JamboAl Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 To me, Forest is very similar to Aston Villa in size and stature but are in a lower division because their ownership has been terrible the past number of years. This is likely a great move financially as well (possibly even better that $925 K a year). toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 He had stated he wanted to leave and try Europe as did Osorio. couple of things, respect to him for following his dream and turning down big money. Next up, Champ is a very good level and he’ll improve there, if the champ wasn’t behind the EPL, I feel like we’d be thrilled with this move, reality is some champ teams would easily compete in a league like the Jupiler or Everdise. 3, a few years back this was a guy who was told he wasn’t an mls player, what a ride it’s been. Amazing for him and full congrats to the man. 4, this opens the door for Kobe Franklin who’s a young RB in the academy, hopefully they look to him and new Canadian Auro to play RB, also, ZBG could be an option… gator, GasPed, Corazon and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 4 RB's on the books so I am interested to see where they are thinking about playing him. They have an ok squad but are in a decent position with a longshot at promotion, but still a shot. Just signed a decent CB in Steve Cook who was being linked to Premiership teams and are looking to poach a decent winger from Millwall (Jed Wallace). Think they will give it a go. Would be amazing if he makes his debut against Arsenal on Sunday! Edited January 6, 2022 by toontownman DeRo_Is_King and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m by no means an expert on Forest but have been to Nottingham to watch Charlton away a few times. This is a big club that he has joined and I saw they are going after Steve Cook from Bournemouth who I think is a very decent player. This may not be the year they go up but with a 46 match grind, it’s inevitable that Richie will get his chances. johnyb, toontownman, gator and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeRo_Is_King Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Like others, I think it's quite possible we see Laryea in the EPL at some point, as long as he plays well. It's rare to not notice him or his effort on the pitch. Super fun player to watch. PastPros, sebdeserio, N1ckbr0wn and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadasoccer20 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 So much to like here about this decision by Richie. First, he chose decision to sign with Nottingham to fulfill his Europe dream despite big money. Love that he followed his heart despite the offer. Secondly, a few years ago we would be thrilled we have a player playing for a good Championship club. It's a step up from MLS and at his age and playing better competition sky is the limit! Very happy for Richie. toontownman and DeRo_Is_King 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Interesting video that is included in this link - I had not seen it before and was unaware Laryea told Greg Vanney not to draft him (although Orlando ended up drafting him ahead of TFC's chance to do so anyway): https://www.tsn.ca/tfc-s-richie-laryea-to-join-english-championship-club-nottingham-forest-1.1742281 johnyb and Cheeta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedPilko Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'm thinking he's gonna play lb for Forest. They have a bunch of rb's as someone mentioned - on the other side, Gaetan Bong seems despised by most fans, and lately, they've been starting a CM out of position. It makes the most sense..

Joe MacCarthy Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thought I'd share this post that I found in a comment section when researching the Richie news.

Just did a quick look at their squad and it looks like their normal LB (or LWB) is Max Lowe, on loan from Sheffield United. He is injured but could be back in the near future. Maybe Laryea could be used as a stop gap until he’s back, but I’m hoping he just beats out the other RWBs and earns that spot in the long run. Obviously his versatility is helpful though to get him on the field in a variety of roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. Based on this source, only 23 players make more than 35k per wk, although maybe the massive salary of Danny Drinkwater really does pull the average up that much 2021-2022 Championship Player Salaries | Capology: Football Salaries & Finances Onelessstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
