That’s why we would be getting him for 20 million and not 40-50. He still led the wolves in goals and assists. He’d be perfect as a player that could rotate with our front 3. Great attitude too.

Yeah I read that but we'd be offering him CL football + a chance to be part of a team that could compete for a trophy. And it's not like he wouldn't get any starts. I would fully expect him to get 35+ apps across all competitions and start 15+ of those. I see him as a player that would rotate with our front three, not a super sub type of player.
If we want to really compete this season, we can't have subpar players on our squad. Every player needs to be potentially starter material at any given time - just like Liverpool, Chelsea, City etc.
I don't think he is good enough for us to be honest mate, think he will do better in another league and may want a fresh start
I believe the way to look at it is to deduct the starting line up above (which I agree with) and then see how you would lay out the team.
A proper European cup, injuries, no easy game in the prem etc. We are going to need depth everywhere.

Most people would say RWB is the most pressing need. Personally, I have more faith in Doherty than most, I think CM is a bigger issue.
So at the very least we need a world class(ish) CM and RWB.
Who do you recommend?
Do people think Spence would be a ‘comes straight in for Doherty’ signing or ‘provides competition’ signing? I’m sure both would get heaps of game time regardless next year, realistically if we are to sign Bastoni & Eriksen along with Perisic our RWB probably has to be homegrown.
No disrespect to Tottenham - European Super League royalty, best stadium in England without an NG postcode, chicken badge, etc - but if Djed has a choice between Spurs and Forest I suspect he’s going to choose the latter.
He comes across as quite an introverted character despite appearances. He was alienated at Middlesbrough and said that he just wanted to go somewhere where he could enjoy his football again. He’s repeatedly said that he loves it at Forest, where he can truly develop his talent. Cooper is a top coach for young players and has built an amazing team spirit. Our style of play suits him. And Djed’s Mum also loves Forest and led our pitch invasion. So all signs are that he’d stay with us rather than sit on your bench and that would be the right thing for his career, IMO.
Basically, what I am saying is:
Warnock gave us Spence and said ‘he’s shite, he’s shite’,
Warnock gave us Spence and said ‘he’s shite, he’s shite’,
Colin thought that Spence was shite,
But now he’s f**king dynamite,
And we all love Djed Spence down at the City Ground!

Don't think we'd sign him for £17m to sit on the bench mate
If he chooses Forest over Spurs, CL football for a relegation dogfight, Conte over Cooper then good luck to him, tells us more about his mentality and his ambition it anything, we don't need players like that.
But I suspect you're being a teeny bit bias though...
The lad has to do what he thinks is best for his career but agree with the mentality, shows weakness will damage his reputation. We don’t need those types of players and after a few months of players like Son, Diaz, Stirling ripping him a new one losing 3,4 nil every week his stock will drop and regret it.
Fuck off to your forum and the championship ya shit cunt.
One week since promotion and he’s already tooling around other teams’ forums.
Here’s a tip - go and have a play on Woolwich Mania, or KUMB before

If spurs come in for DS you won't see him for dust.
Personally I hope you're right as I think he will be torn a new one in the prem.
If he thinks he isn't ready to make the step up to Spurs yet then fine, I'm not sure these type of opportunities come about too often though.
Would it not make more sense to buy him and loan him back to forest for a season or at least until January?
Will they be relegated by then?
Maybe for him, not for us though
Genuine man crush. I almost feel as though I know him and could go for a pint and get on with him like any other long time mate.
No, we need the homegrown space if we want to upgrade Winks and have a slightly bigger squad.
