oh behave BT.
I have been down this road with you lot over the last 2 years. I told you all about Lansbury. "it's a done deal" was the cry, I told you it wasn't and got nothing but abuse.
I am not saying Assombalonga isn't available, but the price you seem to want him at is the issue.
We don't want to sell, but if it comes to a crunch, you have to meet the valuation. Get closer or above 20M then you may have a chance.
The length of contract on him means he isn't going cheap.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Stop expecting to get players on the cheap.

So Britt doesn't want PL football - I'm sure he does.
Don't all owners want their clubs up though? Isn't that why Lansbury didn't come - bet he's glad he stayed!
Dyche and Warburton are mates so let's calm down and get realistic.

I am calm.

What utter tosh about Lansbury. You were prepared to bid 3.5 M for him, well under contract.
Villa got him for 3M when his contract had nearly gone.

Whose the fool here?

14 pages and all we've signed is a full back who was on strike ffs

The difference is, "Britt wants to play in the EPL!"

...and we have more money than God! :D

Keane is being treated like a saint, Gray like a leper and I am not really understanding why? :confused:

The name of the game is financial gain, moving to "bigger" clubs with better prospects and loftier ambitions.

We have had our moneys worth out of both players, time to move on and go about our own business, which it seems to me is exactly what we are doing!

Just so we have it right , when did Keane leak to the press he wanted 100k a week or he wasn't signing unless we met his demands-- I appreciate its money and everyone wants to better themselves.

I just think Keane did it properly and Gray was un professional in the way he released his demands , i wander how popular he was at training ? In our very tight knit squad.

You can't seriously blame us for wanting to stick it to you Forest dwellers after our past experiences with a set of duplicitous scumbags? Can you?

Lansbury as he's still not in the EPL and Forest for losing £0,5M and failing to get into the EPL too!!;D

What was the split of home/away games that he started/didn't start? I expect more of his starts were away from home. It's also a bit misleading including cup games.

Rather than wondering why I chose the last six, it's more informative to wonder why Dyche only started him in two of them. The last game of the season he started against West Ham, a club apparently interested in signing him........shop window ?

I've just lifted the stats as is, no analysis at all, they may pan out a bit unfair on him, I don't know I haven't checked, but the discrepancy is so great it'll take some explaining away. It seems too great to be down to a few more away matches, but I have to be honest, I don't really know. Just taking them at face value though they do confirm my opinion, (and it's only that, an opinion) that we won't miss him.

Stop expecting to get players on the cheap.
Is £12M cheap for an unproven player in the PL - Watford get offered £20M for Deeney who is tried and tested. Likewise we get offered £15M for Gray.
Maybe you need to get real - it'll be £25M tomorrow I suppose. :P
