Comments on: Memories of glory, and a reality check.. http://nffcblog.com/2009/05/30/memories-of-glory-and-a-reality-check/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

The man infuriates me! I respond to his weekly newspaper blog asking him as to what he actually does for Forest. He's never responded...

He's been released by Burnley, and fair enough he didn't play that much last season, but from what I've seen in seasons past he is a very accomplished and experienced midfielder with a decent amount of creativity, whether that be on the left or in the middle. Worth a trial surely? Again not sure why we don't offer Graeme Murty a trial, he is a classy fb, and if he has sufficiently recovered from his injury than he would be a great addition. Worth a trial surely? If Spurs are having this alleged clearout, than maybe we should go and show some serious ambition and try and nab Gareth Bale as well as Gunter. May think wishful thinking but if we are to splash the cash then they're available. Personally don't think we'd need another fb for about 10yrs if we could pull off that coup. Ok maybe wishful thinking, sorry! Would really like to see Ched Evans at the CG, if he is available at around the 2m, then probably would prove to be a bargain. Truly is a coincidence that I seem to be mentioning Welsh players, I'm actually Irish! Think Mills will be coming as long as we don't try to cheapskate the Donny chairman. Interesting times, but some definite news would be nice. Really would like to see Alan Mahon come to us.

Looking forward to hearing a few positive rumours. Guess this could be an ‘interesting’ week for the Reds, although remember that the Transfer window doesn’t officially re-open until 1st July!

If we take Mills from Donny, they have to find a replacement before they will let him go,and I´m sure thats the case with most of the players we are bidding for. I am quietly optomistic that we will have a good squad in place before pre season. I´m sure you are right Ryan.

Don't think I'm moaning, just eagerly anticipating the prospect of our team having some excellent new players who can drive us forward!

Hopefully he'll keep the chequebook out long enough to actually do sign somebody, time is ticking.... No panic, YET!

Lets hope Rob Jones and the other players we want all give their bloody agents a hard time so they can come here . Nice to see Gunter prefers Forest to Newcastle.
