Brentford applying pressure maybe best thing that can happen here. Force Levy into concluding a deal quicker. Would be a big black eye if Brentford pay the money and we won’t for our manager’s top target.
Yep, It would make absolutely no sense whatsoever if we hadn't got a fair way down the road with this one, at least with the player and his agent and some knowledge about the likelihood of Forest selling - i'm sure there must be a fair bit of negotiating still to do but i would be shocked if we didn't think we had a good chance of landing him , it''d be a massive waste of time otherwise.My reading of some of the ITK info is that we're not just entering into negotiations now.and its been going on for a little while.
Fab just retweeted this, wonder if he's hinting that Chelsea is going to get involved....
What I don't understand is if it is such a tough deal to do why are we only entering negotiations now.
Brentford or no Brentford, we have to be quick. The window is closing in a couple of days.Brentford applying pressure maybe best thing that can happen here. Force Levy into concluding a deal quicker. Would be a big black eye if Brentford pay the money and we won’t for our manager’s top target.
Brentford bid 40 million
He can draw pictures now? It’s a useful addition to his skill set.I think Lenglet illustrates Ange is in control.
I'm not sure they'd get much of a bidding war from these two teams, both are very much the sort to have a valuation and stick to it, rather than going all Chelsea on a transfer.If Forrest really want £50-55 mil for him I’m guessing this will get turned down pretty quickly. Unless of course there are a large add ons. Ether way I’m sure Forrest will be hoping it starts a bidding war.
And yet, that's exactly what we did with RicharlisonWhat ? A club spending money to replace their striker before the player actually leaves ?
But it will still set a baseline price. I’m very curious to see how highly we are willing to go for him. You’re right that I don’t see ether us or Brentford going much above it but i wouldn’t be surprised if Forrest still manage to get a few extra mil in add ons etc because of our mutual interest. Ether way I’m sure Forrest will be trying to encouraging us and any other potential suitors to compete.I'm not sure they'd get much of a bidding war from these two teams, both are very much the sort to have a valuation and stick to it, rather than going all Chelsea on a transfer.
With Richarlison struggles & forward line in transition certainly Johnson top pick should be Spurs… especially with a manager like AngeI maybe way off but if I'm Johnson and it's Tottenham or Brentford telling forest there is no way I'm going to Brentford. What's the point?
And I'd say that for another 7 or 8 clubs if they were in for him against Brentford. It's barely a sideways step

But it’s not down to him anyway
As much as I respect how Brentford go about things, I’d say Forest are a way bigger club. Might be an old fashioned way of seeing things, but Brentford are punching well above their weight even being in the premier league. So yeah, I wouldn’t see the point in him moving there right now.I maybe way off but if I'm Johnson and it's Tottenham or Brentford telling forest there is no way I'm going to Brentford.
