Transfer fee sounds about right when compared to what they got for Gayle. Do they have a fantastic scouting network or are incredibly lucky in acquiring future young talent that nobody else has spotted ?

Reporting £5m upfront will rise to £8 million!!! Fair play to Pboro they always get unbelievable prices for average players

Let's face it, we just can't compete financially with these parachute payment teams. . . . . . . . and Forest it seems.

Forest chairman Al Hasawi recently raised concerns about meeting FFP and therefore sold two promising kids to Newcastle for about 8 million. A couple of days later he blows that money on two new signings despite losing 17 million last year.

Quite. On the face of it NFFC made this possible courtesy of their loan back deal with Newcastle. They get those two decent young players for another season, don't have to pay their wages and receive £7m into the bargain, which they now use to sign two further players. I guess this is the sort of creative arrangement that clubs will be obliged to consider in order to comply with FFP, assuming it is legit.

Their Chairman gains some kudos with the fans and puts an early marker on Pearce too.

Pity we couldn't loan Ulloa back for the season, on top of the £8m that LCFC paid us......
