    His old Forest manager has said:

    “He (WATSON) was my captain and my brain on the pitch, so just for that, ‘thank you so much’.

    “If we can do something with him, we will do it. If not, I will just say ‘all the best’, because he was a fantastic player and a fantastic captain.”

    We need a centre half and a right back ASAP , hopefully Joel Lynch And Adams Matthews. Then Im guessing , Ben Watson will come in to bolster the midfield. We need one more striker so I'm guessing that could be Rocket Ronnie, the other 2 or 3 will be Premier loans im guessing. 
    Hope we make a few more signings than those seven to be honest...

    2x RBs - One being Matthews, the other I'd happily have as an Andy Hughes type player
    1x LB - Again same as Hughes but then there is that Arsenal lad mentioned
    2x CBs - Joel Lynch and one other
    1x Striker - Ronnie Schwartz as allows Davison to go on loan
    3x CMs - Allows the likes of Vennings to focus on U23s, maybe a loan, just strengthens us there, Ben Watson will be one
    1x Winger - Maybe, if we're going to persist with playing 4-3-3
    Depends on what we do with the salary cap i guess.

    Can't see us signing 2 RB's as once we sign Matthews, we also have Barker and Deji who can cover there.
    Lynch is a CB who can also cover at LB so we may stick with him and Purrington.

    Not convinced we need 3 more CMs. That's probably the position we're most covered. If we get Watson then with Pratley, Morgan, JFC, Gilbey and Levitt that's 6 players for 3 midfield positions.

    Would expect our first choice XI to look something like this once Pearce is fit and that's even without any more signings beyond those currently rumoured.

    Amos, Matthews, Lynch, Pearce, Purrington, Pratley, Watson, Gilbey, Doughty, Washington, Schwarz. That's a strong league one team.

    CR7 is 35, wouldn’t you have him?

    With Bonne, aneke, Williams all on the bench. If we have Watson, I think we might go with Williams is oztumer and attack a bit more

    I’d like a better CB then Lynch, one who is right footed. 

    Agree on CMs, definitely don’t need another one after Watson, you missed Lapslie so we actually have 7.

    Maybe not, but what a player to have in your squad.

    Agree with that. Was saying that i don't think we'll sign another LB as Purrington is ok at this level and then Lynch (who looks likely to sign) can cover there as well. But i agree we'd need another CB.

    Yeah didn’t realise we were signing him? Just never feels right to me people who are towards the end of their career wanting to move closer to home...can work both ways and hope he does well.

    Adam Matthews next?

    Thinking of a player we desperately need to fill RB on Sunday.

    Be ideal wouldnt it... Watson can start now instead of Gilbey

    Matthews can start at Right-Back giving the Defence even more balance as felt that was the biggest issue against Doncaster

    Yeah that’s fair, Deji and Doughty both played LB too. I’d be happy with 7 defenders so think we need 4. A winger and striker with Watson would be my 7.

    We were linked with that young Arsenal left back, I'll be very surprised if Bowyer's not aiming for at least two players per position. We need balance and depth throughout the squad, not centre backs playing at full back as soon as we get an injury or suspension.

    In an ideal world yes but it depends on the salary cap. No idea how we're fixed but if things get a bit tight then having players who can cover 2 positions might be the way to go.

    Obviously having 2 decent players for each position is preferable though.
