He was hotly tipped to join following a mixed loan spell last season – carrying an injury he initially endured what I’d politely describe as a fucking torrid time at left back, however, upon recovery he started to show much more promise and certainly made me re-evaluate my initial dim view of his abilities. £200k [...]

For six months he is, anyway. He’s gone on loan to Wednesday’s friendly opponents Rushden and Diamonds. Of course, we also play Rotherham United that day too – so who knows which game will see the first team squad travelling and which will see a team of youngsters like the Ilkeston Town friendly that took [...]

Whilst we’ve of course known about them for some time, the deals to secure the services of Paul McKenna and Chris Gunter were finalised today. McKenna signs a three year deal in a £750k move from Preston North End, Gunter signing a four year deal in a £1.75m move from Tottenham Hotspur. A huge welcome [...]

Popular former loanee Lee Camp looks set to be confirmed as our fourth signing of the season after Forest have announced that we’ve agreed an undisclosed fee with Queens Park Rangers, and terms with the player himself. Certainly speculation has been mounting for a while, particularly after Paul Smith returned to training wearing a kit [...]

Hopefully not the last time I get to use that headline – but Forest are about to post on their site that we’ve signed Anderson. The Nottingham Evening Post are suggesting for as little as £250k – which is an absolute steal! Another former loan-club Swansea were also chasing his signature. Despite having a torrid [...]

McGoldrick is a Nottingham-born lad and spent time over the river with the Magpies before [...]

Firstly, I think that Billy Davies has made the right decision in suggesting Brecks seeks his future at pastures new – he still has a bit of playing to do, and if we can’t offer him a regular starting position then he should do so elsewhere. And I imagine in doing so he’ll take the [...]

It seems to be on pretty good authority that Forest will complete the loan signing of Everton’s Iain Turner, somebody I hadn’t heard of until rumours started circulating. Reluctantly I think the ballad of Paul Smith has reached an inevitable and self-fulfilling end. A promising keeper who I still maintain was improving weaknesses in his [...]

Official texts have been confirmed from numerous people more generous than me – for once they do seem to have been the first to hear the news which is yet to appear on the Forest website! So I’m assuming it’s true, but don’t have any other official confirmation than the text received by a few [...]
