Congrats in getting Champions League :)
Hopefully your new signings will help you have a successful season!
Sad to see him go, but with that amount of money you will make a hell of a team! How much % will you recieve for transfers from what you sell?
Aaron I thought about countering but 79 is a big amount and just couldnt

TVDLC I wanted to refuse it but Rodriguez is good for me so he will be taking over as first pick centre forward.

Neal & Tyler Sell I did but it was tough as I love that player.

Pompey Thanks it was hard work but I managed it and I have complete faith in my new signings

AAN I got 100% of the transfer so I am in the process of buying 2 more players I hope and that will be it then

Keegan Finally Lands Cirjak Replacement


Yes finally I have got my man for 6,500,000 as Adam Williams joins Forest from Manchester United. He is blessed with a great work ethic, incredible pace and knows how to finish too.
[URL=https://imageshack.com/i/nf2f1jp][/URL]
Williams is a player with a growing reputation among fans in England. He started his career with the Red Devils in February 2016, breaking into the first team in 2023 and made a total of 5 appearances and scored 2 goals. During this time he went to Rangers and West Brom on loan making a combined total of 47 league appearances and scored 20 goals.

I am delighted that Kevin saw me as Antonio's replacement. I know Cirjak was a fans favourite but I have not came here to warm the bench I am going to force my way into the first team and stay there

I am happy to have signed this exciting youngster and I can now say that unless another good ENGLISHMAN becomes available I will not be going into the transfer market again.
Williams is looking good! The only thing that worries me it's his determination. But it was a cheap deal and worths the risk! :)
AAN Williams might well be good but I am hoping so because I have made a huge saving in buying someone that COULD become even better than Cirjak

First Day Of The Premier League Preview


The Top Clash this weekend in the McDonald's Premier League is League Champions Arsenal take on Champions League Holders Manchester City at The Emirates Stadium. Arsenal have spent £50m on players whereas Man City have spent £49m on 3 players which includes stealing Ashley Cox off me from Liverpool for £21m.

Newly Promoted Derby take on Newly Promoted Leeds United in a fierce match between two bitter rivals at Pride Park.

And the other big match is Spurs, with 39 year old Hugo Lloris still in goal traveling to The City Ground to take on us.

The rest of the fixtures are Chelsea vs Swansea City, Man Utd vs MK Dons, Southampton vs Blackburn, Stoke City vs Fulham, West Brom vs Barnsley and Bolton vs Watford.

I think we have a serious chance of beating Spurs. We destroyed them both times last season both times last season but they were able to still sneak one, we did beat them 4-2 in the return in the league though. Spurs have won 9 of the head to heads since 2014/15 season, We have won 3 and there has been 3 draws it will be interesting.

The pundits have gone for (using retired people from in game):

Forest to win 2-1.
Forest have bought well over the summer and with Champions League football also on offer for them they will want to start better than the last two season.

Spurs to edge it 1-0
Antonio Cirjak's departure will be tough to handle and I don't think they have got in a sufficient replacement in my view in Adam Williams

Theo Walcott

Forest to win 2-0
Adam Williams is going to be a star and I think he will show that here. Ante Rebic and Zulu are still there so is Allione this is a awesome side still and they have too much for Spurs.

Shaw Returns To English Football


[URL=https://imageshack.com/i/5jqu1wj][/URL]

Luke Shaw had a debut to remember by scoring in Nottingham Forest's 2-0 McDonald's Premier Division victory over Spurs. He put in a Man Of The Match performance and showed his credentials as he opened the scoring by netting an effort from some way out which curled past the goalkeeper and went in off the post.
The defender player well and was relentless in defence, even managing to get up the other end and score a goal. Shaw gave us the lead with that shot. The left back's impressive timing of the Challenge was very much evident in this impressive display. It was his first game back in England for 5 years when he was a Manchester City player.

Adam Williams, Denis Fastellini, Pablo German Avalo and Giacorno Congia also made debuts for us with Williams opening his account in his first game. Adam, who has been signed to replaced Antonio Cirjak looks a good piece of bisiness for us.

Awesome Month For The Reds


So lets start with the first things first and that is the Champion's League Playoff against Benfica of Portugal.
[/URL]
Estadio De Luz will play host to the first leg in Portugal
We played the first match infront of 65.347 people and gave a very good account of ourselves. Morgan Thomas and Damir Gajski were our star men as we began life without Antonio Cirjak. We went close 3 times in the first half when Gajski played through Nightingale, one on one but fluffed his shot. Benfica were very dangerous on the break and has a wonderful record at home but Nightingale played through Williams, a new signing at The City Ground but it was a fluffed shot again. Then Thomas who had been good all first half headed against the bar from a Allione corner. I told them at half time they can come out with a win or if we were going to draw make it a scoring draw.

We took a corner on the 69th minute and it was hammered home but by Aleluia into his own net and we had the goal we deserved. With time running out Benfica were dominating and they got the goal they deserved from a free kick through Zagurskas to finish 1-1 and I was very happy we had an advantage.

