Chelsea could use more defensive steel and physicality in the middle of the park, and Anderson would be a solid long-term acquisition. However, they would have to pay 100 million in order to get the deal done. They need to improve other areas of their squad as well. Spending 100 million on the midfielder might not be a wise decision. Improving the defence should be their priority instead. They need a reliable finisher as well, who can find the back of the net regularly.
Sacking three head coaches in a season does not reflect well on Nottingham Forest or their owner, Evangelos Marinakis. It is a mess of their own making, which started with the exit of their most successful manager in recent history and has the latest P45 going to the man brought in to sort out the problems created by an ill-judged appointment that lasted eight winless games.
Very frustrated, of course. Knock on the door but find a moment of clarity. It was one of those. They set their stall out early to come and defend and look for breaks," Dyche said. "It is very frustrating to dominate a game like that, with so many chances... and there were plenty of good chances, but it's finding that killer moment.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Nottingham Forest are in the final stages of negotiations with Inter Milan over a loan deal for Davide Frattesi. A potential deal is expected to include an option for the Premier League club to turn it into a permanent transfer at the end of the season. The final decision, however, will be down to the player himself.
