Join Barry Glendenning for the buildup to another weekend of top-flight action, plus the latest transfer window news
Nottingham Forest have confirmed the signing of Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolves on a five-year deal. The newly-promoted club will pay an initial fee of £25m, plus up to £17m in potential add-ons.For all his excellent qualities as a manager, Eddie Howe has an absolutely dismal record against Manchester City. During his time at Bournemouth and Newcastle, Howe has sent teams out to face City on 12 occasions and all have returned to the dressing-room beaten … by an aggregate score of 39-5.
In nine matches under Howe against the traditional Big Six in the second half of last season, Newcastle won one, drew one and lost seven. If they are to break into the cabal, as some suggest they might with their Saudi backing, they will have to do much better in this campaign.Photograph: Serena Taylor/Newcastle United/Getty ImagesNottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper insists an “exciting challenge” lies ahead after his newly promoted club’s well-documented summer trolley dash.
“Quite rightly I get asked every week by people about the amount of players coming in and I completely understand that. It’s the right question to ask,” said Cooper. “But we had no alternative. It was inevitable. We were getting prepared for it for a long while and we’re still in that process. All we can do is keep trying to build layers day by day, in the way that we work and behave.”
