Anyway this is what Senor Karanka says about it:

“I think, again, it is something that has to make three parties happy,” said Karanka. “If Blackburn want the player, the player wants to go and the amount of money is good for Forest, then good.

“If nothing arrives with that, then I am really pleased. Because he is a really good player, with a really good future.

“Always, it is about those three parties. If the offer is no good, we are going to say no. If the player does not want to go, it will not happen. I am calm, I have the player here, he has a very good future. Let’s see.”

Btw is them chicken fellas still your owners? They're pretty miserly I gather. But I think 6-8 million on a striker aged 19 is a good deal. Worse case you'll recoup it when you sell on. Prove himself and you'll make enough to buy 2 strikers 2 years down the road.

I believe we have gone back in with an £8m offer. We are serious and I think we'll cone back one more time of this one gets rejected.

Only time will tell if he lives up to his young early talent. He will play in our side, but we wouldn't be dependant on him. And I think our young squad is a good place for him to continue his development. He will be managed and coached well.

Yes, the same Venkys. But just not the same mistakes. They own a company who turns over billions. And £8m to them is pocket money. It's more if Mowbray feels he is worth the fee. He just gets the backing of the owners who pump in millions into the club and sit in the background and write cheques. We have a decent CEO who Mowbray brought in, and they keep things running nicely. We are keeping well with FFP and have quite a big budget. We just don't want to blow it all in one season. We are building over 3. But wanting to very much be part of this league in the meantime.
