Only footy on kiwi TV is premier League stuff so only get to watch Forest on youtube clips when the dodgey NZ internet allows you. Thanks for the posting.

Am I alone in thinking Beattie and Tys up front together sound very exciting? Well done Donny. Just got to play to final whistle next sunday..... And cheerio to Matt Lockwood. I know lots of you had reservations about him, but I didnt hear you moaning when we signed him after he had just won 'left-back of the year' at the players awards...? All he needed was a good run in the team, problem for him was he got injured and Bennett took his chance. C'est la vie. Shame he's gone though, because I think he would have made a better left back in the Championship than Bennett will do. Time will tell if blood and guts defending will work against better wingers..... Shout me down, lads...! I think you’re right nickl, cash in now.

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.

The only way I can see us signing Beattie is if we unload Agogo for a few £m, cashing in on his African Cup of Nations success. If the rumours are true and we've had some interest already I'd cash in on the £125k we paid for him. It's not often we sell a player for profit, unless it's from our academy.

What a season for all of the Reds teams, from top to bottom. Well done to all, 2 promotions, 2 runner up spots, 2 titles, 1 cup & still 1 title to play for - the reserve Cup Final. You reddddddddssssssssssss!!! Just saw Forest Ladies have brought yet another piece of Silverware to the club by retaining the Nottinghamshire trophy.

I reckon carlesss Carlisle as Leeds have shown to the whole league time & time again they don't stop untill the final wistle goes. If any team drops their heads before that wistle goes you can be sure as sure that Leeds can, and most often do, punish you. It was done agan last night & 5 live said an interesting fact - only 2 teams have lost a 2-0 away advantage. Anyone knows who they are.... :) We await to find out who face Leeds for the righr to join us & Swansea in the Championship... Lucky Leeds or Carless Carlisle?

I saw him, his shiny hummer complete with spinny wheels, lights on the top etc, heading down the A38 yesterday afternoon. I do know that Derby are desperate to get-rid of him (and so are their fans), so i'm not sure what to think about it. I think we'll go for Beattie and then Earnshaw will go the blades. Cheers Hi,

He has done very well after having a number of non-performing seasons with Everton (though I think he was injured for a while at Everton). Anyway, if they managed to get him together with Ernie, we would definitely be a force to be reckoned with, at least up front. I have a few reservations about our defence, especially right back, but if we can score more than the teams we have to play, there won´t be a problem. However good Beattie may sound as a signing though, I think it a little wishful thinking. I cannot see it happening somehow. As for a new keeper, we have needed one for pretty much the whole of last season, more to keep smith on his toes than anything. 1m sounds a lot but if we do end up throwing 4m at Beattie, maybe Doughty's wallet has expanded a bit and is more willing to use it. Who knows? Like you NFFC, I shall wait until I see it in black and white on the official website before I waste any emotion on these speculations. As for Ernie, I got the impression we would speak to him when he comes back off holiday. According to the Official site, the players will start their own personal fitness training at the end of next week. If I were him, I wouldn´t be in too much of a hurry. Have an excuse to relax for a week or so longer. Keep up the great blog nffc, love it. Uuuu rreeedddsss! Indeed Beattie would be a great signing.

They won 2-0 at Brunton Park and are on their way to Wembley!!! Of course the second goal was scored in the dying seconds!!! In Greece we say for lucky bastards like them that they have a wide ass..........lol Well, Freedman’s goal did indeed put Leeds back on track… They won 2-0 at Brunton Park and are on their way to Wembley!!!

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?
