Squad

Nottingham Forest lose Nikola Milenković

56 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market

Rotherham United watching Ola Aina

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Nottingham Forest have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Transfer targets

Sunderland tell Nottingham Forest: Fotis Ioannidis is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Dilane Bakwa pulls a muscle — 14 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad

Esapa Osong falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Jayden Powell signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jayden Powell commits to Nottingham Forest for another 3 years.

Loan watch

Aaron Bott counts the days

“I watch every Nottingham Forest game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Newport County runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout

Nikola Milenković knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Nottingham Forest, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Ryan Yates is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Nottingham Forest has been clear about where Ryan Yates stands, which is more than many ever get.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Arnaud Kalimuendo asks to leave Nottingham Forest

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Nottingham Forest say no — this time

The offer from Reading for Nikola Milenković was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Murillo attracts admirers

The name of Murillo has come up in conversations Nottingham Forest were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market

Xaver Schlager wants more than Nottingham Forest are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Dominic Solanke

Nottingham Forest asked and Manchester City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout

No hiding place for Luca Netz

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Luca Netz, and the manager let it.

Squad

Nottingham Forest are still strangers to each other

14 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Loan watch

Tyler Bindon has seen enough of Milton Keynes Dons

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Nottingham Forest, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

A step back for Lucas Gourna-Douath at Nottingham Forest

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.
