Not debating your intel Panda but you say "it was actually agreed" but surely Lamouchi taking him on pre-season tour proves that it wasn't. Is it a case of, a deal was agreed with O'Neill but now Lamouchi has come in he wants to have a look at him. Realistically if you were a manager you'd want to completely vet your squad before considering sending out anyone on loan or letting go of players on a permanent basis so that makes sense.

As a result, I'm guessing the loan deal is still on the table, it's just a matter of Lamouchi being 100% sure that Walker isn't going to be in his plans next season?

I'm just going by what I was told. It was a definite whilst O'Neill was in charge but we'd only see it coming to fruition mid July.

The assumption I make from that is:

Okay you can have Tyler for the summer, but he's been out on loan for a whole season already. We want to take some time with him to touch base before he trains with you lot because he is still our player for two more years.

I don't get told of possible linked players, only players that are pretty much done.

I mean he's their player so I suppose that's fair enough if they want to have him for the majority of July to touch base. Like I said, Lamouchi is undoubtably going to want to have a look at him considering how well he performed last season for Mansfield. Managers like to make up their own minds on players rather having their minds made up for them.

Just throwing a bit of speculation out there but has Lamouchi perhaps hinted that he'd be willing to let Walker go out permanently rather than loan? Seems this 'permanent' angle has sprung out of nowhere. Or is it a case of both fans and journalists trying to put 2 and 2 together and coming out with 5?

Where does the permanent angle come from, exactly? I’ve read that if Chaplin (and Wilson) are sold, it could fund a permanent BID from CCFC, but it doesn’t mean NForest would sell. On the other hand, anything is on the table with a new manager until he decided it’s not, so maybe their manager is still open to selling.

Is Forrest’s new guy manager or head coach? It could be that the Director of Football deals with transfers and has given the go ahead for a loan and an indication of what would be an acceptable fee for a permanent transfer.

Walker scored 22 from 43 starts in L2 last season.

Before we signed him Chaplin had scored 22 in 31 starts, 5 of those goals in L1.

That's an extremely positive spin on Chaplin's stats. Most of his appearances were off the bench. Overall he averaged about 1 in 4 and I recall the general consensus from Pompey fans was that he was better as an impact sub as he'd been poor when he had started.

Was closer to 1 in 3 in L2 when you consider minutes played but I take your point. That said those two seasons in L2 were nearly three years ago and he’s currently the same age as Walker. Walkers record with injury is also not great.

I’m not saying he’s crap, I’m just saying it’s much of a muchness as to which one is likely to perform at this level.

Hmmm. “Starts”

Wiki showing he scored 25 in 122 games at Pompey. 1 in every 5 appearances

“Appearances”

Better to look at minutes on the pitch. And age. As I say above.

And again. Not saying walker isn’t great. Just let’s keep our powder dry on kids unproven at this level.

Edit: also the point I was replying to was that Walker “scored goals” and Chaplin didn’t. Yes I’m being a pedant. No you fuck off.

Think I read somewhere that Forest have 35 players on their books right now, with Lamouchi wanting more of his own. So it could be a case of Forest shipping out players that have concrete interest in them now - rather than taking a risk and waiting for teams to become interested in others later in the window.

Unsure. I’m personally leaning towards fans, Twitter accounts and now journo’s trying to add 2+2 and coming out with 5.

However, with Chaplin looking like he’s out the door it wouldn’t shock me if we’ve made enquires, which perhaps could also be where the story has generated from - but I’m merely speculating. There’s literally loads of arguments for and against why Forest would/wouldn’t let him go. Like, even with a new manager coming in I find it hard to believe Forest would let him go so easily, but then again they need to source funds for incoming players.

I think more will come out next week once both ourselves and Forest are back from pre season. I’ve asked a mate who’s a ST holder at Forest to do some digging for me so hopefully he’ll shed some light on it.

5 goals in 33 far better options...I think we will end up with either Walker,Marquis or Eaves
Click to expand...

That’s not terrible for a team who got relegated. I just don’t see where this signing would fit in. Maybe he’s available on a really cheap fee?

All of Tyler Walker, Eaves and Marquis are the kind of players you fit into your team.

Dobson's a quality midfielder, but Ferrier is a lazy, arrogant pace merchant who couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. Do not want.

Just read on their forum that he's a hugely disruptive influence in the dressing room. Doesn't seem like a player MR would go for attitude-wise so I'd be shocked if it was us that showed interest.

Especially when we let JCH go on a free for that reason...
