Signing for Forest £25 million, plus £17 million in add ons.

I'd love to know what the add ons are!

You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

Bonkers money for a player with so little experience in the top flight and one good season in thw Championship (only 22 I know).
But he is one of Cooper's England under 17s.

Poll: Should the summer transfer window close before the season starts?

Not at all, his quality is obvious. Looked elite when he was on loan with us, probably one of the most talented players I’ve seen. I said it on game 1.

He’s special.

Again you get your facts wrong Waddle was a fairly low cost investment when we were in the old Third division Waddle was bought along with keeper Geoff Crudginton for £54000 that was the price paid for both the record signing was Colin Irwin £350000 we did go bust but mainly as a result of building the East stand....coupled with the cost of being in tbhe first divisdion with div 2 crowds

Martin has had over 12 months and still cant sort out the defence astoniishing given he was a defender himself!


Yes I mixed up Waddle with Max Thompson perhaps?. Times plays tricks. The facts I sometime get wrong are incidentals.

The defence was ok at Rotherham. Two players let him down at Oxford Benda and Congreve. Martin has gone for a very young centre back group. Bringing Sorinola is another in a series of transfer blunders it seems.

Crazy money.
When Forest get relegated they are going to be in serious financial trouble.
Personally I think Cooper manages better on a tight budget

No different to when Brighton get relegated.

Where did you see they had a salary bill of £65m? You seem to have ignored that one.

I thought we were playing the game where the Martin fanatics and the non Martin fanatics were all the same poster?

But yes the £65m bill is nonsense. Probably half.

Our wage bill was above £65m when we were in the Prem
Wasn't it around 80% of income?

It was, that’s what happens when you stay there for 7 years. Costs spiral to a point where even a reserve goalkeeper is on Premier League wages of 15k+.

Forest were promoted with a salary budget of around £22m including loan signings of Keinan on 45k a week at his parents club. About £18m without them.

If someone can add £50m a year onto that by writing out where, then they would start to see how ludicrous such a suggestion is.

£35m-£40m would probably be roughly about right.

Brighton have a salary budget of £45m roughly and they have spent about 4 times that of Forest, paying the likes of 34 year old Adam Lallana almost 100k a week.
