Ched Evans.

[It's Baggio]

"In the absence of Santa Cruz, Hughes opted against selling Felipe Caicedo and Ched Evans during the final week of the transfer window on the basis that they could provide a more physical option to the attacking quartet of Craig Bellamy, Robinho, Stephen Ireland and Shaun Wright-Phillips. Celtic, ­Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City all made offers for Evans, while Fulham wanted to take Caicedo on loan."

Would've been a super signing. Although we'd have probably been a distant 3rd in that particular race.

 

[Quinn^2]

I said about him, would have loved that.

 

[Nick.]

Ched is a very good player

 

[Anatoli]

Ched is a very good player

Would have been a good signing which is presumably why we didn't sign him - they asked for too much.

we don't sign good players , they cost too much , we only bring in players who are carrying injuries anyway , or think they are too good for us , or are plain shit.....or even a combination of the three.

So Earnshaw then, must be shit and think he's too good for us? Doesn't really make sense. We usually make really good signings, unfortunately this time it seems Marthur took the piss a bit too much

yeah , i know , i was just in a sulk ;D

Fair one mate!

 

[Tutts]

BD keen on this. Only problem is Man City have a bit of an injury crisis up front

If Forest get relegated it will all be Kaka's fault.

Would be a great signing!

 

[marshal99]

Another pie in the sky name to make people believe we are "ambitious".

 

[Dorset Red]

Show me where this is anything other than paper talk......have not seen anyone from the club talk about this so why is it something to make people believe we are 'ambitious'?

 

[Brolin]

Did the bizzo for Norwich last season, and a year older and wiser, would almost certainly do the same for us.

Would love it if we got him in.

 

[ForestNo10]

We're been linked with him again. time will tell if we can get him in on loan or not.

 

[Anatoli]

Capello said it, therefore it's true.

 

[Quinn^2]

Don't you dare leave us my friend.

Its not that bad of a place is it really ?

I take it you haven't heard anything regarding kasper and Merida coming on loan tomorow.

 

[Tutts]

Now now, the truth is, we want him. That's not to say it's gonna happen.

Have been pondering LTLF retirement to be honest - turns out I have no job breaking news in the current, post-transfer-window-loan-maybe-but-we're-inept-at-that-too period we find ourselves in

am up for the Deby game this sat though - rare appearance at the city ground (because I have a rare weekend off)

Well, you wouldn't know as much now you're coaching at Newcastle eh? :wink:

Back in the Daily Mail today:

Nottingham Forest want to sign Stoke midfielder Michael Tonge and Manchester City striker Ched Evans on loan. (Daily Mail)

 

[Gary]

Heh, never really knew 'Ched' was short for 'Chedwyn'. This guy is going to be Welsher than Earnie is!

Seriously though, I hope we get this guy in. Being 20 might not be the 'experienced' age BD is looking for, but young strikers are always at their peak earlier ;D

 

[Midland Red]

If Forest get relegated it will all be Kaka's fault.

Lol.

It's almost as though they're reading the forum.

They'll be saying "Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Paul Smith has poor distribution and makes numerous mistakes, and so the club want to replace him with Lee 'Hercules' Camp."

Seriously, though, they'd be very good signings and if you can add a defender, it'd be a great help.

 

[goatboy]

I'd sell my arse down the docks for a month of Ched Evans in the team.

 

[Timothy Pope]

I'd sell my arse down the docks for a month of Ched Evans in the team.

You'd sell your arse down the docks for 2 lumps of sugar and a bag of peanuts.

 

[goatboy]

That'd be an improvement on Garner's recent form

 

[Gary]

Humph...
