Our Iberians

Tend to agree with this, probably more than one flash of brilliance every 3 games, more like 3 brilliant passes every game but then he is totally anonymous for the rest of it and as has been said would like to see him do a 90 min performance. We want him to dictate play, be at the heart of every forward move.

Are we being too harsh, we are obsessed with his price tag but forget he is only 22?
The other point is do you want to replace him with an Osborn type who runs non stop, at the expense of that one moment that opens a defence? To be honest that one moment is why I go to football matches.

Im as conflicted as everyone else I think!

Good summary.

I rate him, but think 13m was way too much, and that he should have been 4-6m at most.

But that's irrelavant now. At 22 he's still got bags of time to grow, and he's also a player who'll suit the Prem way more than the hustle & bustle of this league.

The key thing is finding him a position. The role AK had planned for him isn't the one we have planned now.

They both need a bit of time in the side.  Nurturing them along.  Sometimes, they'll need pulling out the side.  Both Cash and Worrall have been through the young player pain barrier.  Osborn had to do that.  Car' has the potential to be a match winner and that one pass may lead to that goal.  If he does that, he's done his job in many ways.  But he's got competition from Silva now.  And that is a 'GOOD THING' (TM.)

Get them (Car' and Yates) fully fit and manage them into the side.  I think they'll come good.  At the worst, being on the subs bench for Forest isn't a total disaster for them or Forest.

SA.

Agreed, although I will say this, I don't think Silva is a replacement for carva, and that we need more creativity in the squad attacking-wise too. A winger or someone like Ollie Watkins could prob fill the role.

The hard part is that Carva has to go through that with a 13m price tag. Which is gonna be harder for him as folk will, rightly, expect more.

This is where recruitment has to curb it's niavity. Loans & record money buys won't get the leniency that homegrown talent cost £0 will. Development on our own, cost-free players is a given. Development on players for other clubs or ones which cost plenty is a harder sell.
