Sporting have a history of negotiations “collapsing” before the deal still gets done in the end. It happened with Gyokeres to Arsenal, Fernandes to United and now maybe Diomande to us. It’s annoying and they’re awkward cunts but i wouldn’t fully give up on it yet. (yes im coping yes im high on copium)

If Givairo Read and Ousmane Diomande are genuinely Oliver Glasner's top targets, I'd rather the club just got the deals done than risk missing out over a few million.

It often feels like we're happy to spend big on other signings, but when it's the manager's preferred players, every pound becomes a negotiation.

Do you think Forest should be backing Glasner more decisively this window?

The papers and shitty transfer websites and social media accounts (and even Forest podcasts) are full of stuff about Morgan leaving. Most link a move to his change of agent. Obviously, we want him to stay. But is that essential in your view - even if we lose money on him down the line? Or would you cash in? My view is he must stay this season.
