Summer Transfer Window 2022

The PL is less physical than the Championship so hopefully it’ll suit our style. EM has promised to back SC and we’re already being linked with decent players. If we can sign most of our loanees then we won’t need that many. The good news is that players WANT to join us.

I am fairly sure Johnson and Worrall will stay now we're back in the PL given their affinity with the club and that they are still young.

In terms of the loanees, apparently Spurs and Arsenal are in for Spence, hopefully the fact that he seems settled in Nottingham and at the club, plus guaranteed regular game time will be enough to persuade him to sign for us. Garner will depend on Ten Haag's assessment of him but I think there is a possibility that he might want him to get more experience on loan but in the PL, given his experience at Forest that might persuade him to stay. I like Lowe, Davies and Zinckernagel but feel there are alternative options if we aren't able to sign them permanently. I might be being a bit harsh on Davies with that comment.

According to Paul Taylor wrting in the Athletic we are being linked with Gibbs-White, who I think would be a great signing. Hopefully he had a good relationship with Cooper when they were at Swansea. Other players mentioned in the article are Joe Rothwell who is a free agent awhen his contract expires at Blackburn this summer. Jed Wallace and Josh Bowler as also mentioned but would have been greater targets if we hadn't been promoted.

One interesting name mentioned is Jamaal Lascelles, along with Tom Holmes from Reading as possible replacements for Figueiredo, personally I would rather see Panzo and Mbe Soh given more opportunity. It also mentions that Forest have been linked with an interest in Buchanan and Lawrence from Derby.

One thing I do know is that with Dane Murphy at the helm we seemed to be a lot better organised on the transfer front. Paul Taylor mentions that Forest drew up two transfer target lists several months ago, one for if we were promoted to the PL and the other for if we'd still be in the Championship. I think we're in for an exciting summer and with a combination of Marinakis's financial backing, Murphy's leadership and Cooper's great management I am confident that we will be able to hold our own next season!! 
     

Joe Rothwell being suggested as 90% done. Free transfer.

We may not see much happening for a couple of weeks as I think most contracts traditionally end on June 30th and some players and managers may be on vacation. Having said that, it’s not long until 6th August.

Looking forward, due to the timing of the World Cup, the January window could be more significant.

Why a new goalie? (If true!) What is wrong with Samba? (And someone like Pope would not want to "play second fiddle" to anyone)

And, I think they (the Press) can forget Brereton, too!

Noah Okafor - striker from salzburg
Armando Broja - striker from chelsea (on loan at southampton last season)
Harry Toffolo - Huddersfield
Attillia Szalai - Fenerbahce centre half
Ferdi Kadioglu - Fenerbahce left wing back
Joel Piroe - Swansea Striker

By the time the Window does open, IF we sign just half the players we're rumoured to be interested in, we'll have a Squad of about 65 players come opening day of the season😃😃😃😃
