Harry Brooks - football analyst and coach - just on a Twitter space giving insight into Spence’s attributes. Says he’s been pursued for his aggression, pace and ball progression but will need to work on his crossing as he often over runs it and has to cut back - not always successfully. Said he’ll have to work hard on it.

Sounds like we want to sign Walker 2.0…
Mate, if we get a player anywhere near any version of Walker we should be very fucking grateful.

What is the chance they want more from us because we won’t agree a sell-on.

Forest £12m + 25%
Us £15m (or however much no sell on

If he goes back to Forest and does well he could easily be sold again in a year or two for a lot higher price.

He does well at us it is unlikely we would sell him unless it was for stupid money.

I looked up Spence on FM22, (did the same with Richarlison), was just curious.

Spence's stats were fucking awful. Like single digits all round apart from pace which is bad even for a championship player, doesn't mean much other than I guess it shows that he came out of nowhere last season. Found it surprising that FM scouts rated him so terribly attribute wise.

I'm guessing these are the stats prior to his breakout season with Forest?

What was his potential like? Most youngsters on FM have very low stats that will suddenly bloom if they are played regularly and trained properly.

FM is handy for checking players out but it’s not the be all and end all.

One of the reasons is because he's fast on the game which has a higher weighting than other attributes and the other probably that he's due an update on his stats, usually FM lags a few months behind on youngsters imo. I expect on the next version he will look better.
