Apparently they were prepared to sell him to us last year but he opted for Lincoln as he wanted to prove himself and get in to the Forest team. I don't think he had much of an impact after returning in Jan so they could be prepared to offload him and he may be more willing for a perm deal at a Champ club.Clubs rarely loan to the same division unless it’s to get a player off their books so it’s a no goer really
I say this with absolutely no evidence to back it up. But I suspect Robins wouldn't go for him now. Once bitten, twice shy and all that.Apparently they were prepared to sell him to us last year but he opted for Lincoln as he wanted to prove himself and get in to the Forest team.

May well be the case, I'm just disagreeing with the point about Forest not wanting to let him out.I say this with absolutely no evidence to back it up. But I suspect Robins wouldn't go for him now. Once bitten, twice shy and all that.
Well if he’s not good enough to get in Forests team he definitely won’t be good enough for ours.Friend who’s a Forest season ticket holder doesn’t think he’s good enough to get in their team. Suppose it depends if we see ourselves competing with the likes of Forest.
What are you talking about now? Forest finished 7th..all of their players would get into our sideWell if he’s not good enough to get in Forests team he definitely won’t be good enough for ours.

I must confess to not having seen much of him playing, and accept that Forest will have different ambitions to ourselves. However, they’ve had plenty of time to watch him and the fact they’ve decided he’s not good enough for them in the champ makes me feel we should be cautious.I wouldn’t be considering that we’d compete with them in our first season back, no. That said, he’s the right profile of player to develop for a couple more seasons in the hope of challenging up the right end in seasons to come. The kid is clearly a goal scorer.

That’s not to say he definitely won’t make it at that level (and in Robins we trust) but there seems to be a belief developing that now we are in the championship we just need to buy some young kids, play them a bit and sell them for megabucks. The only person I know who has watched him play much, thinks he won’t make that level.
So I’m firmly on the fence over this one! Besides, he turned us down once so he can get fucked.
Not sure Forest themselves have decided he’s surplus, but my mate has and he knows more than their entire coaching staff, in the same way that we all know more than RobinsHave they necessarily decided he’s not good enough? Haven’t seen much talk about him leaving them (aside from this, of course). Merely suggesting that he’s a good age, seems to have got good numbers when he has been given a chance and there’s only one year remaining on his contract. Ticks a lot of boxes for the type of player we’re looking for - let’s be honest, if he were to get 10-12 goals in his first season that’d be a reasonable success.
Well that's the next headline in the CT sorted.Walker would be a fantastic signing and is a good suggestion. Those disagreeing clearly don't understand the budget we have to work to. Only 3 players scored 20+ goals in the championship last season, we can't compete with teams like Forest and Brentford when it comes to signing proven championship goal scorers so we're going to have to take gambles on younger lads who may or may not hit 10+ goals next year.
Not a bad suggestion actually. One year remaining on his contract and performed in L2 and L1 in the last two seasons, didn’t really get an opportunity back at Forest last season. If he could be picked up for a reasonable fee I think it’d be a good move.
Oi @Moff !Now can we play the game of which is his other account? I'm going for Northern wisdom or schmeee
Yep would 100% take him on a free. No brainer.I notice Scott Fraser (formerly of Burton) is still without a club. Would anyone take him? Is he a significant enough upgrade on what we have?

I would suggest that the lack of awareness others can share a (not exactly minority) view, and that I am perfectly capable of making my own argument without assistance from, well... myself, lends creedance to the thought that my earlier statement was not an insult, more an observationThere's only one Northern Wisdom! Never to be confused with other posters... and definitely not the one that was mentioned
Third hand info. Walker, Sheaf in, and one other I’m not naming who I heard it was seeing is believing as they say. As I said just repeating third hand info
