English media said Nottingham Forest plans to splash 100 million pounds of reinforcements in the summer window, the reporter: this money in the
England Premier Soccer League
not much
LIVE, June 7 - The Times reports today that Nottingham Forest are planning to splash £100m on reinforcements this summer, with Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope their initial target.
Nicky Bandini, soccer correspondent for the Guardian and ESPN, spoke about the story today when he was a guest on the Sky Sports News program, saying, "It's almost a funny number - £100 million. The figure sounds incredibly huge and just happens to be a round number, but you'll find £100 million in the
England Premier Soccer League
Can't buy much in the league. The story actually says £75m to £100m, with Newcastle buying two players for £70m in the January transfer window. They say Nottingham Forest are buying Nick Pope, who will cost £40m."
"I think you do need to spend this money now in order to participate in the
England Premier Soccer League
League, so £100m isn't as much or as surprising as it sounds."
"Nottingham Forest have ambitious owners who talk about big things and want bigger things. The first goal of any promoted team is to
relegate
, to do that is a real challenge and you don't see clubs challenging for European qualification as soon as they get promoted. Manager Steve Cooper has a tough job on his hands, some clubs just have secret and huge magic and if you buy a lot of players you can spoil that magic."
"But from the Championship to the
England Premier Soccer League
The gaps in the league are real and you have to be honest and look at the gaps in your squad and maybe you need a new goalkeeper and a new winger."
