Fantastic move for us

Antonio is a busted flush

Scamacca is getting knocks ATM we need someone and to get someone with his experience.. yes please

I think Ings is a great signing just got to keep him fit!

 

[Bdill93]

Problem is we have a great striker in scamacca, scores cracking goals (all 3 are worldly finishes) however we don't play to his strength.. give it to his feet not the air

That's also where Ings wants it... he's not tall!

Scamacca is tho so everyone wrongly plays to his head.

Crouch was a bit like that , he was a good player with the ball at his feet.

Why would signing Chris Wood make any fan happy? I've seen him live at Newcastle and on the tv and I really don't see what he brings. He is slow, fairly immobile, doesn't run channels, doesn't win much in the air, doesn't hold the ball up well, barely scores. He wont bring anything to improve Forest.

Just wondering how you rate Chris Wood LT

This used to frustrate me so much! With Spurs and with England. Crouch comes off the bench, and suddenly the whole team is reduced to just hitting long balls and crosses. He wasn't even that great in the air, he was just tall. On the ground he was excellent! Would anyone give it to him on the deck? No.

Antonio seems to want out aswell. The bloke publically came out and said "get me a striker in to complete with and help me"

Loses his place to scamacca and wants out.

Proper spoilt .. did the same when he came in and was played rwb

Went over managers head to Sullivan to say I won't play there

Antonio has a big mouth, that's for certain.

Was I bit too much on the fence?

This is what Liverpool got so wrong with Andy Carroll....they never twigged that he was decent with the ball played to his feet.

Agreed. Heard from a few sources when he got his England call up he got very arrogant then there was the celebrations.. with a cut out of himself? Pfft

Lost a lot of time for him with his whole Jamaican football BS. He rejected them in 2016 as he wanted to play for England so in 2021 at the ripe age of 31 thinks I know England don't want me and I have dodgy hamstrings what's my best plans? To concentrate on the club who pay me , maximise my fitness, keep my career going as long as possible? No I'll jet half way around the world on a plane (great for the hammies) to fulfil my life long dream (since 2021) to play for the reggae boys.

Joke of a professional

Oh and giving him the number 9 shirt was the most annoying thing ever. It summed up our transfer policy of no we ain't getting a top striker in we gonna make do..

Give the guy who's been wearing number 30 for 4 years was it? The 9 for no reason

Raises expectations for me. When he was number 30 he filling in 10 goals is ok return

If your our number 9 I expect more.

How do you really feel about him though? Stop mincing your words, man.

Looks like Arsenal are paying £20m plus add-ons for Trossard.

Seems a sensible purchase in that hes premier league experienced and should hopefully hit the ground running and gives some depth to the forward positions we are lacking, seems a high enough fee for a 28 year old whose contract runs out in the summer

Be interesting to see if thats it or 1 or 2 more are added

 

[arnieboy]

It seems that every time Spurs are rumoured to be interested in a player he is snapped up by Arsenal or Chelsea!

 

[Swango1980]

Just proposed a Draft Fantasy Football transaction, where I want to get rid of Trossard and get in March. I thought that would bne a good idea, Trossard isn't playing after all. One hour later, I hear he has signed for Arsenal. What to do now? Stick with the March proposed Transaction? Or keep Trossard? Will he play much for Arsenal, in a settled side that is playing well?

 

[PJ87]

Do city want to win the league this year? What is that defence? First choice defence all on bench. Debyrne on bench?

I mean they have wolves at the weekend no offence they are hardly arsenal

 

[nickjdavis]

Its like a morgue at City tonight.

"Punishment" for losing against Man Utd? Dropping players, sending a message no one is invincible? Except Haaland of course

 

[nickjdavis]

Arsenal must be loving this....I've never seen City so lacklustre and unimaginative.

43 minutes of mind numbing football and then two clinical Spurs moments.

 

[Billysboots]

Well this wasn’t in the script.
