Take it or leave it offers....

[henrypoocakes]

From Vital Forest......hmmmm.....we'll see....

We understand that offers are on the table to bring in Matt Mills (Doncaster Rovers £1.5m), Paul McKenna (Preston £800,000), Daniel Fox (Coventry £1.5m), Dexter Blackstock (QPR £1.6m) and Shaun Barker (Blackpool £600,000). All of those bids are for less than what the selling club values them at, but it's the best offer they're going to get in the current climate, if NFFC are correct.

Wasn't it said that we had already bid £2 million for Mills?? We won't get all 5 so who will we get? or who do we want? Mckenna is the most important i think. Although we do need one full backs at least.

 

[henrypoocakes]

i think the quote from Donny chairman "was in order of" £2m. Out of that lot I would rather have a c/b - whoever is the best out of mills or barker...(i've seen neither play)

 

[winnits]

Currently comparable, but Barker is mature and Mills is young with more room to develop.

 

[andyred]

Didn't this same site claim we had already signed a few of these players a few weeks back?

 

[Eastwood Red]

I would take Barker or Mills (or even both!). Both are quality centre backs which we need.

 

[Moi]

Is Nikola Jerkan (Not sure on spelling) still about the leg end.... Another great shit player. In todays climate he'd be cheap.... If anyone can Jerkan

i thought barker was a right back?

 

[thetfordred]

i thought barker was a right back?

he's been converted to a centre half.

he's been converted to a centre half.

The other way round I think. He was a centreback and converted to right back at Blackpool.

At our home game he was just back from injury and started at right back, but due to a first half injury to their centreback he went into the middle and basically shut us out. Good organiser.

VitalForest is a lie. It isn't vital at all. OptionalForest would be more honest.

Pre-acceptance when we're trying to tap the player up we always quote the including add-ons figure to the press though. Club after club seem to get annoyed by it, saying the add-ons are just ridiculous. I just never know what to believe!

Both would do fine, let's have every position covered and everyone fighting for their place.

 

[winnits]

I would certainly welcome either or both

It claimed Blackstock and McKenna had been signed. And Andrew Surnam was 'as good as a Forest player'. :

To be fair, though, they've been right about a few other things, e.g. Victor Chandler was mentioned as a potential sponsor six weeks ago.

the Victor Chandler rumour appeared on Talk Forest long before optional forest xxx

"Nottingham Forest could be in the driving seat with a cash-plus-player offer."

Hasn't Billy said no players are leaving?

 

[NEWARKREDS!]

it says cash plus play so look like a fee and then topped up with appearances!

It doesn't say Cash + Player.

It says Cash + Play.


So potentially a few lump sums based on appearances.

That's generally the case with most transfers now though. Will be important to Blackpool though to know they will be guaranteed more money and know that at least he will be playing, not just sitting on the bench

Why would they be bothered whether he was playing OR sitting on the bench.

If theres an appearances based payment then they'd care....
