Win win win situation. Forest get an excellent right back. We get a very good fee for academy product. Neco gets full-time premiership football, especially in a World Cup season (which, for Wales, doesn’t come around often). Good luck, Neco!

Romano saying we inserted a 15% sell-on clause.

Good deal all round. 17 mill may seem a hefty fee, but he’s a young, talented, home grown player, already a regular full international. Forest coach already knows him too, he knows what he’s getting, a talented player who will now have benefitted from a few seasons of training with fantastic coaches and team at Liverpool.

Neco needs to play regularly now, and he goes to a club with a very good coach who should help him push on. Reckon he can be a cracking signing for them. And with a sell on clause inserted, even better for Liverpool too, if he reaches those levels, LFC will get another chunk added to an already very good fee.

Neco was always a player who needed a year somewhere else to pick up that defensive nous he lacked and it looks like the Fulham loan was a real success. The first full season in the Premier League for a promoted team will probably be tough but fully expect him to come good in the long term.

Cooper plays wingbacks so it's a good fit for Neco as his defensive game needs a lot of improvement. Sounds like the fee is potentially up to £17mil.

Forest clearly aren't messing around with their intents at staying up judging by the money spent so far.

Good luck to the lad

Wish him well, joining up with a decent manager and a team with lots of potential.

It will be interesting to see how they cope with the return to the big league.

I've been critical of what I perceived as bullshit fees that Chelsea and City have got from selling, but £17m for Neco Williams is crazy money. To be honest, if I was a fan of a team that didn't like us, I'd have a degree of suspicion about it. But assuming it is as good as they're making it out, it's fantastic business by the club.

Either way, good luck to the player - not good enough for the level we've gotten to, but definitely a PL player and always had a good attitude.

Too good not to play regularly and it would require an injury to TAA for him to have a chance here so probably sensible because he is too good to sit on any bench at the age he is now. We have 2 more than capable back ups for that position (one young, another with the flexibility to cover anywhere across the back) so we take the money and use it elswhere.

Yeah, I'll be interested to see how he gets on, certainly he's got the ability to be a really good signing for them. Good luck to him.

Good deal all round. All the best Neco.

What is there to be suspicious about? That the club has inflated it?

Outright misreporting of fees is something easily debunked - that said, I could see some clubs agreeing a 45m deal which is only 5 or 10m up front and the rest based on difficult to achieve targets and just briefing the potential fee although even that I think they would get caught out on

55m for Brewster,Hoever & Wiliams is crazy

we have even better youngsters in Bradley,Gordon,Doak coming through as well. If they dont make it can make a good profit.
Van Den Berg another one who should get decent money for

I guess this thread should be with the former players now, but just saw he got a nasty broken jaw today. Hope he’s on the mend soon

it was in the game vs Brighton.

Looked bad! He is out for the rest of the season.

Better news than I thought,I heard break and imagined it was his leg.

Zizou · « **Reply #1017 on:** April 30, 2023, 12:34:00 am »

Broken jaw sounds fucking miserable. Get well soon Neco.

From a joke and a laugh with Jurgen after our match to now this.

Get well soon Neco.

He'll be okay, broken jaws are nothing to us Welsh.

Thought he and Divock were among their two best yesterday. He always plays well whenever I see him play and yesterday was no exception.

I wonder if he might have even headed that ball to Darwin away had it not been at the end of the match and Neco didn't already have 99 minutes on his legs. He didn't get much vertical leap, but it might also be that Nunez has some serious hops too.

well done him. POTM. Good to see an academy graduate becoming decent pre RB

SamLad · « **Reply #1026 on:** March 5, 2024, 05:29:00 am »

well done to the lad. hope his career flourishes and lasts a long time.

always liked Neco. great attitude and engine, very good with and without the ball. I think he is just a little bit short for an ideal RB, though.
