Great signing. Missed him in the last few games.
I agree, good player. Has pace and knows how to get stuck in!
Excellent bit of business, expected him to go to Spain.

That's two right backs now let's get a couple of decent left backs.

When did we last sign one full back, let alone two in one day?
Things are looking up!
Thought this was about jose reyes
All though bad news for you Tu, I hope you can take some solace that this is indeed, excellent news for us
Two right-backs in 24 hrs? So does this mean Lichaj will be on the left, moving Cohen back into midfield?
I do take an interest in Nottm Forest, I lived there for quite a while. I was on the match threads on here when we just missed out on the play-offs
D'you guys seriously think we can go for promotion next year?
Too early to tell, we need a few more decent signings yet, maybe another 4-5 faces (and an effing 20 a season forward!). Hopefully Fawaz will back the manager and we'll see the right players come in.
What happened to Billy Sharp?
I think he's waiting to see if he has any future at Southampton, and it'll probably be next month before we hear any more about him.

Maybe just one would do us. Cohen,Jara and Lichaj can all play/cover the left back slot.
Jara has played a few games as left back for Chile.
I didn't think we would get Jara as Spanish teams were reportedly in for him.
So, right back is sorted. We have enough cover on that side. Hutch won't be coming back. Too injury prone.
Central defender next to replace Ward. A winger (or two) and we will be set up.
Roll on the first game
It's official!! See OS:

Shaping up nicely. Jara is quite nippy so should give us options going forward down the right too.
One year deal. Strange one.
I'm glad we've managed to get him. I was impressed with him. Thought he had his heart set on going to Spain so credit to us for persuading him we were the right move.
Suppose the one year deal is so he can have a crack at getting to the prem and if not go play in Spain. Not ideal but fair.
Nothing strange vidal.
As sutton says, he was rumored to be off to Spain. He enjoyed it with the famous team last year and wants a full season at it. Leaves his options open if he wants to move on.
Didn't expect him to sign for us, so it's a bonus to have him on board
1 year deal probably suits both parties........IF we were to go up we may look for better and if we were to stay in the Championship then he may do the same.
Vidal - not so long ago you were mocking that Ward, Jara and Sharp didn't want to come. Well, there's nothing to suggest Ward turned us down, I think it's more likely we didn't want him and Jara is now here. What will you do if Sharp signs too??
"Do"? Not much. I rate Sharp and if you sign him I think you have a very good player. I was very surprised how little he featured last season after Davies took over. I reserve the right to gently mock from time to time, it's all in fun. I am delighted at the Return of the Comedy Chilean and hope it can be made into a film. 1-year deals are pretty unusual though. It means he can't be sold for a fee and if he is any good he has Forest completely over a barrel when it comes to a new contract. I guess your best hope is that he is useless and then you won't lose out too much.
Yesterday you told us "Jara won't come to Forest".
I don't think there's any huge worry behind a one year deal, if he does well he may, in all likelihood, go. Good for him and at least we'll have had the benefit of having him here. If he doesn't play ahead of Lichaj then we've not wasted money on a bench warmer.
I imagine the board are wary of long contracts after Dexter's 4 year monster. Lichaj is only on a two year deal too, maybe that'll be more normal now bugdets are so tight, squads will be more flexible with teams wanting to be able to get rid of dead wood.
