You cannot change it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the work the boys have to do themselves. Then you saw the first assist, it just opened up and then it\u2019s football again that\u2019s how it goes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuper important and really happy for him. The situation is not always easy when Robbo is fit and today you can see again how good a player he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Evidently, if Klopp rated him, it\u2019s a good indicator that Forest would be signing a real top-level player, who just needs that bit of consistency to regain confidence. <\/p>\n<p>Liverpool only paid around \u00a311m for Tsimikas in 2020, so perhaps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nottinghamforest.news\/club\/owner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Evangelos Marinakis<\/a> could negotiate a similar fee, which would be excellent value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nottingham Forest are exploring a number of deals this summer transfer window.
