what does evryone think about clint hiil and jay boteroid from QPR THOUGHTS ED {Ed034's Note - hill is too slow and we should be looking at better. bothroyd is awful. I have a work colleague who is a Wednesday fan and he says his work ethic, attitude and touch is terrible

Agree with ed tbh we should be looking at much better than them

19 May 2013 14:46:39
good game brentford and yeovil town today I just wonder which name will be first to pop up as a rumour for forest, we have had just about everybody else,

Madden maybe, or maybe we'll take a pair if players then throw one away later.

Forrester from brentford? young, skillful, bags of pontential and a good name

Dreading us playing Yeovil tbh

We'll hammer them

19 May 2013 11:16:41
Unsure over the contract situation of Ashley Cole at Chelsea but as they are rumoured to be looking at Luke Shaw from Southampton could we not make a cheeky attempt to lure Ryan Bertrand on a season long loan? Quality!! {Ed034's Note - if he goes out on loan it'll be to a prem side. would love him back though

Bertrand is first choice when cole isn't playing

19 May 2013 09:18:42
Any news on Lewis ed? {Ed034's Note - he has gone away and is mulling things over. will make a decision when he comes back on whether he wants to sit down with us and discuss or whether he will move on and talk to others

18 May 2013 18:38:27
Just spotted the new Aberdeen kit, I wonder if ours will look like this?
I think I like it?

I hope not, it looks like garbage

18 May 2013 17:11:17
Ian Harte for lb anyone

I was thinking the same myself

No thanks, we could do better.

18 May 2013 15:56:05
We need to ign Nakhi wells

Iv just said that to my mrs. Defo need him at forest.

Well, did your mrs. agree?

18 May 2013 14:06:06
Please people only post a rumour if it has some kind of foundation of truth your ruining this site with your constant lies RedRon

But some posts are just banter and fun- its easy to tell which posts are true or have real backing-the poster writes FACT at the end of the post :-)

I think it should be super ed who make the rules {Ed034's Note - have you missed a t off?? didn't realise super ted was a forest fan, but I agree with you 100%

From now on I won't accept any rumour, even the ones that say 'fact' in them or 'from someone ITK' unless its signed off with Super Ted

Pat

First signing to be announced monday- super ted (dy) Sheringham coming back to nffc on a coach, big executive 52 seater! fact and i'm idk that's 'i don't know' not just a typo. :-)

Ultra Dog here with the latest transfer news.

We are going to raid Wolves QPR and Dundee.

I think we all know who the players are but as everyone know's people in the know are not allowed to speak about a source or the actual players their after

;) INK. I mean Itk

U keep tellin em how to enjoy this site 2tone! ha ha ha
all good fun

Don't think many deals are going to be done yet a lot of player/managers are on holiday or will be.

18 May 2013 13:51:58
Just seen that EvensBlake has been realised by wolves. Half decent Goal record, maybe worth a punt? {Ed034's Note - he is out for a few months with a bad injury

17 May 2013 21:28:04
Not a rumour but I would be happy to see forest sign Alex baptiste (cb) and Elliot ward (cb) matt green) and jon Taylor (rm) all on free contracts.

17 May 2013 20:19:18
He him back as a coach so I can sing "Bennett knock em out, Bennett Bennett knock em out" ahha

17 May 2013 20:18:11
some of the shirts on the forest sightings page look pretty good, photoshoped probably, but wouldn't complain about any of them for next year

Have to agree. Especially the home and away shirts with the soft drink sponsor.

Sako will not leave Wolves as they don't need money due to the £15mil parachute payment {Ed034's Note - if sako has any ambition, he'll leave

15 mill is peanuts for a club of that size with ex prem players.

Remember what our squad looked like in league one? We lost 12 mill that year and had nothing to show for it.

WBA in pole position to sign him. I would then go after Dorrans who was told in Jan that he was free to leave before injuries at WBA meant he featured in the 1st team more than was planned. Sako will be a prem player so we shoud forget him.

Forget him? that's right you show some ambition there mate

Pat

Ambition? Fact is you can't compete with Prem and wages offered so be realistic eh Pat.

17 May 2013 19:24:53
is everyone ready for all the bigg sell out home games at wigan this season all5000 of them ha froset will bring good following and show them all up

wot u think ed {Ed034's Note - we take good following everywhere pal.

