Given that we've been linked with Sheaf, Garner and Field, I don't think it's totally illogical to suggest that we could get one of those over the line. We'll have to wait and see to find out whether that will happen by the weekend though.

Agreed. I know highlights often don't tell the full picture but it's quite clear he's not comfortable at CB. He seemed to consistently play his teammates into trouble with poor judgement/poor passing, his positioning at times was suspect, and he made several mistakes that led to chances/goals.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he ended up at Villa - which would be our preferable option given they're willing to offer a transfer fee rather fee, without a player swap. With regards to Newcastle's offer I don't really Matt Ritchie as an attractive bargaining chip in a transfer deal, not for...

It's not biased at all. Within the football sphere we're held in very much high regard for bringing through young talent and elevating their careers. I've spoken to a number of ex managers and people within the industry who believe both the club and Robins are miracle workers when it comes to...

Ah another attacking midfielder....just what we need ;) He is a good player though.

There wouldn't be much sense in him staying here with Walker, Godden and Baka all clearly in front of him, and he's at the stage of his career where he needs to be playing more regularly. Even if the rumour isn't legitimate, a club like Northampton would be a good move for him.

Where's the pie gate goalkeeper from Sutton United when you need him ;)

I did think a few days ago that this could potentially turn out to be a permanent signing. The acquisition of Lyle Taylor by Forest clearly got the wheels moving on this one and with Walker out of contract at the end of the season (no option of compo due to age either) they were quite clearly...

If it's a signing for the U23s I'll be livid.

Ironically another one that has done his ACL. Was once very highly rated there though. Remember having a chat with their Commercial Director when they were relegated from the Premier League and he was lauding him to no end.

Being honest I don't think we're better yet, no. That said, I think it would've been a big ask to bring in 'better' than what we have in a number of positions. Especially considering our minimal budget. I think the main positive is that we've addressed the departures of star players last season...

Didn't know much about Ostigard before signing but I have to say I'm really excited about this one. I've mentioned in a few posts that the one area I thought we were a bit thin in terms of quality was CB and by the sounds of it, Ostigard is the real deal and certainly won't be there to make up...

I think you're missing the primary point of the post. I don't believe HDW was making reference to how good each other are as it stands. I think his point was more centred around the all too frequent occurrence of young bright talents having their careers hindered due to injury woes - and that...

I wouldn't say his comment is laughable at all. Allassani was once tipped to become the next big thing out of Palace's academy and many were confident that he would follow in the footsteps of Zaha and Moses - perhaps even exceed them. I'm sure I read when he signed that at one point in his youth...

No, Flowers...

I'm spotting a reoccurring theme in your posts of you jumping into panic mode before having a full understanding of the situation. Do you not realise the quality Garner has? He made a few Europa League appearances last season and many of the United fans actually wanted to see more of him...

Funnily enough a friend of mine who's a season ticket holder at Forest said that before Lyle Taylor was brought in, he wanted Lamouchi to play Walker up top alongside Grabban as he believes that's where he'd be most effective. We may do. But then who gets cut to make room for Walker? One of the...

I'd be surprised if Forest allowed Walker out on loan. His contract expires at the end of the season and they won't be entitled to any compensation due to his age if he decides to leave (which you can assume is likely given his position in the pecking order). I think if this rumour is true...

Not sure whether it's true or not regarding Hamer but I do have knowledge of people closely associated with the club helping the club purchase players in the past. Micky Quinn being one, and the loan fee for Adam Armstrong being the other. So certainly plausible that he may of at least made a...

Yeah I agree that Pask would probably have to be used over Sheaf (or whoever) given that CB is his natural position. But I think regardless of who starts over who, you can appreciate that collectively the experience just isn't there yet. Therefore, the point remains really. I still think...
