What do you think will be the situation with Dowell in the summer Ed? I've heard the club rate him highly and his performances for Forest this season have justified that, although where would he fit into the team? With Gylfi seemingly nailing down the AM position as his own, and possibly more transfers in the summer do you think he will go back out on loan or the club will try and integrate him into the first team a lot more?

{Ed025's Note - im not really sure on dowell BB, he has done well at forest as you say but the prem is a different kettle of fish, my view is that if sam is still here he could well be sold as the AM position seems to be one of the positions we are quite well stocked for, if a new guy comes in then he might have a different opinion and be brought back and given a shot, i think he deserves a chance myself but i cant speak for how the club feel on his situation mate..

I think it would go against everything the club has been aiming for over the last 3-4 years. Investing so heavily in youth and then selling a 20yr old who is notts Forrest top scorer this season. Can’t see that happening in a million years. I’ve kind of accepted mediocrity the last couple of years with the hope of Pickford, hollgate, Kenny, Davies, lookman, Keane, Calvin Lewis, Dowell becoming stars of the future.
If any of these are sold I’d be shocked. Can’t see it happening. I hope we sign shaw from Man Utd. Future team;
Pickford
Kenny Keane hollgate shaw
Lookman Davies Dowell bollasi
Calvern- Lewis Tolson
Bench:
Until then Walcott gaeye sigi Rooney Coleman mori Baines naisse
Sell scniderlin jags Williams Robles besic.

{Ed025's Note - the idea is fine sobs, but what you must take into account is that all these chicks will not turn out to be swans mate..

I know it was only pre season but I thought Dowell was one of our best players.
Just sayin.

Plus ed. Need some experience in team to guide the youngsters. Even utds class of 92 had some older guys to help them along. (Bruce pallister McClair Hughes etc unless I am mistaken. )
Hope we can blend the youth into our first team and get rid of dead wood to move up the league and look up rather than worry about relegation.

{Ed025's Note - i cant ague with that geoff..

It is just too early to say on some of them. I would guess they will all be offered new contracts but whether they will be happy with them is another matter. If other clubs enquire and make bids. that will be the point when we see how much Unsworth and co rate them.

A lot of the Nottingham Forest fans loved KD at the start of the season but recently it seems like he has started to drift in and out of games (which he used to do often for the U23’s) .

No doubt he has got something about him but I agree with Ed25 that, unfortunately, not every highly rated youth talent we have will make it to our first team or make a lasting impression on it (See George Green, Ryan Ledson, Liam Walsh, Luke Garbutt etc) .

Chelsea do this all the time good youngsters developed on loan then sold, its a revenue stream. When you are aiming at the top 4 then you do not often have the time to slowly integrate young players into a squad that are looking to win trophies.

Dowell isn't popular with the Forrest fans.

Bad attitude.
Arrogant and disrespectful.
Lazy.
Troubles with local nightlife.
Frustrating as he is clearly talented but sounds like he's got some issues that should be a concern
Believes his own hype and isn't very nice guy from what my Forrest mates tell me.

I'd doubt he has the minerals to make our 1st team. Another young one that we will make a nice return on and will end up floating between l1 and the championship. Shame but we've seen it before. Guess that's one of the positives of a loan. We find out before we commit him to a squad number.

He is 20 years old. Scored 10 in the championship as midfielder. I don’t think his minerals are in question. I’ll think he will be a star. A bit out of form now but it’s a long tough season in championship - probs needs a rest. hopefully we can get 10-15 games out of him next season and go from there.

What more can he do. Scores for under 23’s. Scores when he goes out on loan and is clubs top scorer.
