Gloucester Saint

Sadly yes, was about to go out on loan in the winter transfer window to get minutes and did his ACL https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/football/shrewsbury-town-fc/shrewsbury-town-saw-move-for-southampton-and-former-port-vale-starlet-collapse-due-to-injury-5638723

We know it’s possible to be ‘MLGed’ on this site, but I think LE just got ‘Turkished’.

Two of the very, very finest to wear our shirt as well during halycon days for the club. I dread to think what - assuming they’re still around - they’d have made of some of the garbage over the last five or so years!

I’ve got on board with it - fans reviews strong at Forest although clubs can over-rate their home grown (we do it as well). Alongside Keven it could work well and he looks a decent unit which he’ll need to be.

Quite, there has been more positives than negatives - Peretz was a great surprise and pick up after the play-offs saga, Larin too. JWP return a positive. Abbott could be a good addition, just not what was expected, and Keven looks a steal. A lot of deadwood gone - Bazunu, Sugawara, BBD and Downs on loan. Still some chunky wages there eg Ramsdale. Jury out on Dobbin so far and didn’t seem a priority. And the squad looks very light up front now and in wide areas. Surely that’s not an unreasonable and balanced summary?

ACL - was set to move to Shrewsbury on loan in January https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/football/shrewsbury-town-fc/shrewsbury-town-saw-move-for-southampton-and-former-port-vale-starlet-collapse-due-to-injury-5638723

Although imagine if Dave Merrington was still co-commentator.

Forewarned is forearmed in Middlesbrough at the moment.

Saudi window open for at least couple more weeks though.

Completed your post for you.

Sterling would a risk of a Peter Osgood-type accident on the M3, or worse, to training every day. Assuming he isn’t banned/incarcerated.

You’d have to say very strange having shifted so many in that area of the squad to not being able to bring in a loan PL fringe striker. I don’t think it is serious financial trouble though, I think it’s expectation setting after yesterday.

At least one short. Loaning the lad to Leyton Orient seems daft in that context unless he really isn’t up to the Champ if they’re so skint so they can’t even loan a PL fringe striker in.

Dobbin isn’t a striker, or a winger. Seems to have been a #10 for PNE so more rotation for Finn Azaz. Would be stupid to leave the club that short up front with DD gone as well, Stewart already gone and Archer very likely but the club has history eg Fonte and January which cost us a major trophy.
