Kongolo was gone before Corberan arrived but O'Brien had his break through season under him.
O'Brien likely to be well out of our price range now, and Kongolo would be one hell of a risk, he's been pretty much woeful ever since Hudds paid nearly £20m for him!
Kongolo a left footed centre back so can understand the links. Barely featured since siging for Fulham. On loan in France last season.
O'Brien would be some signing. Carried Huddersfield to 3rd spot according to Hudds supporting mate. Unfortunately probably out of our price range

O'Brien feels like one who won't move until deadline day. Be interesting to see whether Forest are as keen this time for a mandatory purchase clause.

I think they’ll be pushing for it, but maybe a more realistic figure than the £10m they wanted in Jan.
Kongolo makes sense due to his left foot and can cover at LB, but he’s not a dominant CB, and he’s certainly not got the kind of attitude to carry a back line’s organisation.
Imagine it’s one we’ve asked about and that’s about it. It does scream our kind of transfer… mid career, been crap for a few years, high wages…

It's not the twatter anymore. It's the 'X'.

Technically it’s still Twitter as it’s only the logo that changed from the bird to the X.
I see the X sign on top of twitter’s HQ was taken down due to complaints from locals.

Maja given the number 9. That may put to rest the myth of 2 strikers coming in, as per the rumours ok twatter.

I don’t know about that, surely we’d be more likely to give the number 9 shirt to a permanent transfer, not a loanee

Why he’s a striker on a permanent deal, not yet fit enough to play. We will still need a big unit up top. I think 1 more striker will arrive.

We still feel light up there... we're putting a lot of faith in Maja who hasn't been prolific at this level and BTA, and we don't particularly have the best scoring record from the wide players around them.
I'd like to think we are still in the market for another striker and a CB, but appreciate we really need to make another decent sale and clear out the likes of Kelly, Button and Chalobah.
