Henri Lansbury, the angriest man in the Championship and the 3rd best centre midfielder on the pitch last Friday, is going to Burnley for £4 million.

Great player would sign him in a heartbeat. Didn't play well Friday, but did any Forest?

Forest didnt play well because for the first time we managed to have 2 midfielders who shackled him. Well done to Kayal and Stephens you stopped Lansbury and stopped Forest.

I would like to see before the close of the window, 2 wingers in, 2 centre backs in, 1 striker possibly a club record signing, and I can see CoG going and rumours Dunk off to Newcastle.

Yeh yeh, this, plus Lionel Messi on loan, free pies for everyone, world peace and a hot date with Rachel Riley. Problem solved - easy, ain't it?

Reports that the Nigel's have accepted a bid of £6m rising to £8m from Bristol City for gayle.

Seems a hell of a lot to me

Where in HELL have Bristol City found £6m?

 

[Simster]

Gayle is a decent player at this level. A much shrewder purchase for Brizzle than Lingard would have been.

Wasn't it their chairman who was moaning about the cost of Championship players? It seems he's less concerned with the cost of those from the PL.

More to do is he really worth that money. It's only palace fans that will tell you he is the best finisher the world of football has ever seen.

"MIDDLESBROUGH are close to tying up a three-year deal for David Nugent.
Leicester accepted Boro’s £4m offer for Nugent over the weekend, and the Teessiders’ recruitment team have spent the last two days attempting to persuade the former England international to drop down to the Championship."

Now being reported at only £2m which makes it a good deal.

Burnley have completed the signing of Andre Gray for £9 million. Crazy money for one of the worst strikers I saw last season.

That's probably more than they spent when they were actually in the premier league.

 

[northstandsteve]

I am surprised at Burnley, well run club, but received cash for \ings. Loads of pace 18 goals last season, ticks the boxes. Could be more difficult this year for him, surprise eleemnt gone.

Try nearer £6 million.


Even the man himself has said ......"it wasn't that much" (as in £9 million).

Even if that is true £6m is way above his worth. It just shows how the parachute payments make managers lose all sense of reality.
