Well its official guys

Highly rated by Newcastle fans, experienced in this league, a different option to what we have.
Newcastle paid £3.5m less than a year ago.

If we are prepared to say £2m for his goals and contribution to assisting the young 'uns, then I'm happy with that.

You could argue he is a better finisher than Britt, and more of a threat on set pieces.

£2m quid isnt a huge outlay, his age makes him a perfect foil for Brereton and Cummings, he wont be demanding to play every week and will be happy with a cameo support role. You could imagine him starting maybe 20+ games next season, whilst being a different option from the bench. He'll also offer an experienced head in the dressing room as our two main strikers are now very young. I do hope the rumor of Cameron Jerome coming in isnt true, now he would a complete waste of cash!!!!

Not sure about Jerome he is certainly not worth the 5-6 million asking price being touted but last 2 seasons in the championship he has scored 18 and 16 goals respectively which isnt too bad but of course no guarantee he can reproduce that form

To be fair to Jerome, he is probably a player you a appreciate more when he is at your club.

Jerome isn't bad but that price tag should be out of Forest's range. Happier with Murphy at £2m as he is well prove at Championship level and is a little different to the strikers already at the club. I can see him being a super sub in a similar, but hopefully more consistent manner, way as Darius Henderson.

Will that's exactly what I thought, we don't want another Henderson! Think he's much better than that anyway. Definitely not a better finisher than Britt though!!!

Henderson would have been a Forest hero like Osborn if he had tucked that penalty away v Derby!

I been watching some of his goals for Ipswich and he is a danger on both feet in and outside the box, plus great with his head.

Hope you're right! Just felt that Britt was one of those natural strikers. Saying that, Murphy is much better in the air and has two feet
