As I understand it if/when Albert goes back to Forest he can't play for them again this season - meaning that he's denied the chance to play any more football, all for the sake of Forest weakening a rival in the final run in.
No wonder he is pissed off!
Bournemouth have completed the signing of the Liverpool defender Brad Smith on a four-year contract. The 22-year-old underwent a medical on Wednesday after leaving Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the United States and flying into Heathrow on Monday, after Bournemouth had a bid in the region of £4.5 million accepted over the weekend.

Smith, who can operate at full-back and on the wing, becomes the second player to swap Liverpool for the south coast inside two weeks following the club’s signing of Jordon Ibe on a four-year contract.
A 10/10 Murphy is better than an aging Adomah and maybe without fans on his back he might actually do well
He’s so hit and miss though you just never know
I forget sides and stronger feet, but remember NML in the opening few games of the promotion season? Then I think we changed it and he didn't seem as effective, I know they change in game but he was really strong down one side, proven with goals early on and it seemed to change. I might be making that up and rewriting my own history..
No, you're absolutely right and I've mentioned it myself on here previously. NML cutting in from the left was where he scored all of his goals. His only goal (that I can remember) last season was from the left too. His best performance of the season where he tormented Trent Alexander-Arnold - yep... left wing.
I made a comment to my mate on Saturday that I was shocked because he'd scored against Preston from a right-wing position.
Potentially as a wing-back but he categoraically is not a "winger" and he never has been. If, in your extensive research, you can find a single game where he's played as an attacking player of any sort, please post it here to show me up. If not, I'd give up now and save yourself further embarrassment.
Don't get the point really, he can't play against them, can't play for them if he was to return. Might weaken us a bit but they will still have to play a 2 legged semi final and final against someone.
Forest running scared - they have to play Derby, Fulham. Brizzle, Preston & Swansea on the run-in - they could quite conceivably collapse...
He cut in on to his left to score against Arsenal but other than that the goals came from when he was on the left, the tap in and penalty against United and the wonder goal at Brighton
With Adomah going I hope we get to see Mayembe reappear on the bench. Its a shame to lose Adomah but hopefully it gives more of a chance to the younger players
I was thinking we didn't have the kindest run in, but Forest's is ridiculous! Their final two fixtures are Barnsley and Stoke which are easier on paper but they'll be fighting for their lives
If they can overcome that run in the sheer belief and momentum may carry them through the playoffs
Problem for those youngsters are that these games are critical.
To play youngsters, you have to be 100% certain they'll definitely make an impact. If you're that sure, then why fail to blood them earlier?
It would take a brave manager to play youth - and if they aren't going to, why have them on the bench?
I've little doubt if we had nothing to play for we'd have seen some of the youngsters.
