Latest tweet from Paul Taylor says: Lars Veldwijk will not be completing a move to #nffc today... he has gone back to Holland to mull over the transfer to the City Ground.
Better offers then?? ...... my guess is he won't be coming
Sorry, I appear to have jinxed this deal!!
If he is a bit of a ditherer, is he what Forest need?
More details here: http://www.nottinghampost.com/Lars-Veldwijk-s-Nottingham-Forest-hold-striker/story-21211462-detail/story.html
Could be another offer, could want to talk it over with his family. Not that bothered if he doesn't come, rather we went for Wilson.
Sounds like someone's bene in his agents ear! Better off keeping these deals tight and say nothing until they've signed!! Hewont be coming now by looks of it
Hmm not sure what to make if this. Maybe another club has made a late bid. It is a good opportunity for him, but I honestly think we could do better for £2.5mill. I'd prefer someone with a proven record in this country (Wilson, Derbyshire, Becchio) or even in Scotland (how old is Kris Boyd?)
The word on the street is Leicester are now in for him Red4 as we took Fryatt (who they were looking at)
If that is the case then it boils down to regular games for us, or another £5G to sit on their bench.
If he would rather go there just for the money, then I will be happy to let him go. I'd rather have someone who wants to play football and is greedy for goals not money
Isn't this a bit like the last time we tried to buy a Dutch player?
Yes, the Verhoek debacle...
I wonder if the story regarding the transfer was leaked from the Dutch end as I can't see it being in Forest's interests as the buying club to announce they were signing him before the deal was done?
Anyway, as a Div Two side, Forest have to take what they can get. Hope they don't hang around too long waiting for an answer from him.
Chipperfield has just tweeted that Brian Eastick says there are just two small issues to iron out and they expect to complete the transfer within 24 hours. Let's see.
Brilliant, looks a good prospect
Would be nice to have a less stressful transfer window for once! Hope the lad gets some good advice and sees that he needs to board the Pearce Express!
Just a few small issues to sort out, apparently. Fee and wages have been agreed so it looks like something out of Forest's control. Should happen or be called off today. Glad they have put a time limit on things.
Hmmm......still no news. Hopefully they'll get this sorted soon so we can move on if he's not coming.
Maybe he will be unveiled tomorrow along with the new away shirt
Maybe he will be unveiled alongside Whittingham and Pratley
Failed medical? Cheque lost in the post? Fawaz lost his log-in details?

Whittingham, pratley and Bertrand triple swoop.
Talking of triple swoops how is Thorne, Bamford and wisdom going?
We're trying to sign a player who doesn't want to play for us. Derby are failing to sign a player who does want to sign for them. Looks like both will end in failure.
