"Out goes Kalidou Koulibaly, in comes Jeremie Frimpong — your swap with Bournemouth has the fans talking. Good business, or a gamble?"
Kalidou was just a stepping stone. He only signed the paper and within 2 minutes he was out the door. Poor Kalidou must've felt like he was being human trafficked.

"Kixrxn Mc21 at Newcastle clearly fancies their chances. Do you rate them, or is it all talk?"
Well, I've been beaten every game so far so we'll just have to see

"5 assists from Igor Paixão — he's making your team tick. How key is he to how you play?"
He's been shipped to the free agent list, stinking attitude.

"The fans are split on freezing out Riyad Mahrez. Talk us through why he's been listed."
Honestly, just doesnt fit the tactic. He's a legend of the club, helped us massively in the first half of last season, but it's time to move on. Hopefully he can get some playing time elsewhere.

"Teun Koopmeiners has been frozen out and transfer-listed. He's gone public saying he wants another chance — what's your reply to him and the fans?"
Quinones has 46 goals, Otavio top asister, a big money signing in Kingsley Coman and you’re asking me about a squad player who we picked up yesterday? He knew his contract when he signed up. This is lazy journalism.

"Edin Džeko can't stop scoring — 9 and counting. What's the secret to getting the best out of him?"
The man. The myth. The legend.
I love this man.
He came into my office at the weekend and we talked about retirement.
I tried to convince him not too, but he's got his heart set.
He left the club yesterday and is on a beach in the Caribbean as we speak.
I love you Dzeko.

"The fans are singing Dušan Vlahović's name after his 19 goals. Can he keep this form going?"
At this point, I’m starting to think Dušan Vlahović has a personal rivalry with the back of the net and the net is losing badly.
Nineteen goals. NINETEEN. The poor goalkeepers are probably checking the team sheet before kick-off and quietly asking, “Is Vlahović definitely playing?” Some defenders have started marking him so closely they might as well ask him for a lift home after the match.
The fans singing his name? They’ve earned that right. Every week he’s out there turning defenders into highlight reels and making goal celebrations look like a full-time job.
But let’s not forget what this Forest team has done. Bolton came in thinking they were walking into a football match… they left looking like they’d accidentally booked a behind-the-scenes tour of the City Ground. Rangers arrived with confidence too, but we sent them home so comfortably they probably thought the final whistle was a suggestion.
We’ve been ruthless. We’ve been clinical. We’ve been the football version of someone pressing “skip cutscene” because we’re already bored of the competition.
And Vlahović? Can he keep this form going?
Absolutely. The only question is whether the ball can keep up with him because right now it looks like even the football is struggling to believe how many times it’s ending up in the net.

"Letting Salem Al Dawsari join Cardiff divided the fanbase. How do you defend the decision?"
Well you see, I spent 15 smackeroons on some Spanish kid with rapid+, so we take what we can get to limit the damage to the bank of hull city to be honest pal.
