Coppinger next for you... "Are you Donny in disguise?" Boy it looks like it, sorry but if he is flooding you with Donny players. just remember what happened to us last season

Another quality signing!

Is he a defensive midfielder?

The best a man can get I'm sorry, had to be done. Good signing, few more and we should be alright now, in the form of a winger, defender and 20+ striker.

How can anyone be pleased with a 26 year old who has made 140 appearances, at 7 different club, who was released by a relegated team in Doncaster.

Technically he is limited and he is no physical presence. League One standard.

But welcome to the city ground!

Cityground1865 nice one.

not a great signing. given the quality we have in central midfield, i can't see him getting anywhere near the team

Florist- Donny Reserves
Great signing

He can take players on and score goals, he is not big but gutsy and can win penalties, he has a hell of a shot on him, if you get him and he plays along side Gillette you will be ok, he can play out wide. A capable player and favourite of SOD. We went down but not to worry, too many big teams in Championship (not a dig) Donny never could compete financially. And so we go back, it was fun and we made friends

He actually looked quite good today against Villa. Similar style to McKenna when he was good.

Exiled, always looking for the negatives, what a prat. How about looking at the fact that he was player of the year at Donny. Do you even know why he was released? It was because they knew they couldn't keep hold of him and he wanted to stay in the Champ.

He looked decent today. Like grff said, reminded me of mckenna. We haven't got anyone like that, so hopefully he'll be a good signing

Exiled ... try getting behind the team

Just the signings so far dont inspire me.

Harding - solid full back
Collins - average CB
Halford - very average full back
Guedioura -
Gillett - not good enough

26 year old player of the season at another championship club is a great piece of business for me. Be good competition for moussi for the defensive midfield role, squads taking shape nicely, couple more wingers and a defender and we re done! Exciting times

Exiled red, you know absolutely nothing about gillet you muppet!

I think Moussa could be worth a decent punt as well. He looked sharp and lively when he came on.

posted on 4/8/12

Thing is I do and he is a very ordinary player at this level...no presence, no technique, no real pace. League One standard.

Oh and why would we want Moussa who is a Leicester reject? Made 8 appearances in 2 years for them. Contract cancelled. Nuff' said.

ExiledRed is not a Forest fan - FACT

Sick of people declaring im not a true fan because i dont rave about every signing...your a joke.

I think Guediora is a brilliant signing TBH and Harding is solid..the rest are just average. Deal with a difference in opinion.

Ok Exiled, I can see your assessments of those players make some sense, I'm not a huge fan of Halford either. However, I think we have to give players a chance before we write them off. O'Driscoll would not sign players he didn't think we're capable of doing well. Moussa sound like a good player to me. It's unfair just to look at his two years at Leicester. In fact their fans said they quite rated him. Sometimes players need a new start.

Possibly because SO'D sees his potential and ability(same for Gillett), whereas you're just talking ballcocks
