128 million we have spent this summer.. Amdouni, Tresor and Ramsey cost us in excess of Eur50 million not too mention Obafemi, Benson etc etc. We can ...

KRBFC

8.5/10 Has been an excellent window, really brought in an excellent balance of young talent and experienced heads. We look strong and powerful, exactly what you need in this league. I had absolutely no faith in us staying up through the summer, but Pace and co and have gone and made me think we mig...

KRBFC

I think the idea of the thread is pretty clear, it's regarding how people currently feel about the players we have brought in - not to judge it in 2 months time. Well it’s kind of hard because I assume we’ve signed players to stay in the league. Ultimately does it really matter though when we’ve go...

KRBFC

For me the only thing holding it back from being a solid window is an out and out goalscorer - we were short last year and I've not seen enough of Broja to see if he will fill that hole or not. Very pleased overall though. So who is the CJ Egan Riley replacement? Please answer seriously, Tuanzebe h...

KRBFC

We’ve made some good signings but we’re a proper centre half short and if we get relegated because of it then I’m not sure the rest of the additions really matter.

KRBFC

For the first goal we let 2 men just stand completely unmarked on the edge of our box yet still Casemiro had a free header from 4 yards out.

KRBFC

I like Hannibal but he’s not a 10, he was playing right wing today. The best thing about Hannibal is his work rate but today he wasn’t tracking back at all, just standing out wide. He hasn’t got the cute pass or goalscoring instinct to play as a 10. We saw that in the Championship. For me he’s a run...

Ahh we have a scapegoat!

It’s not scapegoating to point out facts, go and watch that second goal back it’s a long punt from their keeper. Proper schoolboy stuff from Walker and Ekdal

KRBFC

At the minute it feels like we’re over compensating for Ekdals lack of legs and it’s leading to far too many square pegs in round holes. Walkers not a centre half, Brun Larsens not a wing back and Hannibal isn’t a right winger. Dubravka Walker NEW Esteve Hartman Luis Ugochukwu Cullen NEW Foster Anth...

KRBFC

Crying out for a proper right sided centre half and a real quality attacking option.

That 2nd goal today is just unforgivable from Ekdal.

It's a free kick out side of the box, he'd let go by the time he's inside. Same old story in this league.
'Clear and obvious' my arse.

Well he didn’t though, did he? The VAR still frame clearly shows Anthony continues to pull his shirt inside the area.

KRBFC

How can Foster not pass 5 yards ?

KRBFC

Whatever this use of Hannibal is, it’s not working at all. He’s offering us nothing at either end of the pitch and we’re wide open through the middle.

Started 4-4-2 then he’s changed it to the 5-4-1 after our early struggles

Space everywhere and we’ve no threat, every time they attack it’s like they’re on the counter attack

KRBFC

We’re absolutely all over the place here, what formation are we even playing and what is the plan? Why is Hannibal right wing?

KRBFC

The alternative is that Parker does/did want him but Tresor wants out. If Tresor has worked hard and been respectful about it, then it's easy to see why Parker would be complimentary and frame it as him needing game time. Rather than "we only want players who want to be here" Then come out and say ...

KRBFC

I still don’t understand the Tresor situation and it’s not helped at all by Parker talking about him the way he does. I remember Parker talking about facing him in Belgium etc I just don’t understand why you would loan him out for game time if you thought so highly of him? Surely he’d be an asset he...

Get Magic Mike on ffs

KRBFC

I agree slightly with the overegging bit, he’s a decent squad cb with age on his side to develop further. But his loan out was to get him playing again following injury and as we were stacked at cb we could afford to do that. I can imagine we will do same with Beyer eventually. Fun fact but the las...

KRBFC

There is an uncanny resemblance in playing style and he actually has the look of him. Rolls Royce of a player, unsurprising as the Swedish International CB. If he was fit last season CJER wouldn't have had a look in. I think you’re seriously over egging it here, let’s put it in context he’s had one...

He’s certainly a big powerful athletic lad

KRBFC

Thought he was awful last week but very very good today, He didn’t put a foot wrong.

I still think we need an upgrade in that area though.

Looks a shite source which is a shame cos he's absolutely class.

