After watching Neco Williams playing for Forest this afternoon why on earth did we allow Forest to grab him, he’s head and shoulders above Tete, big big Mistake!!

Williams having a great game man of the match even.Think the fact that scousers gave us £10 million for Elliot and Fabio but wanted £20 million for Williams could be the reason.Is he twice as good as them 2 probably not.

The same Tete that delivered the assist for Mitrovic goal against Liverpool? Really?

His dinner is bigger than mine!! God, we’ve made some fantastic signings, stop moaning!

Owen, your blinded by loyalty, Tete is dreadful, he maybe ok in the Championship, the two games he’s played so far in the Premiership he’s looked out of he’s depth, poor defending, mostly marking fresh air, distribution is poor, do you need me to go on? Not grabbing Williams was a big big mistake.

If Neco played rubbish today I think the narrative of this post would be completely different. The grass always seem greener on the other side for some people. Note that if Forest go down, they’d be the next Derby, Wednesday or Portsmouth.

John C, your completely missing the point, todays Forest game has nothing to do with subject of Neco Williams, what’s being debated is the difference in class between Tete and Williams, explain to me why Marco chose Williams over Tete last season, obviously because in his opinion Williams is the better all round player, I rest my case.

Tete and Tosin are very good squad players, and will always be good emough for the subs bench, if not playing, but I will be very surprised if they are still our number ones in their positions at the end of the transfer window. I see that Loftus Cheek is still as good as ever today ! !
I wouldn't be surprised to to see a rash of signings this week, in the forward department, if Marco has his way.

Agree JRD, Marco felt Neco was the much better player and if there was no FFP he would definitely be in a Fulham shirt right now. Which leads me to JohnC. If WE go down again, we will be in the same situation as Forest would be, probably worse, as Forest could sell and recoup some of that money, as we have blown over a hundred million and they are all gone for nothing except Anguissa. Extremely risky to spend on anything other than loans at this point going forward.

Good attacking strength average at best full back hammers crap should have won in a canter

Tete injury problems might explain why choice was made

I agree we should have signed Williams it was a no brainier he was outstanding for N F today . He can play RB RW and LB but we seem fixated on signing yet another C D when we need someone quick on the right to provide crosses for Mitro and a replacement for Carvalho .

We thought Williams was worth £10m, Forest paid £20m for him. We were right they were wrong. Over playing for players is the road to disaster.

Good point TTIN' and the road to disaster could be a burnout of teams going out of the league such as Derby who overstretched themselves. Apparently, Wolves haven't won a proper match in 12 and if i remember rightly , they spent heavily just to even get to the prem. Nuno Espirito got them here and they spent heavily and now they could be another club in danger of a free-fall back into the Championship and beyond. The same could happen to us at Fulham but maybe not, because our owners are not prepared to go fully in and throw money around again and again. We did it once and it didn't work out.

JRD if you really insist on a comparison, it should not be Neco and Tete but Neco and Mbabbe, who only played a few minutes so far.

If Williams helps Forest stay in the premiership,
and the money they will receive,20milion is a good bet. If we had held on to Cav : Elliott : Williams
what a formidable team we would have had.

Biggest mistake was not getting Steve Cooper as our coach
