July 24, 2025 HOW BAD IS NOTTINGHAM FOREST'S TRANSFER WINDOW REALLY? | NKUNKU LINK | LYON SUE OVER TURNER?
Matt Davies is joined by Greg Mitchell, Mikey Clarke and Pete Blackburn to discuss the latest Nottingham Forest transfer news and the window so far as fans are divided on how badly the summer is shaping up.
Greg has definitely been in the camp that there is no reason for panic and signings will come after Anthony Elanga was sold and Morgan Gibbs-White might go too. Mikey has had the opposite view and feels Forest are way behind where they need to be, while Pete is probably somewhere in the middle.
We'll also discuss the latest transfer talk as Forest continue to pursue Dan Ndoye, while Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku is the latest ambitious name linked. We'll also look at Matt Turner's future as Lyon are reportedly ready to take legal action NOT to sign the USMNT goalkeeper. Finally, Forest are losing Ross Wilson to Newcastle according to reports. #nffc #nottinghamforest

July 19, 2025 MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE SAYS GOODBYE TO NOTTINGHAM FOREST FANS? | TAIWO AWONIYI RETURNS
Nottingham Forest drew 0-0 with Monaco in a pre-season friendly in Chesterfield on Saturday. A dull game even by friendlies standards was notable though as Morgan Gibbs-White started despite the prospect of a controversial transfer to Tottenham Hotspur as he puts the Spurs talk to one side for now. Was he saying goodbye to fans when he left the pitch as fans chanted his name? The match also saw Taiwo Awoniyi return in what must go down as a real surprise so soon after major surgery.
Matt Davies is joined by Dan Cook and Dillon Mapletoft from 7pm to reflect on the game and on the latest transfer news involving Jadon Sancho and Dan Ndoye. #nffc #nottinghamforest

July 18, 2025 DAN NDOYE TO NOTTINGHAM FOREST? | ADAM SUMMERTON SCOUTING REPORT
Nottingham Forest have been strongly linked with a move for Bologna forward Dan Ndoye with multiple sources in Italy, as well as transfers journalist Florian Plettenberg, saying he is willing to sign a five-year contract with the Reds, although Italian champions Napoli are waiting in the wings.
We spoke with TNT Sports' Serie A commentator Adam Summerton to once again give his verdict on a player linked with Forest. He is certainly excited by the prospects of the Swiss international coming to the Premier League. We also briefly touch on Danilo's departure to Botafogo. #nffc #nottinghamforest
