Nottingham Forest Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I'd also have to say that this is one of our best January transfer windows in a long time. Darius Henderson, Gonzalo Jara, Stephen McLaughlin and Elliott Ward and we're close to signing Kuwaiti keeper Khalid Al-Rashidi. Jara and Ward are both loans till the end of the season and we've been a lot more solid at the back since they've come in. They're also out of contract in the summer I think so it'd be nice to sign them permanently. McLaughlin is one for the future that we've signed from Derry City for about £200k and Henderson has joined on a six month deal for free from Millwall. We've made bids for Chris Burke(£300k), Danny Fox and George Boyd. I still feel we need another centre back and/or a left back. So if we can't get Fox, I'd like us to go after Murphy from Birmingham. I'd also like us to go back in for Burke and personally think the longer we leave it, the more chance we have of getting him for what we've currently offered. I'd also like to see us go in for Davies from Birmingham as well. We could possibly do with another Radi type player as well. We've also shifted some players out as well. Camp has gone to Norwich for free, Derbyshire has gone to Blackpool on loan for the season and Moloney has joined Bristol City on a free. We've also shifted McGoldrick on loan to Ipswich for the rest of the season which can be made permanent iirc. We've also released Robbie Findley.

Nottingham Forest Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 They signed a striker Gouffran, his only issue is hes allergic to grass Yeah they got some really good players in especially in Sissokko and Mbwia. Isn't Balotelli allergic to some of that synthetic grass? Hang on, if you're allergic to grass, how the hell can you play football? At least he won't dive .

SRL88 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah, on paper, they are soooo strong, I'll certainly be playing as them after the update, as long as they get the rating in game as they should. It just makes you wonder how they fill the home grown positions in their squad . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Someone made a bid for him the other day. Some people thought it was us. However it was Crystal Palace. Personally I don't know much about him. But if he doesn't cost an arm and a leg, so £1.5m max, then I'd be happy with him. No one knows how much our owners are worth. Some say nothing, some say they're really rich. They certainly have big plans for the club and rumours are they want to expand the main stand to roughly the same size as the Trent and Brian Clough. I'd personally like us to try and get Burke, Davies and Murphy if I am going to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Well I know that. But I mean realistically, of those four you have just mentioned, how many of them are going to play. Taylor always seems to be injured nowadays. Simpson might get on the bench along with Biggi. That's if Simpson doesn't have a mardy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 You have to have so many homegrown players in a matchday squad don't you? I'm only going off FM though. Ferguson probably won't get on the bench. Neither would Sameobi or Gosling tbh. Either way, they are struggling if it's 8 per matchday. Like I said though, I'm not 100% sure.

Not really thrown him in yet, but that's because I have alot of older options. (By older I mean players around 20-22) ---------------------------- Also, the snow won't defeat me. Went for a curry last night and in the space on an hour and 45mins taxis had stopped running. But nevermind, me and the missus walked home. Two hours it took, no problem.

Pete Townshend is my favourite guitarist, same with Jimmy Page, George Harrison and Lil' Wayne I'm more of a John Bonham fan myself, but Keith Moon . I'e had this argument, they are both great, but I really do think Keith Moon pips it. Playing a concert on horse tranquilizers has to score you some points ..

Nottingham Forest Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The thing is, they pasted us at their place before Christmas and have done so again today.

Collins doesn't deserve to be captain and should be dropped. He's quick to have a go at everyone else when it's his fault.

Nottingham Forest Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The problem is that anyone can beat anyone. We aren't clinical enough infront of goal and don't have a solid enough defence. Today we played Blackstock upfront and all we did was hoof it to him. He's average at best and doesn't deserve a new 4 and a half year deal. I just can't believe we sacked SOD. Our next 8 fixtures are against sides that are below us before todays game. However, I don't think our record against those sides has been that good.
