1008 New Force

January 1, 2019.

On this day, Nottingham Forest sent someone away and welcomed a new member.

Nottingham Forest announced that 34-year-old Brazilian center back Thiago Silva was out of contract now. He would be free to join Brazil's Vasco da Gama, where he planned to end his career.

Silva left the club in the morning. In the afternoon, the team had their only one move that winter - introducing midfielder Chen Jian from the RCD Espanyol.

"Only reporters, no fans, and basically only Chinese reporters. It's not the future I've planned for you, Chen Jian." Sitting in the Ford car the club especially sent to pick them up, Xia Yang was looking at those reporters out of the window as he spoke to Chen Jian.
