Petrovic

A lot of conflicting reports on this. Some say he’s off to Bournemouth, some say nothing is advanced. Some say we’ve just enquired and that’s it so our interest may not be as heavy as some are suggesting. Could go any way to be honest.

The “enquired but not far along” smacks of what the Belgian lad was saying on the WMS podcast: that they’re trying to get word out we’re not that far along
 
Aye, he's scared of 49,000 people yelling at him

Data from the cup final is that he won us that game
He made an absolutely top class save, and I don’t think anyone would argue with his shot stopping ability.
However, there are some weaknesses in his game, and for me we need a keeper who’s played at the highest level (be that here or abroad) and can inspire confidence in his defence.
Cloughie said GK was the most important position on the pitch and backed up his words by buying the best around for Forest. I know he’s old school, but some things don’t change.

Yeah I said earlier.

All the Chelsea journalists say both us and Bournemouth are interested

Ben Jacob’s says we’re not advanced as did every other journalist at the time, we probably want people to think we’re not a big competitor

Basically all reports today can be rubbished because it shows literally nothing has changed, us and Bournemouth were the two fighting and now they’ve enquired further like we have

At this moment I still fancy us but if he wants to go there you can understand why.

I think we’ll throw a few more quid at him

His best save was the first one but the second one prevented us losing the match.

I don’t think Sheff Utd scoring in the first minute would have killed us off.
 
Is that something we should gamble on when we are targeting far better keepers?

I don't mind Patterson but the metrics show he didn't have a great season and was middle of the road in terms of championship keepers last season.

Why gamble when we can get better?

Dont disagree. Im pleasantly surprised theyve gone this route

Yeah but, Lord Sacha of Barnet said it was in the bag 🤷‍♂️
 
I’ll be canny gutted if we don’t get this one over the line which if funny because I didn’t know he existed a week ago

I fall in love easily too.
I'm still yet to see where Sacha said it was in the bag or done. People keep saying this but can't show where.

Did he not say it on the WMS podcast?

Didn’t say in the bag or done but said it’s very close, next few days etc’ no issues from Petrovic in joining us the clubs just need to agree.

Sure on WMS podcast he said personal terms with the lad had been agreed and it was now between the clubs to agree the final fee. It was only a matter of time.
He may well still be right 🤔

Aye but there's been nothing about the clubs actually agreeing. He can't make a decision to come if we won't agree to the financial terms.

So he didn't say it was done, like I said. If the club decide not to go ahead and pay what Chelsea are asking then its not going to get done regardless of if Petrovic has agreed or not.

Do you reckon it’s Chelsea trying to either A) drive the price up or B) get more up front?

The cold water seemed to come from their side
