Blackstock Signs - Official.

Nottingham Forest have ended their search for a striker by swooping for Queens Park Rangers forward Dexter Blackstock.

The 22 year old has been on Forest's radar for some weeks but hopes of clinching a loan deal for him looked to be fading.

But only hours before today's closing of the loan window Forest man Billy Davies got his man.

Blackstock has signed for the remainder of the season and Rangers have no recall on the player in that time.

Forest have also agreed an undisclosed loan fee with the Londoners.

Blackstock signed for Rangers from Southampton in a £2.75m deal in August 2006.

The former England under-21 striker has scored 32 goals in 94 starts during his time at Loftus Road.

Blackstock started his career with Oxford, where he was born, but joined Southampton before making his debut.

So happy about this.

There might be hope yet!

Is that it for loans now?

WELL DONE!

Hope he can get us the goals for us to stay up! For those that have seen a lot of him, do think he is a good in the air and ideal fit for the target man role?

With an undisclosed fee agreed with QPR, does that mean he will only sign if we stay up?

Good News! Hope he does the buisness.

Fair play to Doughty and Arthur, they backed the manager to add to the squad.

BILLY Davies today predicted Dexter Blackstock will score crucial goals for Nottingham Forest, after landing the striker on loan.

The Reds today agreed a last-ditch deal with QPR to bring Blackstock to the City Ground until the end of the season.

It is believed the two clubs have also agreed a potential future fee for the 22-year-old, if he impresses – and helps to keep Forest up in the final six games.

"I'm sure he will prove to be a great acquisition," said manager Davies.

"It is no secret that we have been looking for a certain type of striker and Dexter fits the bill.

"Dexter is a player we have had great interest in for several seasons, he has all the attributes of a top striker.

"Most importantly he scores goals, but he has also got presence and good movement in his play.

"In addition to scoring goals himself I am sure he will provide plenty of openings for others."

Blackstock has scored 12 goals for QPR this season, but has been stalling over the offer of a new contract.

It had seemed unlikely that the player would join Forest before the summer, with Blackstock concerned about the prospect of the Reds losing their fight against relegation and QPR unwilling to let him move unless a permanent move was agreed.

Its good how they opted for the "no recall" for this deal - also shows the ambition of the board to pay a loan fee too.

I seem to remember that McSheffrey can be recalled at any point after the ?first 28 days.

Good news indeed, now just to put the cherry on the cake a decent centre half ;D

I have a feeling that with Tyson and Earnshaw,Garner fit as well as Anderson etc fit this may well see McSheffrey head back.

Just got this text from my QPR supporting housemate.

He says it is unbelievable as he is their best striker.

McSheffery hasn't impressed my at all since he has been here. I think he has certainly had the time to acquire his match fitness, but I still see him as nothing more than a bench player, slow and lethargic in his passing, shooting and general play.

I do rate McSheffrey as a player, but seeing as how we can only field a certain amount of loan players at a time, I wouldn't be surprised if Barnsley was to be his last game for the club.

If everyone is fully fit for the Barnsley game, then we have a great chance of winning the game, and first time we've had a full squad in a while!

I rated him very highly, but so far he has been a touch of the pace, albeit coming back from injury and wanting to get fitness.

I just thought he would be a better overall player, especially playnig for Birmingham and regarded as a good player for them.
