The policy of signing Nottingham born palyers has really impressed me and Best and Francis would be good signings in my opinion. =D Leon Best is indeed going on holidays with quite a few of the Forest team, they are going to Aya Napia.

Thats a lot of dough for a journeyman striker. And the fact he's buggered off on holiday before signing smacks of arrogance. And where exactly will he play in Colins 4-5-1 system? I rate Tys way ahead, especially the way he finished what has been a difficult season for him. It's good that ND is prepared to lay out that kind of money, but I think we should concentrate on making sure Clingan, Tyson and Commons all re-sign first. Then maybe go for Beckford, or even Mclean (P'boro). Still, what do I know...I have been calling for CCs head most of the season! I’m not at all convinced about Earnshaw. £2.5 million?

Nice idea Ayls :) Keith, chill - Commons ain’t going to use that road to the deflated Rams, who want’s to join the worst team in Premiership history!! and joint worst team ever in a football league - there’s 1 other team I heared who only won once in a season.

Any more news on Kris Commons going in the other direction up the Brian Clough Way? I’ve heard the rumour but suspect Earnie will feel blessed by an escape to Norwich or Cardiff.

I'd quite like us to continue the policy of bringing the promising youngsters through and signing Nottingham born players. Rumour has it that Leon Best is in Marbella with half the forest team - if only Cov would agree to let him 'come home' to Forest! We also need a right back and Simon Francis (Southend) born in West Bridgford would fit that bill. There’s something that doesn’t sit right about us signing a D*rby reject.
