I'd still like him in, even if we get Fryup and Lars Von Dutchname. Unless I've completely forgotten one, Our lineup is or will shortly be:
Cox
Lars Thingy
Fryatt
Djebbour's Untapped potential
The Ghost of Blackstock
So, you know - let's have Wilson to make the equivalent of four and a bit strikers... then we can get youngsters in to cover when needed. If Cox cost 2.5 million, this kid's worth three.

From us? Surprised, club said he's not a target.
Also coventry said we've not been in contact:

Club said he wasn't a target when they thought Veldwijk was signing?

It's all about mid-table...
Any player hitches or bollox from the agents then we should move onto the next target.
There's plenty of footballers good enough for this poor Second Division.

But plenty of prick agents, too. Unfortunately, dealing with agents is a neccessary evil.

I've got a feeling Forest should buy him still, even at £3m. Even if we buy him and don't go up immediately we'll still have him for a number of seasons unless any club wants to pay more than we paid in the first place (assuming he signs a decent contract and also that he's well worth a place in the team and would be a star player - maybe too easy to use Youtube to judge that but it seems like he would wheras if we're lucky I'm thinking Fryatt and the Dutch lad could be worth a place in the team although it's not inconceivable with our midfield that they could fire us to promotion).
If all the lesser fees spent on players that haven't been enough to win promotion are added up it amounts to a lot. I feel like this could be an opportunity to get a talented striker in and it could end up paying off. I know Pearce has scouted him though - if he is interested I don't think £3m should put him off although of course it's Fawaz's money (he has been prepared to spend though and would have bought Austin for more last season).

I agree too he does look good. I don't know what bournemouth offered but coventry are obviously in serious financial doo-doo so I don't think they will hold out for long.

We could offer use of the City Ground for any home cup ties they get this season. It's about as close as Northampton's stadium and much bigger.

A good shout to a degree and we probably could of offered for the entire season but we are merely tenants and that would need approval from Rushcliffe council who aren't exactly forthcoming when it comes to working with NFFC.

What do they actually use the Ricoh for these days? Is it really just sitting empty?

We're not tenants, we own the ground. The council owns the land it's built on IIRC. They have no say over anything. Don't know the details but I presume it's a 1000 year leasehold or something.

It's a centre for business entertainment and sport with a hotel.?

It's the City Council that own the ground http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-18852686

Try A Little Tenderness
The city council owns the freehold of the CG. The club is several years into a 60-year lease, and owns all of the structures built on it.
The club owns the freehold of the Trent Pool site (the old training ground) and now leases it as a training facility to Nottm RFC. The value of that land is restricted due to its status as a flood area.
Intriguingly, one small - and very important - area of land the club also owns the freehold of is at the entrance to the Bridgford/Clough Stand car parks. Being a main point of access, that was a shrewd acquisition by Nigel Doughty as it clearly restricts the city council from selling the freehold of the main site without the approval of the club.
