Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Beaten to it due to craply performing broadband...

Javier de Pedro?

Q1 - what's his name? Q2 - who does he play for now?

Just had a look on a Forest forum and he's started the game for them against Lyon. I think we can put to bed the rumour that he's already signed now! Question is, are we still trying to sign him?

Forest have assigned him shirt no. 11 in their squad numbers, released today. Tends to suggest he hasn't signed yet...

Maybe AP can't be certain when a deal for Vassell could go through because Vassell himself was saying that he was hoping to have secured free agency status by tomorrow? Probably putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 but it seems to fit...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/8862696.stm Swansea are apparently looking at trying to sign Brian Stock, according to the Beeb, although they may not be able to afford him.

So has Tyson actually signed or is it dependent on other Forest targets signing first, hence AP's comments that he's hopeful of having some things done before the Plymouth game but happy to start with the squad as is, if not?

Just been snooping around a Forest forum to see if there was any news on Tyson and someone had posted that they were being linked with an ex-England international who'd had a less than successful spell abroad. Sound familiar...? Maybe we're backed off a deal for Vassell in return for them letting us have Tyson. Pure speculation on my part but stranger things have happened!

On the Forest forum they're speculating that they're going to sign Peter Whittingham tomorrow for £1.5m. Maybe this will mean they're likely to sell Tyson to us to help fund the deal?

Theo Robinson from Huddersfield? Would be a nice surprise...

Maybe we need some new wide players?

Maybe the first we'll hear is when Tyson lines up alongside Lambert against Barnet tonight!!!

Or maybe a player, with a sense of humour, (deliberately?) misleading a well-meaning individual?!

Maybe they've been able to bid £1.5m because they're expecting a sum of c. £500k imminently...?

Just had a thought! Maybe Barnard is the player being sent to Forest, in return for Tyson, and we're going to sign Vassell too. Choosing 4 from Vassell, Tyson, Connolly and Lambert wouldn't be too bad...

I was quite happy 'knowing' that Tyson was imminent but now Vassell as well?!

Now that would be news. A footballer who took time out to learn to speak to deaf people.

So Saints are to sign Ted Danson? He fulfills the criteria of combining "Dan" with "son" at the end of a surname, which is currently so popular with Pards (Dickson, Richardson &, maybe, Tyson).

Sky's transfer centre is speculating that two of the three players leaving Ipswich are Jon Stead (to Bristol C.) and Alex Bruce (to Sheff Utd), which would then leave either Garvan or Priskin as the other.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Garvan was a target for Palace for £200k, last week. Might have been the Mirror, so take with a pinch of salt!

Aah, that old "minor injury, left out of the squad" thing having been linked with a move away?!

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12875_6275719,00.html Looks like Huddersfield have missed out then...

Nathan Tyson will be signed and the headline will be "Tyson to give Saints more bite"

So, for clarity, do you want us to sign him or not?!
