Billy talks Transfers.

[It's Baggio]

BILLY DAVIES celebrated an astonishing end to his Forest rescue act by pledging to spend big to seal glory next season.

Davies beat the odds to keep Forest in the Championship on the back of a six-game unbeaten run.

And he toasted this win by launching a £2.5million double bid for QPR’s Dexter Blackstock and Lee Camp.

Davies will also ask to take Spurs defender Chris Gunter again on a long-term loan.

He revealed: “Transfer talks have begun and I’m meeting my board next week to discuss further plans. I want two players for every position, most of them on long-term contracts including five, or even six, quality strikers.”

Davies was near despair at half-time, having seen his side fall behind against doomed Saints.

He added: “We looked like we were thinking about holidays on the beach rather than football.

“But that all changed. The players again demonstrated that, while we may be short of some things, there can be no question about whether we have the bottle for a fight.

“Don’t forget, that’s with an average age of 21.4 years — the lowest in the Championship.”

Jason Euell hit a post within 60 seconds for the visitors before Bradley Wright-Phillips coolly rolled them in front.

Sub Joe Garner volleyed Forest’s equaliser after 72 minutes and then Luke Chambers headed in Chris Cohen’s corner to make it 2-1 four minutes from time.

Rob Earnshaw grabbed his 17th goal of the season in injury-time.

Saints caretaker manager Mark Wotte said: “I’d like to stay. But we are in administration, will lose players and will start next August with a 10-point deduction. Big decisions are pending.”

Lets just hope that this is right and Nigel trusts Billy with the money to give the fans of this club the success they deserve having stuck with the team through some grim seasons.
Im looking forward to next season already i am an eternal optimist!!!!

I'm loving the sounds coming from Billy at the moment, however they are just noises so far. I'm genuinely worried that Blackstock will be nabbed by another side in the last minute. The good thing seems to be how much he has enjoyed it here. He knows what the club and fans are about and has experience of his time here. Same with the otheres, however money talks ! Whilst we may be arguably amongst the most stable financial sides in the league, our unwillingness to break the wage structure (not necassarily a bad thing) may be a weakness.

However, if Billy wants someone that bad, I'd expect him to go down on Nige to get what he wants !

Anyone notice that Dexter's son was wearing a forest Blackstock shirt on the lap of honour?

£1m for Camp would be much better spent elsewhere, like on a quality centre half for example.

You don't know it could be £2 million for Blackstock and £500,000 for Camp.This source is the sun however,definately need some news from Capello on this one.