The second leg was a totally different story. Benfica are usually good away from home but we never let them settle and when Thomas headed home a Gajski free kick on the 13th minute we were I hoped on our way to the Champion's League group stages. Luke Shaw and Zulu went close after but it was a Shaw cross on the 39th minute that Gajski, unmarked said 'thank you very much and made it 2-0. I told them at half time not to let it go down hill and finish them off!
That they did too when new signing Adam Williams showed he could well be the answer to Cirjaks departure when he smashed home on the 61st minute. we had won 3-0 and gone through to the group stages 4-1 aggregate winners. The Champion's League draw will be described later.

Now we already know what happened in the Spurs match so there are only two matches to talk you through and each of them saw 5 goals. The Blackburn match we started like a train and were 2-0 up at half time. The first goal was a sublime volley by Angel Correa on the 6th minute. Allione sped down the right wing and drilled a early cross in for the rushing Correa to volley home. Rodriguez scored a trademark headed goal from a corner. They got 2 goals back though in the second half through Petrovic and Walsh but we were not going ot be denied and Fastellini hit a 20 yard screamer that no keeper in the world would have kept out.

[/URL]

The Villa match was different because Villa sped out of the box and Fernandez and Shongwe had them 2-0 up in just 9 minutes but when Jedvaj scored a headed goal from a Fastellini free kick just before half time I challenged my team to go and grab a big, big victory and they did. Thomas scored from another Allione corner and then Rodriguez connected with super sub wonderkid Hatib Kinteh's cross to give us an extraordinary victory and keep us played 3 won 3.

We are joint top with Manchester United, Barnsley and Derby have had good starts and Villa, Swansea and Blackburn are all pointless with Fulham.

Capital One Cup

Trust us to be drawn against fucking Lescott again. I am glad he decided he was not going to sign Gajski, Jedvaj, Cirjak and I beat him to Luke Shaw because who the hell would want to play for that idiot?

Champion's League Draw

A.C Milan
Shakhtar
Olympiakos
Nottingham Forest

We have landed a very hard, tough group here. Shakhtar and A.C Milan are Champion's League regulars and Olympiakos are always tough to play at home but I am confident we can get through.

Fixtures to play this month

[/URL]
Well the highlight is playing Leeds and Stoke isn't it? Errr no haha! I can not wait for A.C Milan to see exactly what the Away Changing Rooms look like. If we can get 3 points from the first two Group F Champion's League Group F matches I will be happy. The Premier League Matches we should win though.

Player Of The Month

I am now going to announce a player of the month for the club each month and this month it is Morgan Thomas.
[URL=https://imageshack.com/i/5hfirpp]

Thomas has been brilliant at Centre Back this month with average rating of 7.8 and he has scored a couple of goals too!
What a start mate! Congrats! The CL group isn't the hardest posible, so you may snatch a second place tehre!
AAN Thanks I am hoping for 2nd

Transfer Deadline Signing Moves Into The City Ground


Ross Barkley Signs 3 Year Deal


Today I have made a deadline Day swoop for Former, Everton and Manchester City midfielder Ross Barkley. Paying £9,000,000
[URL=https://imageshack.com/i/5ewr7zj]

Barkley is now a Forest player

City legend Ross Barkley is one of world football's global superstars. He scored on his England debut against Japan in May 2014 and he has gone on to make 70 appearances for the National team and scored 25 goals for them in the process.

Barkley started his career at Everton in 2010/2011 and broke into the first team in 2011. He went on to make 109 league appearances scoring 31 goals for the club. During this time he also spent time on loan at Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United, making a combined total of 17 league appearances and scored 4 goals.

Barkleys England team lifted the European U17 Championship on 2010. In July 2017 he made the decision to join Manchester City for £27,500,000 and made 220 league appearances and scored 67 goals. During his time with Manchester City and England, Barkley's team lifted the English Community Shield in 2024, won the Capital One Cup in 2018 and 2025, won the European Super Cup in 2018 and 2020, won the Europa League in 2020, won the Champion's League in 2025, won the World Cup in 2022 and won the Barclays Premier League in 2024.

Ross has also earned recognition from the footballing community for his achievements and been shortlisted for the World Golden Ball on 5 occasions, claimed third in the World Cup best player and finished third in the World player of the year on two occasions.

I can also confirm that Nicolas Acosta has left the club for Udinese for £6,500,000. It brings a disappointing spell to the end at The City Ground. I had high hopes when he joined but Adam Smith has kept him out and Nicolas said I want to thank Nottingham Forest for the time I spent there and I hope they do the business in the Champions League

Cirjak left Forest for Barcelona

Nottingham Forest made no hesitation in reinvesting that money by signing Full Back Luke Shaw for £22,500,000 from FC Bayern Munich. Manchester United saw midfielder Ivan Jelicic leave the Premier League and join league champion's Real Madrid for a fee beleived to be close to £21,000,000.

Jelicic has moved away from the Premier League

Centre-back Pablo German Avalo joined Forest from Europa LEague holders Lyon in a £29,500,000 deal. Midfielder Amadou Coubibaly left Chelsea and the McDonald's Premier League in order to sign for French League Champion's Paris Saint-Germain in a deal believed to be worth £26,500,000.

It was a massive transfer window and some absolutely awesome signings.
Interesting transfers mate, I think you know better what is the best for your team! Btw, a great start of season. Keep it up! :)
