August 04, 2025 DOUGLAS LUIZ SCOUTING REPORT | THE PERFECT SIGNING FOR NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Nottingham Forest have been strongly linked with Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz by the Italian media (but not the English one). With that in mind we speak to our regular Aston Villa correspondent Steve Farmer about what the former Villa star would offer if he were to sign from the Serie A giants.

We discuss his style of play, best position, set pieces and if there are any questions over his character. #nffc #nottinghamforest

August 02, 2025 ISSUES TO TACKLE AS FOREST CAN'T SCORE | YUNUS MUSAH VERDICT | MATT TURNER SHUNNED BY LYON
Nottingham Forest were beaten 1-0 by Birmingham City in a pre-season friendly in honour of Trevor Francis, the first £1m footballer, scorer of the winning goal in the 1979 European Cup final and a legend of both clubs. Forest have now failed to score in four out of five games this summer as we look at what went wrong against the Championship side.
Matt Davies is joined by Greg Mitchell and Chief in Chicago to discuss the game in full and Matt Turner's exit to Lyon, who failed to acknowledge the transfer they tried to stop before sending him out on loan to New England Revolution. We also get Chief's thoughts on AC Milan and USA midfielder Yunus Musah as well as Harry Toffolo's reported move to Charlotte in the MLS. #nffc #nottinghamforest
