Nottingham Forest transfer concerns raised as same point made again and again

Nottingham Forest have been urged against signing former Wolves defender Romain Saiss this summer.

It comes after a report that Forest are set to make a bid for the 33-year-old, who currently plays for Besiktas in the Turkish top flight. It has been suggested in Turkey that Forest could make a £3.4million offer in the coming days or weeks.

Forest supporters have made their feelings clear about a potential move for Saiss, with the same concerns rearing their head on social media. Forest have been told what they should do instead in the summer transfer market.

@Grantnffc1 : I'm not against this signing if it is true, but in an ideal world & on balance I think we need to invest in a young & athletic CB who can be bedded in. Unless Boly leaves. I like the links of Maia/Mendy/Adams for the 6.

@jwkav10 : Not a fan of the Saiss thing. With Boly/Felipe/Saiss you'd have 3 players on the wrong side of 30. Which is a bit too short-term. Johnson/Williams and Danilo move up to the 25 man squad so surely investing in a younger more athletic CB makes sense? Plus ACON too?

@JPH_84_NG : Saïss at this point in time, I'd have to say no thanks. Would have been reasonable enough last summer but we ought to be setting our sights higher now we have survived. There's the AFCON situation to bare in mind too.

@Rocky2Red : Age and AFCON are a concern. I'd rather go for someone like Bella-Kotchap, 21.

@DermodyMark : Oh no I hope not.

@MattLegg42 : No thanks.

@Puds1970 : Sorry to be critical. But given Felipe I see little sense in this, if true.
