🔴 TALKING POINTS | FOUR BIG FOREST QUESTIONS! EPISODE THREE23. Sept.1 Std. 32 Min.

Talking Points returns as we step away from the match-by-match reaction and get stuck into four bigger questions surrounding Nottingham Forest.

James McAtee has been handed a new role at the heart of the Forest midfield — but is it genuinely working? Are we seeing the emergence of Forest’s answer to Elliot Anderson, or are we putting too much responsibility on McAtee because the club never really replaced him?

Then there’s Oliver Glasner. He has arrived with a very definite system and way of playing — so why is that being received so differently to Ange Postecoglou attempting to impose his philosophy a year ago? Should a manager mould players into his system, or build his system around the players he actually has?

We’ll also put Forest’s summer recruitment under the microscope. Was this finally a more controlled and intelligent transfer window, or did the criticism of Forest’s previous spending contribute to an overcorrection that left the squad short in one crucial area?

And finally… Morgan Gibbs-White and £125 MILLION?💰

If Tottenham really did come calling with that sort of money in January, when does an offer simply become too big to refuse? Would keeping MGW demonstrate ambition — or could £125m reinvested across the squad actually make Nottingham Forest stronger?

🎙️ Greg Oram and Richard Spray are joined by Rads and Andy Haywood for four questions guaranteed to divide opinion.

💬 And we want YOUR answers. Which way do you fall on each of the four Talking Points?

🔴 McAtee: midfield solution or makeshift Anderson replacement?

⚙️ Glasner: adapt the players to the system or the system to the players?

💷 Recruitment: sensible restraint or one signing short?

💰 MGW: would you turn down £125m?
