I'm actually finding all this pretty amusing for a change.
Yesterday, a Cardiff fan I know from another forum linked one of their forums and a thread.
The thread was about the embargo.
Cardiff believe they need £2m to get this lifted.
And we've offered £2m...
Doughty did say in the interview on Forest Player that they were looking at a couple of top end championship players to sign and a couple of premier league players to come in on loan - although i might have just imagined that, will go and watch the video againQuote:

no i actually said it would make them look stupid if it was announced today, i never said we wouldnt announce it because of this! ;D
So hes signed, like shorey and pratley. What on earth are people moaning about...we'll walk this league :D
dude, you say that, but is it really ture.Quote:

you hear forest are interested, who have a documented need for a LB, so you hike your price knowing forest to be 'wealthy'
but as we know, forest are no mugs in transfers anymore, and offer a bid way under your request.
this makes you get pissy and not want to sell, as the value you came up with (which you plucked out of the sky) suddenly becomes very important to you.
then there is the issue of the players agent telling him he should stay in London for many reasons...
I know there's been alot of shit this summer, may I add not of it from me.
Shorey is still a big possiblity no Prem clubs in for him yet, but Whitts is different, I honestly think they will announce him tomorrow in the new Forest shirt, I say friday latest because Cardiff need the cash to compete on the weekend with there new players.
He's signed, forget him, now think about whos next...
Only we havven't. We have offered £1 million. And it has been rejected.Quote:

That bid is wrong and the new bid was agreed, accept it for once and see that not everyone talks shite.
Not long to wait now ;)
The 2million fee really does make me think youve just added that bit on even if the deal has been agreed because ND isnt stupid enough to waste up to half a million pounds if he doesnt need to.He isnt a stupid man and our bid would more than likely pay for Cardiff to get out the shit...they struggling as it is to even get a squad together at the weekend so i believe Doughty would have been very astute with figures.id hazard a guess around 1.3- 1.4 million with a large ammount paid upfront.Quote:

As for names being leaked to the press by club insiders/fans and the selling clubs putting extra on the fee and agents also stirring the pot up to get the best deal for their clients, these are things that always happen nowdays and always will happen with the amount of money involved in the game now. and were not exclusive to this.
There's a vast leap in logic between the amount of money required in order for Cardiff to lift their Trasfer embargo, the speculative possibility of their actually intending to sign ANY players before the season starts, Forest possibly upping their bid, and it being Forest's bid of exactly £2 million - as opposed to ANY OTHER CLUB, for ANY OTHER player or Players - all coming together at the same time, as speculated here...Quote:

There is no evidence of any other offer from Forest. It remains pure forum talk.
it will be undisclosed anyway so i will never see and neither will you lol
like I say the proof will be in the pudding, this is my last post on the matter till you see Whitts in the Forest shirt. :) (besides the reply below ha ha)
It is hardly ever made public who we attempt to sign.Quote:

Now if only there was someone on the forum who works in the Forest shop and has recently been printing shirts ... Whittingham ... that's a lot of letters.
2 words.. George BoydQuote:

People are free to disagree with you, and people are free to agree with you.
I can just see this thread going the way many do on a forum that shall not be named.
That would be mine. I also have Shorey, Pratley and Danns shirts on their way. I'm very forward thinking like thatQuote:
