Forest transfer rumour thread

Although it looks like he may be made available by Villa, he only signed a new contract last season so I'm sure they'd want more than £1m? I'd be overjoyed if they managed to sign him for that. Something intriguing about Irvine, though. He could really be some player by the looks of it.

1m would be crazy in this market, but, we've been pretty frugal so far.
Every time we've gone for a player we've been linked with 2-3 similar options. Gardner probably only wants to leave Villa for us, plus, it keeps his brother happy.
I'd be amazed if it's anywhere close to 3m. The fact we've paid his wages twice probably helps.

"We will have one more player coming in, still, in midfield. We want another talented, forward thinking midfield type, to go along with what we have got already,” said Warburton.
“Now we have quality in every position. We still want to add. We are in a position to announce one player in the next 24 hours and in a position to announce another over the next 48 hours.
-----------------
So the first ones obviously Darikwa, and we can expect gardener, macdonald, or Irvine...
probably gardener which could either be great or a waste.

We're apparently taking up Andreas Bouchalakis on season long loan, and isn't the player to be announced.
Went to the friendly against county and he looked tidy but fairly unchallenged if that's anything to go by.

Darikwa is in from Burnley. He is a Notts lad so happy to be back amongst his own. Hope it is an inspiration rather than a distraction as I suspect it may have been for Kelvin Wilson when he came back from Celtic. Heard mixed reports but hopefully he will give Lichaj some real competition.

Sounds like Irvines prem bound, possibly Brighton so Gary is probably our top target.
Hectors also gone to hull on a permanent.
To be fair, I'd say if we get in a CM and quality CB we'll definitely ffinish comfortably higher than last season.
Then we can look to move people on. Vlad the bad, Lica, lam maybe? And loan out more players that will never play or need more time.

Bit of a left field one. Could be decent if the performances in pre-season are anything to go by. He won't get as much time and space against better teams so it'll be interesting to see how he adapts. Was highly rated in Greece, but then so was Djebbour...

Iacovitti has gone from Forest to Forest Green on a season loan

Another chance to make an impression away from the CG. Probably unfortunate that Worrall has broken through and sidelined him a little. Needs a good showing to get him in the manager's thoughts.