17 May 2013 15:44:46
The Wolves quartet are not expected to be the only departures, though, with several of the club's more high-profile names expected to leave Molineux this summer, including the likes of Kevin Doyle, Roger Johnson and Bakary Sako

All 3 Please!.

17 May 2013 15:42:52
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Stephen Hunt and Christophe Berra have been released by Wolves following the club's slide into League One

Need to start raiding wolves.

Ebanks-Black would be IDEAL! {Ed034's Note - he is out for a few months

How do you raid a club for a player that's been released?

17 May 2013 12:39:38
hi ed I think the new forest shirt will either look like top to on forest sighting but the new byern munich home shirt is smart
{Ed034's Note - I cannot add links on mate, but I am sure people will be able to find it if they want

17 May 2013 13:59:32
ebanks blake has been released from wolves. bet there's a few championship clubs looking at him and wouldn't be surprised if we were one of them

Would like to think that we look at him and berra also as he would certainly add something to the squad

Pat

17 May 2013 13:39:04
Its nice to see rule changes coming in. If watford don't go up what are they going to do when their 15 loanees go back to parent clubs and they won't be able to get them all back. I've heard they could play at power league lol ;)

17 May 2013 12:41:38
Don't if this has any bearing on anything, but yesterday Mr A Al-Hasawil became amember of the board for NFFC's parent company, NFFC Group Holdings Limited. Could this have something to do with a cash injection from the family, somthing to do with a sponsorship deal or could it mean nothing at all!

Suggestions anyone?

Someone dealt with this question on the 15th I think, have a scroll through past posts its on there somewhere (it was just legality things if I remember right)

Pat

Thank you to the family odf hawas for looking after our club jim forest fan looe cornwall

17 May 2013 11:25:33
Matty Fryatt, could be a Forest target, Hull after new striker? also forest interested i'm Mansfield goal machine Matt Green! we could get Fryatt for a snip! proven at this level!

This was good till the Mansfield bit.
No way good enough for Champ football, let Mansfield keep him because they going to need him more than we will.

Actually he is already on trial ar Birmingham, he will not be coming to Forest in any shape or form

17 May 2013 09:57:32
billy Davies trying to sign a piece of paper by the end of next week, official report from his friend biro.

17 May 2013 08:13:02
Julian Bennett available on a free this summer

Not a rumour, but I reckon he could be the perfect cover at LB, maybe not a starter anymore but couldn't hurt to have an out and out LB reserve {Ed034's Note - you've obviously not seen him play for a few years. He cannot get into a poor Wednesday team. We have Harding at back up who is a lot better than Bennett

I think the injury messed him up. Was my favourite player before it.

Sooooooooooooooooooo Glad you don't make any of our transfer decision. {Ed034's Note - lol

Calderwood ruined Bennett by bringing him back too soon

16 May 2013 23:14:34
I think Simpson, Dawson and Olofinjana are all worth a look at after being released by Hull. Maybe helguson form Cardiff as well as he's been released.

16 May 2013 22:28:03
Has Henderson signed for us or not? I hope not as I don't think he adds anything extra. We could loose by all accounts our top three goal scorers - Sharpe, McGugan and Dex now what logic is there in that?. Cox and Henderson are not a strike force that will get us near the playoffs next season but it looks like they are BDs favourites! {Ed034's Note - how can you say he doesn't add anything extra??? He adds someone who wins nearly every hill ball near him. No other striker does this and adds the option of bombarding the box

I think Henderson has been great! Proved me wrong. Gives 110%, wins just about everything, doesn`t give up, is a team player, is pretty tough and is a right handful for defenders. In short, he contributes a lot to the team in my opinion.

I agree but Dex is 26 and Hendo 31 +. Dex is too similar player although to be fair he has not set the City ground alight this season but still the third highest scorer. To have both is not necessary. Surely Hendo is in the Greening, Boateng, Harewood, Reid mould. A good squad player but not your first team choice

17 May 2013 08:02:39
Billy loves a big man. Hendo is 100X better than adebola, fitter stronger faster better with the ball and not only looks to but can bring other players into the game.
He is far better at holding the ball up than Dex
On current form i'd pick him over dex every week,
lets see what the new season brings

Henderson has impressed more than I thought he would,
How can you say Hendo and Cox can't get us near the play offs when they just have?
Not my style but you can't knock what he did for us?

