Smoulds: I’m not telling!
Smoulderwood won’t be drawn on who he will or will not be targeting in the January window - the only specifics he went into was to try to quash the rumours linking us with David Prutton from Southampton. Other than that, he wasn’t planning on giving anything away, which is both sensible and infuriating as like any football fan, I just want to know who we’re signing and when! Although until bids are accepted and contracts are agreed then I suppose even Smoulds himself doesn’t know that yet.
I do actually believe him on the Prutton thing though, some - nay, many - Forest fans have a real fetish for former-players, but Smoulders strikes me as a clean broom kind of person - he’s more likely to target players new to Forest, if not new to him in the case of players like Chambers. But well, aside from that we must be patient and wait and see - and continue to make up erm, impart further snippets of gossip and rumours.. I imagine the majority of speculative transfer posts I make will turn out to be nonsense.
