Can see the thought that has gone into our recent midfield transfer strategy...
Iliman N'diaye
Keirnan Dewsbury-Hall
Tyler Dibling (?)
Jack Grealish (?)
All play mid-low-socked.
On that basis Charly probably won't be starting.

Mail reporting we are still on for Douglas Luiz
I was with my Forest supporter mate yesterday and he reckons they are nailed on for Luiz - it’s in the bag. Really hope we nick it after some of the players they’ve swung their way instead of ours the last couple of years.

Or we might re-sign Tom Davies?

Whether it's feasible or not (I believe it is), no harm in getting excited and dreaming right?
It's been a painful window so now there's some potentially huge moves in the pipeline let's just enjoy it while it lasts.
Fine if that floats your boat, personally I prefer to manage my expectations .

Very happy with the signings we’ve made so far. If we could somehow add Dibling, Grealish, Luiz (or similar) and Justin (or similar) I’d be over the moon.

At the moment it's going okay, still only 1 first team ready player signed though, im sure this will change in the next week or so.
RW
CM (ideally with a bit of pace), but probably wont get one.
RB
still needed, wouldn't be upset with another centre back, we're a Tarkowski injury away from nightmare and striker (also highly unlikely).

Can’t see us signing Dibling, Grealish and Luiz as we’d then have an issue with fitting them all in the 11.
I think the CM will be more of an up and coming player to playing second fiddle to Gana whilst they bed in.
Beto
Ndiaye Grealish. Dibling
Gana. KDH
Myko. Branthwaite Tarks New RB
Pickford
Bench: Travers, Anzou, JOB, Keane, Garner, McNeil, Alcaraz, Armstrong, Barry
I’d rather we spend on a nailed on first choice RB than on more competition for CM - Gana, Garner, KDH and Armstrong is enough for the two CM slots IMO

We need to be sending Armstrong out on another loan ideally, same with Chermitti. I know im in the minority but I'm not convinced as everyone else on Dibling, but if we do end up with him then fine, McNeill can cover him.

Apart from anything else I just don’t think we have the money (within PSR) to sign Dibling, Grealish and Luiz, we are already up to about 70m aren’t we ?

Grealish and Luiz, if they came, would likely be loan deals.

Most reviews seem to suggest we can put down a £100-150m outlay (as long as players are signing 4 or 5 year contracts)