Pinxton

But his touch is awful Hendo is not a great player sorry yes he's big and powerful, but no where near as god as sharp or cox give sharp the games he will score goals without a doubt, and BD needs wingers, and what's with getting everyone bk for corners really {Ed034's Note - his first touch isn't as good as cox, who I think has the best in the squad, but it is not awful.
he is a good option to throw on with twenty left

I think Henderson would be a great signiing. 31 years old is he? Worth a 1 or 2 (max) year deal perhaps. Definitely adds something extra, I like Dex, but I think Henderson is a better big man option.

Where was the fantastic cox touch on the 88th min against the foxes to put us in the playoffs. Had a touch like an elephant {Ed034's Note - are you disagreeing that he doesn't have a great first touch??? if you want we could sit down together and find clips of messi, Ronaldo, rooney, van persie and bale all messing up in similar positions

Very true. We could also sit down and watch these players scoing lots of goals or we could watch cox's goals think I have a spare few seconds. I know he works very hard for the team and I like him. Just don't agree about his touch and his goal per game tally is shocking {Ed034's Note -that is not what was being discussed though. we were talking about first touch and he has the best at the club

Great comparison. with all the respect in the world these players all scored more than 6 goals in a season. I like cox for his work rate and play off the ball. the goal of the season showed an amazing touch but I would prefer a striker to score more than 6 goals with that amount of starts.

Hendo is our new Lee Chapman we need a battering ram centre forward to mix it up and create space for the skill players

I think Dex could play off him as well as being the second target man

We need Sharp and Cox plus another top striker as Cox can play both wide and deep.

We need the wingers to get them scoring

Henderson should stay. Dex should go. End of Conversation.

Hendo is big slow over weight old not fit so you would rather have him than sharp or dexter behave deluded {Ed034's Note - people aren't saying him over then, they are saying him as well to give us options

Correctamundo Ed

Billy Sharp just tweeted that he had an enjoyable season at Forest but has 2 years left on his Southampton contract. Is that it then for Billy at the City Ground? {Ed034's Note - it reads different to how you have put it. He says to all the fave asking the only thing he knows is he has two years left on his contract and he has just spent a really enjoyable season at nottm forest.
He gets bombarded everyday with the same question. He is just saying how it is at this moment.
If bd wants him, he will sign

16 May 2013 22:22:20
Reading Billy Sharp's tweets I get the impression he's moving on {Ed034's Note - I read it as he is staying the only thing he knows got certain at the minute and that is he has two years left on his contract. He hasn't said he is signing, he hadn't said he isn't. It does read that he is leaving Southampton though

16 May 2013 21:58:25
Brighton suspended poyet and his staff for going against his contract restraints ( touting another club )

16 May 2013 21:00:16
Ed it is fun and what this site is about seeing all these rumours about different players. Do we take NFFC interested with a pinch of salt? My guess BD keeps his cards very close to his chest. He has always wanted a couple of stellar signings and it would not be unreasonable to speculate who these might be. My feeling is that there needs to be more fire power upfront as we had a poor goal difference. Since rumours are suggesting BS is to sign then with Cox and Dex another proven goal scorer and this must be Austin as I don't think Rhodes would be affordable. Then what do we do to reduce the goals at the back? Who knows whether most were from the left ( ie. Cohen weak ) or from crosses into the middle - Ward, Ayala, Collins, Halford ( Lascelles ). Many times I stood in the WB end and watched the back 4 and my choice would be Ward and Halford, with Jara demonstrating the skills of a proper back, tackling, going forward and crossing. I suspect BD may buy another centre back keeping Lascelles bench warming. One or two wingers that everyone thinks we missed this season. Anthony Knockeart cost Leciester apporx 2.5 million and he is 21. We will have to pay serious money if we want good players but who you have prefered Knockeart or cox for your 2.5 million

Martin ( Peters )

I think we need wingers before we start worrying about strikers. Cox, Hendo and blackstock will score if we bring in wingers. {Ed034's Note - I think every forest fan thinks the same

Not every forest fan, a lot think we should be signing strikers as that's the problem {Ed034's Note - so you want to sign strikers, but don't want them to get any service??? if you are saying you don't think we should bring in width, are you sure you are a forest fan??

Think you've got the wrong end of the stick. I'm saying most forest fans on here are talking about strikers. I was the one pointing out that we need width. Don't see the point in asking if I'm a forest fan. Try not to be so touchy {Ed034's Note - not being touchy and as I read 99% of all posts that are sent, I can confirm that since the start of last season all I have read is we need width.
me pointing this out is not me being touchy it is me explaining what the vast majority of fans are said on here and every fan I speak to off here
