I mentioned that a while back and got shot down for expecting way too much

Was linked to Rangers but they just strengthened Center mid, also been linked to WBA. Is a good player but didn't rip up trees last year in a team were at a similar level to us.

If he wants guaranteed minutes I'd say we are a good fit

It's obviously Andrew Driver, ready made replacement in case Julian Gray ever leaves.

As long term targets which Robins may be talking about as they would probably be loaned in and are in the designated positions which is clear needs improvement

Forest fans loved him

'My player of the season': Forest fans praise James Garner after loan spell - Planet Football

While Manchester United's James Garner only spent a few months on loan at Nottingham Forest, he clearly made a huge impression on their fans.

Would be a great signing. I imagine half the Championship would be interested though.

Yeah saw that, he could go to any number of bigger Champ teams than us. I will say start of last season he joined Watford and struggled to get a game. United obviously weren't happy and pulled him back before sending him to a rank average Forest side. I suppose there is hope that they just want him to get game time. would say we play some of the more fluid football in that lower tier of champ teams so would be a good fit

Been trying to find the link from last year before he went to Watford. It was reported either at our end or the United end that he was very close to coming here.

I don’t remember that, we were with a few other clubs linked but don’t think it was close

This was the link. Doesn't explicitly say we were one of the teams who a loan deal fell through but mentions us in the article

Exclusive: Why James Garner has not left Man United on loan yet

Man Utd want to send the young midfielder out on loan for the season with several Championship clubs interested in Garner.

The one that really got me was Joe Cole.

It was the shittiest, boring, predictable one that used to surface every year. When it actually happened it was genuinely about 15 years in the making.

I was disappointed we didn’t get a fee or sell on but he wanted to be the main man and we had just spent big on Chaplin.

He was always superior to the likes of Biamou and Bakayoko
