On the verge of retirement by all accounts. Having some mental health issues & just isn't interested in football anymore.
Nearly mentioned him. He's on loan from M'Boro. Think with the restrictions of European players, the pool of players will be trawled more thoroughly over here, albeit clubs will have limited funds to do so. Not that I want us to do so, but Marcus Maddison is surely better than a bench warmer at Bolton (what has happened to the bloke?). Playing to his ability he's a Championship footballer.

Don’t know how he’s played all season but Wing has looked class for Rotherham each time I’ve watched.

Very good player. Would 100% take him.Don’t know how he’s played all season but Wing has looked class for Rotherham each time I’ve watched.
Tend to be a bit uncomfortable knocking people's knowledge of the game as it starts a cringey I know more than you back and forth. But I agree, I do wish people would put a bit more thought into these things.These threads usually show how little people know about players outside the Premier League. The names suggested so far are in the main either players we played in the last week or former Cov players.
Ellery Balcombe - Goalkeeper
Matt Penney - Full back
Lewis Baker - Midfield
Lyle Taylor - Forward
Kwadwo Baah - Forward
(Frankly, I really have no idea who'd be any good, and who'd be any bad but hey, may as well throw some names in
Deal fell through due to medical reasons, so could potentially make him a permanent gamble. Even if it had gone through, plan was to loan him out somewhere, so wherever he ends up, you'd assume the same would apply if it's a big club. tbh, he's one of my more plausible ones!Baah looked a handful in some snippets I've seen (but as man City were sniffing around him, I suspect he'll have plenty of options).

Wouldn't want Lyle Taylor after how he treated CharltonLyle Taylor is an odd one. Cocky but has ability. Got very little game time at Forest and couldn't get ahead of Grabban (when fit, but off-form) or on loan Glen Murray. Suspect his wages are more than we could afford. Baah looked a handful in some snippets I've seen (but as man City were sniffing around him, I suspect he'll have plenty of options).
Yeah, when I were younger I used to watch lots of lower league highlights, had a good knowledge. Now I pretend to have a lifeBy our own admission most just watch CCFC and not other sides, which is fair enough. I’m sure most could dig into Football Manager or a podcast to appear more knowledgeable.

It tends to depend on them having a half decent game against us though, or being mentioned in dispatches. The ones that wind me up are the players because they woz good in 2014, we should therefore sign them based on that. That's how we got into a mess in the first place!Let's face it - until this season we knew the lower leagues inside out. It was some of the PL players I had trouble with
Genuine open question: have we harmed our reputation with Wolves / Giles? Are they likely to offer us players over another team?Dion Sanderson currently on loan at Sunderland from wolves looks the part, centre half. Would take him on loan.

Both of them just itching for a loan in the Championship then, surely, if not their main club's #1? Bring one of them in, keep Wilson hanging around, and bring in a keeper with a view to development in the hope they can become first choice in a season or two.Really like Balcombe but he's highly rated at Brentford & they just extended his deal until 2025. Joe Bursik is another excellent young keeper on loan in L1 but in a similar position at Stoke where he's contracted until 2024.

As a general observation, looking at players who have excelled on loan at league one level is probably one way to go ref: possible loans for us next season.Possibly. I personally prefer an experienced No.1 but could be an option, both done well in League One.
Same, I used to watch lower leagues, foreign leagues, everything. Not so much now but I do dip in and out and have a rough idea of what's going on and some players that may be handy.Yeah, when I were younger I used to watch lots of lower league highlights, had a good knowledge.

Is he available?He’s definitely worth a go
Is he available?
Theyd have to offer some money alongside Taylor to afford BiamouI think so - hasn’t fitted in at Forest. Possible biamou swap?
Swindon are about to get relegated to L2 but one of the bright lights has been 21yo midfielder Scott Twine. Was on loan at Newport until January but went back to Swindon and scored 5 in 21 games since. Partial to the odd screamer. Out of contract and Peterborough the latest club linked
He scored this goal against us in pre season if you remember

Taylor is a good player. Strange it didn't work out at Forest, maybe attitude. Imagine he'd be on a significant salary at Forest so likely out of our reach.
