Luiz rumours refusing to go away.
Grealish loan has popped up again.
Matlain-Niles interest apparently.
Personally i'd be happy with all them 3.
29 Jul 2025 12:22:30
And me mate wasn’t so keen on Grealish at first but reckon he could do a good job for us.
29 Jul 2025 13:42:09
I think Grealish would be excellent, free role, not stuck out on the left. Influence the game centrally in attack, can come deep tp get the ball of the defenders.

Forest just had a £25 million bid knocked back, bidding war coming up.
29 Jul 2025 15:48:31
The guy is a free kick magnet. Give him the ball and he’ll get us a set piece in a dangerous area. Step up Alcaraz to send it into the top corner.
Sign him up now!

They've had a £25 million bid rejected for McAtee Forest GB not Grealish.

Pretty sure Grealish was tried centrally by Villa and it just didn't work out, he needs to be on the left to be effective.
Can't decide if he'd work for us or not, as he is very similar to Ndiaye not sure if we could use them both at the same time.
{Ed025's Note - i think Ndiaye can play centrally EFCONE..
29 Jul 2025 18:27:33
Exactly Ed, both are capable of playing behind and have that bit of class to thread passes and decent shots on them. Grealish would be a statement signing albeit even if on loan, certainly strengthens us and could attract the other players we seem to be missing out on for one reason or another.
{Ed025's Note - a loan would be our only option i think Mocker, but if he was open to it i would certainly welcome him mate..

Where would you stick Alcaraz if we played Ndiaye and Grealish in the LW and CAM roles? Don’t think he’s signed for us to sit on the bench all season….
29 Jul 2025 19:41:25
Then they can all fight for their place. Nothing wrong with healthy competition. They’re professionals and should accept that.
29 Jul 2025 19:55:46
Be nice to have some depth, options and competition for place BR. We some flexibility and be a nice problem to have. Don't forget Ndiaye will be at the afcom in winter and gana.
29 Jul 2025 20:02:25
He wouldn't sit on the bench, others would.
He could easily play 8 for us. Gana at 6.
Alcarz 10 with Ndiaye on the left and? On the right.
Or if he did play left, simply move Ndiaye to rw.
29 Jul 2025 22:21:22
Hadn’t clocked Afcon Mocker - that’s a fair point. Shame we couldn’t get him from Jan onwards!
If we sort out the RW and RB then I could agree with signing him next. However, I’d prefer to get in Kubo, McAtee (or someone else CM) a RB and possibly another option up front sorted first. Given we’re also looking at Forfana who plays on the left also, it feels a bit strange for us to stack up with left sided players.
Not sure Ndiaye on the RW is a solution Bunkbeds - he’s better as LW or 10. Also unsure of Grealish as an 8.

Yeah totally agree that isn't or priority BR right side should be totally, just if the chance is there to sign Grealish we need take it but yeah presents a selection headache granted but thankfully one we don't need to worry about, in turn you would hope this applies some pressure on those to be on their game to retain a starting place, that can only be good for the squad BR and ultimately our chances of progressing, certainly be a nice problem to have given the recent seasons mate.
