Transfer speculation round up..

Of course, bugger all has happened in terms of actually signing anyone, but we are apparently trialling a French defender by the name of Abdelhazzi Kamara.  He has apparently had interest from both Premiership and Championship clubs, but the lure of first team football is thought to be enough to sway him in our favour.   Aside from that, I know little about him - even Soccerbase doesn’t seem to list him!

We’ve also been linked with midfielder Barry Cogan from Barnet - he joined them from Millwall at the start of this season, and has apparently impressed since then.  Once again, that’s about all I know about him - but certainly a midfielder has been high up on many people’s priority list - but let’s face it, we’ve been linked with all manner of people since the middle of December!

In non-Forest transfer news, Andy Keogh has moved from Scunthorpe United to Wolves for £600k - any news of our rivals being weakened is good, and whilst it would unfairly belittle Scunny to suggest there’s nothing more to them than Sharp and Keogh, those two players are pretty key for them.  With a bit of luck someone will make an offer they can’t refuse for Billy Sharp as well!

As we enter the last week of the window, we should start to see some activity - there will be much irritation and anger if nothing happens.  To return to Forest briefly, the rather dodgy rumours linking Jack Lester to Gillingham peaked my interest - I’ve seen Neil Harris, Scott Dobie, Nicky Southall and now Jack linked with a move to Kent, I wonder whether I’m reading too much in to it or whether there could be some truth in us perhaps trying to find a player-exchange deal for a certain member of the Gills squad?

    yeah, that kamara sounds like a good player, blackburn have shown interest so if i were forest, get him on loan this week and give him a chance to establish himself as a first-team player. I also think that there could be something fishy going on with Jack Lester, he played well at Swansea but albeit, if he is involved in a possible part-exchange deal for Matty Jarvis, I will take that anyday!

    I’m really ambivalent about Jack, on the one hand he can make a difference in a game, on the other he has poor discipline (off the pitch too, if rumours are to be believed), and he’s hardly one for the future.

    And you’ve said his name now! That means we won’t get him! :lol:

    yeah, i post some crap on football-rumours.com now, i’ll laugh if it gets through, half of it is crap and one rumour is similar to half the other ones (Forest set to sign Zidane lol)

    I’ve heard about the Barry Cogan story, he is exactly the sort of player we require. Barnet probably need the cash, so may sell for a reasonable fee.