That will be based on their PL goalscoring exploits, no doubt.

Brun Larsen can’t get regular football anywhere he goes, we needed quality and Brun Larsen is another quantity signing when the last thing we needed was bodies especially in forward areas.

KRBFC

Replace CJ with Tuanzebe

I’m sure that will go well

KRBFC

Hannibal played several games as a 10 for Man United, VK deployed Ramsey there, Flemming is also considered a 10, and Amorim played Edwards there for Sporting. I'm pretty certain we won't be married to 3 at the back, but who knows? Just support the gaffer instead of this little game you've got goin...

I’m aware of that, that’s why I asked if we’re simply the cash cow to support Espanyol.

KRBFC

I was one who responded to your post/posts re Ekdal, although I didn't necessarily disagree with you, I did think he was the one most likely to start v Spurs, of the 4 options I mentioned, walker, Tuanzebe, Ekdal, Worrall he was the one who'd figured pre season and seemed the safest bet fitness wis...

JJ doing the whole 'drink a few beers with the fans' routine looks very fake when he has already done it with one set of fans. The Multi Club Ownership model can work but I am not sure the 'celebrity fan' part of it can work as well with multiple teams. Still they can have Mike El Magico..... Agree...

KRBFC

You also know that if it was Tony Bloom who owned the club, the ones moaning would be perfectly fine with his part ownership in teams in Scotland, Belgium and Australia. There’s a huge difference though, Bloom has bankrolled those clubs from his own pocket and Brighton are the main team, his main f...

What exchange rate are you using to get to £7m

Not sure where I got that fee from, I stand corrected.
It’s a strange signing at any fee for me because we needed quality not quantity.

I'm pretty sure we paid around 4m euros for JBL so that's a low risk with potential reward. Similar with Tuanzebe who was a free transfer.

It’s not necessarily the fees, we already had a bloated squad, we didn’t need to sign squad filler type players.

KRBFC

Slight off topic - I can't be the only one who's struggling to understand the point of signing Tchaouna? Seems strange to splash more than 10m on someone who won't be a guaranteed starter. Brun Larsen a strange signing too, 7£m is massively overpriced for a winger who couldn’t get a start in the Bu...

KRBFC

Well I was shot down for suggesting we needed a right sided centre half to replace CJ because Ekdal isn’t good enough. We also need to replace Brownhill. A midfielder who can either pick a pass or score a goal. Then potentially a loan or two, in any position where it seriously improves us. I still t...

KRBFC

Purpose of the thread well and truly gone. We all know he hasn't scored at the rate required - the thread is about identifying if there's a position / role on the pitch perhaps he's better suited to, because there's no denying that his work rate / strength / speed / link play is good enough for our...

KRBFC

I have seen considerably cheaper strikers slagged off within months yet almost 3 years after we spent £9m on Foster for 8 goals he's immune to criticism from some. Iwelumo springs to mind and he scored the same amount of goals in 1 game than Foster managed in 39 games at the same level in a better s...

KRBFC

So because posters are giving an opinion on a striker who’s scored 8 goals for us in almost 3 years it’s an agenda or an axe to grind?

KRBFC

I’d have Koleosho and Tresor over Brun Larsen, a bizarre signing when we already had an abundance of wide players.

Him stepping up and losing his duel is directly what led to the third goal.

If he didn’t step up the goal doesn’t happen.

Not sure how that’s true at all. It’s normal for a centre half to follow the striker into midfield when in a back 5. It’s completely different from playing a back 4.

KRBFC

Tbf KRBFC you rated Esteve a 7 when he was directly responsible for the 1st and 3rd. You’re not marking Ekdal and Esteve with the same metrics. Directly responsible for the third how? We’re playing a back 5, Esteve follows the lone striker high, there should be more than enough cover behind to deal...

KRBFC

Shocked that some have given Ekdal and Sonne a 7 (good). How can a centre half largely responsible for conceding 3 goals be rated as good?

KRBFC

Not sure why you highlighted almost, had Anthony done better with the finish , Foster gets the assist and we’re having a different conversation (or aren’t mentioning it). We are 90 minutes into the season, we’ve played Tottenham Hotspur away on the opening day, a pretty tough start for a newly prom...
