Owen Hargreaves Urges Nottingham Forest to Splash £65m on New Signing After Consecutive Defeats

🎙️ Owen Hargreaves Urges Nottingham Forest to Splash £65m on New Signing After Consecutive Defeats

Former England midfielder Owen Hargreaves has urged Nottingham Forest to make a big move in the transfer market following their recent struggles, insisting that a £65 million signing could be the difference between survival and another season of frustration.

Speaking after Forest’s back-to-back defeats, Hargreaves made it clear that his comments weren’t intended as harsh criticism of new manager Ange Postecoglou, but rather a realistic assessment of the squad’s limitations.

“It’s not a criticism, it’s just a fact,” Hargreaves said. “The manager is okay, he’s trying to put his ideas in, but Forest are short of top-quality players in certain positions. If they can bring in a £65m player of real class, it could completely transform the team.”

Forest’s new era under Postecoglou has started with mixed emotions — flashes of promise, but also worrying signs that the team lacks cutting edge at both ends of the pitch. Supporters are already voicing concerns that without further reinforcements, the Premier League campaign could become a long, painful battle.

While Hargreaves didn’t name a specific target, his message was clear: Forest must be bold in the market if they truly want to establish themselves as a top-flight force.

For now, the pressure is on the board to decide whether they will back Postecoglou with the kind of marquee signing that could turn the tide.
