WATCH OUT FELIPE'S ABOUT!

NEW Nottingham Forest recruit Felipe has warned he is bringing Diego Simeone's "warrior" spirit to the City Ground.

The 32-year-old center-half has joined Steve Cooper's (below) growing band of boys from Brazil relishing the kind of aggro that saw him spark a Champions League brawl and his sending-off after a challenge on Manchester City's Phil Foden.
