Maybe they liked what they saw in Spence, but some other aspects they didn't like?They've just spent £17m on Nico Williams, who they have far less familiarity with, he's only played 484 minutes of Premier League football.
He'd barely played Championship football.
I've not seen much of Williams, but he's been back up to probably the best English Right Back/ Right Wing Back there is, when at Liverpool, not surprised he didn't get a look in, but was a starter for Fulham who absolutely battered the league.
It's still three seasons at one of the top two clubs in England, also got 20 Wales caps and played a few games in the Champions League, not bad for a 21 year old.
I'd expect he'd be a better defender than Spence (but I'm guessing here), and Forest are going to spend most of the season on the back foot.
I'd have him worth more than Spence, and would consider him less risk, but will be interesting to see how they both get on.
