Because they don't have Jeff Shi running their club.Just read that Forest have agreed to pay him that! How's that even possible?!

Hypothetically let's say MGW cost them £25m and £75k per week for 4 seasons that's £10.15m per seasonJust read that Forest have agreed to pay him that! How's that even possible?!
The Lingard one is the one that I think comes with the huge gamble. Breaking your wage structure for Jesse Lingard is odd. We did it on promotion but got Rui and Mout. Players with genuine class and pedigreeI know others are dismissive, but Forest have now made 8 signings and look like they are getting Lingard. Bringing that many new players in is always a danger, but unlike Fulham a couple of years ago it looks calculated rather than haphazard. The amount Lingard would get in wages would presumably put them out of the MGW race should it exist, if they get the version who was at West Ham for 6 months it'll be a great signing for them, not so much the Utd one of the rest of the last 3 years
Agreed, I didn't know the wages when I posted that this morning. I think he's worth the gamble as a player as he's the x factor that could elevate them, but not on those wages - I assumed he'd get about half of that even as a freebieThe Lingard one is the one that I think comes with the huge gamble.

If Lingard is poor (good chance) you really risk the squad getting royally fucked that a dude is earning £180k a week for doing TikToks and learning new dances should he score. Don't think they should take that gamble really, better spending those wages elsewhere for me.
I bet he scores more than Pod, MGW and Adama this season and comparable with Neto.He's an attacking midfielder who rarely scores or creates, offers nothing defensively and has no improvement or development left in him. I fail to see how that's decent.
If we signed him on a quarter of what Forest are purportedly offering I'd be mortified.
I don't think so and he definitely wouldn't for us.I bet he scores more than Pod, MGW and Adama this season and comparable with Neto.
The last time he got a run of games together which was West Ham he got 9 goals 5 assists in 16 games. No admittedly that was the best spell of his career but at United he was never first choice for the whole season, look at his minutes played. His record when you look at goals/assists and minutes played is more than decent enough.He's an attacking midfielder who rarely scores or creates, offers nothing defensively and has no improvement or development left in him. I fail to see how that's decent.

The lad from Cas gave it a go, he's going back to league apparently, turned down a few quid too.I believe it's happened in rugby (that is I seem to recall a younger colleague telling me this for some reason).
More money to be made as an influencer I guess..?
