Not the first time sky have got something about this wrong. Basically saying Leeds and Southampton not out the running yet but could be BS.

So many different journalists reporting different things in the past few days. You don't know what to believe!

No mention of Van Gaal sticking his oar in either.

Bearing in mind the way Sports Republic have covered the window so far. Including the effort to get Gapko I can’t believe they have got an alternative or two lined up. 
clearly they realise we need a striker.

That's my hope too. It's such a glaring hole that you'd hope we had contingency plans in place. Still very quiet and I think we might pop up with one.

I made that point earlier. If Gakpo was out of the question, Adam would have told us by now.

Probably been silenced after jinxing Gakpo.

Chelsea enquired about JWP earlier today, they were told in the most polite manor to “do 1”.

Left a bit of a sour taste with the Vale / Broja situations apparently.

Yeah I said the same thing earlier, trust him as top tier source than some of the muppets on Twitter

BREAKING NEWS.... one of the planes diverted to Rotterdam.... (still means bugger all of course... although slightly closer to Eindhoven than Amsterdam... )

I saw that aircraft in Luton airport a few days ago, we parked next to it.

Vale??

We were linked with Harvey Vale earlier in the window

I'm at the point where I really want Forest to keep signing players. If they really put some serious effort in I reckon they could hit 50 newbies by 11pm

Yep, he's historically quick off the mark to quash any often reported targets that that don't come off....

Yup, had. A medical and everything,

Yeah, just wondered why the sour taste that SG alluded to.

Really? And Chelsea just pulled the plug? HV couldn’t have been too happy about that??

Freebie in the summer?

How about this; I predict that in the next window some of the 'bigger' teams will be asking about the availability of JWP.

 

Alex Crook - nominative determinism.

Gakpo is out of the question. 

[AlexLaw76]

They have Johnson, Awoniyi, Surridge, Dennis as strikers/forwards.  Plus attacking fielders.

How does adding this player work?

He was right though.  He reported that a big club enquired about JwP earlier, and a big club enquired about JwP earlier.

Yes, in the same way that the Daily Express get an Armageddon weather forecast right once every 37 years...

That is simply one of the most easily predicted events of a transfer window. ( And I do not mean AC being right ).

I think its "let's get ourselves a buffet of players and try them all and see who we like best". It's brave/interesting/mad/exciting though.

How many times has he predicted the same sort of thing and it hasn't happened? He's bound to get something right every now and then. Doesn't make him Nostradamus and/or a reliable source. Surely even you can see the non-sequitur?

He obviously had a nudge on this one.  Just appreciate it, take in, and sing hallelujah

Is Caleta-Car any good? Are we essentially just investing in another Lyanco?

I guess Forest will put names on the front of their shirts too so the players can get to know each other LOL

That's the fella who said yesterday that Edozie was off to Leverkusen. Not sure that he's any more reliable than your man Crook.

Surely like when he was here he won't have a professional contract?

Definitely seems to have Chelsea connections to be fair

Yep he was the first one to say Dibling was off to Chelsea

Hadn't appreciated taht. Intrigued to know what's gone on if true though. SG said above that we've had issues with Chelsea, then a rumour we've got a bright talent back.

Chelsea may have broken FFP rules or certain regulations
