'' NOTTINGHAM Forest are understood to be close to signing USA defender Eric Lichaj on a two-year contract.
The 24-year-old has just been released by Aston Villa, who he signed for in 2008 after coming through the ranks at Chicago Fire.
The Illinois born player, who has had successful loan spells at Lincoln, Leyton Orient and Leeds, is predominantly a right back, but is also comfortable playing on the left side of defence.
It is understood that he will have a medical at the City Ground over the next 24 hours. ''

Like the sound of this one.....a lot of Villa fans scratching their heads because they've let him go.

I'd have preferred Jara to be honest, but he will do a job and is young enough to get better.
So if the move goes through the starting eleven now looks like:
Darlow
Lichaj Halford Collins Cohen
Majewski Lansbury Guedioura Reid
Cox Henderson

Leeds fans want him back.
Not bad for a freebie.
Prem player (English Prem that is, not Scottish)
Left or right side which is an advantage too

Hopefully he will be better than our last American right back, John "Derby Reject" Harkes!

Good, and hopefully Ward will be following soon after.

makes me think that neither Jara or Hutch are coming though, which is a shame. Never seen this lad play, though, so maybe he's better anyway. Anyone seen him?

Hutch is far too injury prone, should forget about him

Maybe Billy won't take the risk on Hutch and that's a shame because he was clearly a cut above. But if he wasn't injury prone then he wouldn't be playing in the Championship would he. Jara I guess will go abroad and probably get a good deal, better than Forest will give him.
