Lewis Grabban

With regard to Grabban, #nffc are having to be very patient... but patience often pays off, doesn't it? Forest still the most likely destination. Just a tiny bit more patience...

[Widdow]

Sure he is in bag

Seems a lot of hassle though for a hit and miss players whose value will only drop (And isn't good enough for the Premier League)

[bostonred]

Shows how far we have come in a short space of time that so many fans are turning their noses up at grabban. We aren't in the premier league, if he does the business and fires us up I'm sure he wouldn't be our first choice forward next season but he will have done his job.

I remember when we have been linked with him in past (as the chap always seems available) and many fans turned noses up then as well.

As someone said, if Karanka wants him, then so be it, its his maracas on the line.

Sure he will do a job, but he is hit and miss - lets just hope if he signs permanent with us, he will give it his all. Read too many times he looks like he cant be arsed. Perhaps he has a languid style. I will say looking at his goals last season, he did come alive in six yard box, and that is what we have been crying out for since Britt left.

Same season he scored 22 in the championship Murphy scored 27 goals and people are dismissing Murphy. He scored something like 13 goals in league 1 the year before in 47 appearances

As widdow said he is hit and miss. If he joins he will get my full support.

I'm looking forward to seeing this one officially announced, but I can't help feeling that we should be signing Marriott also.

He has been in Nottingham last few days but his agent playing games

Murphy is 35 though and seemingly injury plagued now

Yeah, well, only got him for another 2 years!!

Crazy signing for that length of contract

[Strawberry Avenger]

Didn`t somebody mention about a Wednesday deadline for this to happen?

Yes, we asked for an answer by Weds.

Agent is stalling

Hmm.

It's about getting there.  In the Premier League.

Some signings will be progressive and might be able to play in the Premier.  Others may not make the step up.  Some players may be signed just to 'get us there' and will serve that purpose.

He has been castigated for not really wanting to play for us. I wonder how much of this is down to the agent? I can imagine he asked his agent to get the best deal he could. Do we know for a fact that he’s even spoken to Birmingham? With harry redknapp’s splurge last season, could they even afford him ?

More smoke and mirrors than anything else, methinks.

Out of the targets Forest have been linked with in Grabban, Bamford and Waghorn.  'Goals' in terms of their record is a rather recent phenomena.  Having looked at all three on Wikipedia for their goal scoring stats, I'm somewhat bemused.  But players mature and at the age of mid 20s, 28 or 30 (their ages?) you'd expect them to be maturing and coming into some kind of goal scoring form for the Championship.

Strikers can be hit and miss.  Britt has allegedly had a 'bust up' with Pullis (now there is a surprise...) and it is probably to do with overall contribution.  ie.  Hard work.  It doesn't always work out.  (Chemistry, how you get on with team mates and a manager you may or not get on with or who understands you and your play.  Or a manager that puts you on the wing when you're a striker etc.  The System you play in.)  

That can...That can be the same for any player though.  Birtles went to United and it didn't happen for him.  But for Forest?  History speaks for itself.
