Another one I'd put in the gamble bag.
He was under contract at Forest until 2025, so I don't know if we've paid any fee or they've just let him go for free plus a sell on clause etc.
I'd suspect a lot of these younger type signings won't be on big wages, compared to more established L1 players. The only ones who might be on what you'd call steady L1 money will be Watt and Whitfield, maybe Sraha.

Pretty much all of the Forest fans who have commented on twitter are very supportive of him so we’ll have to wait and see really. On the surface, seems very similar to Kalinauskas - both around the same age, can play across the attack, if they are at their best very technical and lots of flair

Could be a fee or maybe some clauses in the deal

There is a pattern emerging with these signings so far where we are most definitely just signing potential. Another one with L2 experience albeit just 13 games(and no goals) so very much unproven. Think we need to bring in some more experience and L1 nous given how poor we were last season to allow us to hit the ground running rather than struggling early and then hoping these new players pull us up. I can't remember who it was who said it(might have been Terry Venables) when asked about 3, 4 or 5 years plans etc and he said they are all well and good but as a manager you can't lose sight of the fact that you have a match next Saturday to win. Looks like we are signing players to be developed and ones for the future but we don't want to risk our L1 status whilst they get up to speed.

I take it this new lad was signed last week,because in his interview there is an apology about today's awful weather,and Thursday 20 June in Winshill it's dry and warm.😀😀

Just had a quick look at this lad - this looks a proper signing! Chelsea links doing the trick

Charlie is the exact type of player we haven’t seen at the Pirelli for a few years, someone who likes to drive with the ball. I can see we’re going to a be very athletic side next season. Bring it on.

This guy looks the real deal - certainly has potential...... can use both feet, not afraid to shoot, drives forward and can hold off/beat his man, looks up/has vision, can see a pass and deliver it - even at good long range....didn't see a lot of tackling/ball winning in the highlights but we've got enough players who can do that - win the ball and give it to him - looks like he will make things happen... I know it's highlights - who knows he may go missing in the other 89 mins of the game - will probably get marked closely in League One - he'll have to learn how to deal with that, Knowing our luck someone will chop him in one of the early games and he'll be out for half the season!!! Oooops sorry - looks like the last three or four season's pessimism has not been completely expunged yet....

There are some highlights from his season in Holland but he gets sent off at the end for a decent lunge ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) haha.. Totally agree with bobgauden - the likes of the legend in my avatar and El Khayati. Charlie looks that sort of player!

Wow, the signings keep on coming, and although I have NO IDEA about what these guys are going to be like, I have bought 8 to the plan, the experiment, the strategy. I hope that we have a squad who are good enough to survive in League 1 and develop individual and collective potential to grow into a very competitive squad for the following season, or the one after. The chopping and changing each season is a bit Eddie Waring but you have got to be optimistic this season, Shirley? Let’s hope it’s a knockout one.

Tell you what...add a bit of experience now and a real goal threat and I fancy out chances of a 19th place finish!

I’d like to think we’re already a bit stronger than last season. Think about it, we’ve offloaded a bit of deadwood along the way. Joe Powell won’t be a massive loss as harsh as it sounds.
