We had a similar situation with Pinillos, £1.5m later and it wasn’t worth the risk.

Sorry, don’t mean to be negative but our record with players that have suffered from injuries is poor so it’s hard not to be pessimistic.

I think I’d definitely be hoping we signed another left back as competition/cover. Don’t want fox or Osborn as the backup. On the at article from sky someone’s posted it implied giant fav position was centre back too so if we signed another’s LB and he was really good could always play both

I'd agree with that.  Fox days as a LB are over and Osborn isn't a specialist there.  (So, for me, calling them back up is a stretch.  Fox ix a better CH and Os' is a better midfielder.  Sure, he's kind of grown into the LB role somewhat.  But he didn't get rave reviews there.)  It's just our luck that the LB Forest get in gets injured and Os' is left deputising.  That's why I hope with the quality of the squad building going on, Forest try to bring Fabio in to bring genuine depth to that position.  

But if I had a choice between Fabio and pushing for the next level DCM and securing Grabben...I'd rather have the latter.

Only a 2 year contract - club being pragmatic re injury record?

I believe there is an option for a third year.

I am hoping that since we took the doctor from West Brom that our record of signing injury prone players is over.

Hope so and that it works out for Jack. There's nothing worse than a decent player being plagued by injuries.
