Similar the Eriksson to Brentford. They need a big name and no real ties.I think it's a good deal for Forest. They know what they are getting in comparison to some unknown playing in France or Austria.
In comparison mags signed Thauvin in 2015 for 18.35m EUR....5 year deal so potentially cost at say 40k p/w = 10m. Played 13 games....and went on loan and eventually sold back for 11m EUR.
Loss = 7.35m EUR and likely 6 months @ 40k and 18 months @ 20k so 2m in wages.Just shy of 9m for 13 games.
If it wasn't for Marseille picking him mags would have paid out 28m quid on Thauvin.
If forest go down then they don’t have to worry about paying stupid wages in the championship. This really could be the future of transfer for the bottom half of the table
