After a load of new signing you'd think it'd be all over by now, but warburtons says we're close to one or two signing, also looking towards moving on two or more players.
Targets definitely include a goalkeeper.
Forest have had a 1.5m bid rejected for Frederik Ronnow. Dannish international keeper. He is the current target in a long list of experienced keepers which includes Foderingham and Federici. Very highly acclaimed keeper,
On the outs:
Nixon said that tomorrow Hobbs is going to be made available and put in the shop window. Big earner. Will probably need to be moved on to free space for new players
You would expect a pair from Lam, Lica, evtimov, or (fox if we can get in a competent left back) would be the players moved on in the coming days.
For those that it slipped by, stokjovic has agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent a few days ago.
Some stellar work this window so far and it's not even done ✅
Couple in. Couple out.

I could see Vellios making a sudden move. He is likely to play at Newcastle tomorrow but he is going to have to have the patience of a saint to break into the league side, it seems. He won't be one of the higher earners but he isn't going to want to be a bit part player forever.

Will I think you're right about Hobbs. It's a shame because he's probably the best CB we have when fit. Not sure Mills is much of a footballer either. Lam is the best ball playing CB we have but can't defend for toffee so probably best he goes too.
Who is going to take on Hobbs and his big wage and injury record??

Mills was very good on Saturday, had that big Gestead or however you spell it, in his back pocket.
The work done so far by the management team has been fantastic, it shows clearly what utter shambles we have been. Bridcutt is key; his stats are very similar to that of Vaughan and at 28 is in his prime.
We are getting to be a team that may be looking at bothering the playoff places come April/May time.

I can't see vellios leaving, see him as back up for murphy who just happens to be on top form at the moment.
Especially when there's other more pressing to get rid of. Arguabley hendo as well when we're looking at another keeper.
Rønnows come out saying something along the lines of the only way for him to improve and become better than kasper is moving to a mote competitive league some time soon.
Seems very happy to leave, just need to haggle on fee

Seems the owners have been encouraged by the good start to the season and are making more of the Assombalonga (Gunter?) money available than they initial planned to. This Danish goalie would be quite a coup but I have a feeling Forest may get gazzumped by a club from a higher league for him.

We'll get the Danish keeper.

"Are forest close to signing anyone?"
Warburton " yes, we are. We're close to one or two"

"Forest in for Krystian Bielik from Arsenal on loan 19 year old centre half" according to a ITK on vital.
We've also had a second bid for rønnow rejected.

Suspect Brondby really want to start an auction for this goalie.

According to the Post, Bridcutt was closer to 500k.
I think we'll play the waiting game on the goalie.
Goalie is one target. Says there could be 2-3. Surely two of either a: CB, LB or CM.
