Brighton probably a better long-term bet but a tricky call for Dave. Would be a real shame if he goes. One of our best performers last season

Do they know what he does?

What does he do, exactly?
I think Calde holds a massive role in whether he stays or goes.
Dave seems to speak fairly basic English, and the role Calderon holds in helping the Spanish players settle is massive. When you consider Ulloa, Orlandi, Calde, Bruno etc, and look through Forests squad and backroom staff, I think the support around him here would play a bigger part than a few extra quid every week. Added to the fact he seems to enjoy living here.

Brighton is a big pull for foreign (especially Spanish) players. Not a lot of other cities do foreign (Brazilian, Spanish, Portuguese) like Brighton.

Not seen Spanish Dave since the warm up before the second leg

And it's all gone quiet..
I'll be devastated if he goes.
Pretty sure he won't go though. How many Spaniards play for Forest?

The Argus last week suggested that we've offered him (and El-Abd) a one-year deal, which I found slightly surprising. Perhaps it's a conservative move from Bloom/Burke in light of not yet knowing the managerial situation for next season - but you'd think for a 30-year-old whose game doesn't rely on pace, he'd be worth at least a two-year deal? I'd imagine Forest will be offering him a lengthier contract, and I suppose it could come down to him weighing up that financial security with the Spanish connections and cosmopolitan lifestyle he has down here.
None, as foolg alluded to above. Very much a British-based squad (and coaching staff).

The only good thing in our favour is that Spanish Dave is on vacation at the moment in sunny Spain and a move to Nottingham would mean a colder climate than living in Brighton which could put him off.
Looked good last season after a difficult start, whilst he adjusted to the pace of the game. Provides great cover at right back......
But he did go missing in both of the play-off games.......

I'm sure an offer better than ours would warm up his pocket. Do you really think the climate would put off a transfer?

He wont leave, I just honestly cant see it - not for them anyway.
Would be a Spanish club, obviously.

It's a shame we had the crappiest longest winter EVER.
The moment we've transformed into Costa de Brighton, they have all fooked off back to the real thing.
