    Wasn’t it looking like he was going Stoke instead? Hopefully anyway as the bloke is another sick note that we don’t need. Don’t know why we keep going after them.
    Because we are not loaded.

    Who was the other Forest player we were linked with yesterday? Said double swoop, can't find the screen shot. It was a right winger.

    Such a nathan jones signing 
    That’s the one from 2 weeks back I was hinting at and said I wouldn’t be buzzing about 
    Going to stoke isn’t he?

    We've moved really quickly to get TB. I wonder if we've paid Forest a hefty loan fee to jump ahead of the queue - some of the money earmarked for JRS?

    Still not confirmed...

    We need to stop getting ahead of ourselves!

    Zach Abbott - Though he's a defender

    Short and not so sweet quote from NJ. Basically, 'see ya'.

    Can we wait for a better source than "Football League World" before the wrist slitting commences please?
    Someone like Alan Nixon. Then I will be worried.

    Yeah that's hardly a glowing endorsement from NJ!

    We were on the verge of splashing £5m on Rak Sakyi. We’ve brought in a prem loan CB. The money is obviously still there for a RW and surely it’s in the clubs best interests to go for one that might cost a few quid as opposed to someone possibly on loan that we’ll struggle to get 15 games out of. The fascination with injury ridden ex Luton players needs to stop if we actually want to evolve. Might not be loaded as such but we evidently do have a bit of money to splash otherwise we wouldn’t have been so close to getting JRS.

    So my views on all the options for RW as they appear (until JRS goes somewhere else I will keep him in this list):

    - McCowatt (probably the one I can imagine being steady and reliable based on nothing but gut feel - can imagine him being solid enough)
    - JRS (still feels like he has the highest ceiling by far, would unite the fanbase, but would we be at risk of the second-time-around scenario where he ultimately disappoints?)
    - Ogbene (the cheap option which feels like a stop gap - lack of fitness in recent years.... you fear we have been here many times before)
    - Tyrese Shade (ironically can imagine him doing ok for us.... or whoever else he goes to in the champ. Seems to have good strength, pace and can certainly wrap his food around the ball when shooting to Martin Sandgaard levels).
    Prem Loan or free agent (would prefer someone like Reiss Nelson to Ogbene - same scenario of a lack of recent game time, but Nelson would have a higher ceiling).

    If JRS doesnt end up going anywhere on a perm due to these issues, then I would be more comfortable on a loan to see if he does indeed hit the heights we are hoping. But sure someone would take the punt - so in that case I would probably veer towards McCowatt.

    OR EVEN BETTER.....

    Prem free agent / loan AND get Holsgrove in.

    Wrapping his food around the ball!?
    would that become a meatball?😜

    Gut feeling only but I still think JRS will happen.

    Bindon needs to get on the blower to his Kiwi mate McCowatt and get him here I reckon.

    I do wonder if Reyes Cleary or Solly March are on our list of potential targets.

    I am getting more and more anxious regarding all this Daniel Kanu talk. No contract offer? A loan rather than a sale with a very good sell on? Nowhere near the squad or team?
    Yeah, nowhere near the team yet seriously how much of a gulf, given our present circumstances, is there between his obvious competitors? An ageing and fragile Godden, an enigmatic uncertain and injured Kelman, is Daniel Kanu really way behind those two?
    I don't know what's actually going on or the factors to consider, but it would be good if this all played out in a dignified and all round successful way.

    To be fair they've actually got something right for once. 

    He was a name given to me after the JRS deal collapsed but still appears he’s off to Stoke.

    We’ve got three. What difference would it be if we added a fourth?

    Why would everyone be so against us having TWO Irish wingers? My girlfriend might even pay attention to us if so

    My guess is he'll go to Wimbledon, we won't get what we want up front but the sell ons will be heavily loaded in our favour
