Is he quick?

I certainly wouldn't read into anything with Forte going out on loan when there's 4 strikers in front of him in the pecking order. Heck, even young Ben Reeves was in-place of him on the bench more often than not.

Someone pass this onto Nigel...

So do I. Whilst I'm genuinely pleased to have Punch back on the bus, something about it screamed to me that it was because we couldn't get our wing target(s) in. I would love to see what players have been asking for. Bet it's north of 30k.

I assume Forest are routing their league?

Puncheon returning means we can hold off the wide-man search for now. Quality centre-back & striker still needed if anyone becomes available. If we could land a marquee striker (Sharp/Sordell/J-Rod) then I'd be delighted. Can never have too much fire-power.

Damn, they must be good.

Be interesting to know how fit Punch is. Didn't play much for QPR.

Quality, Minty

The bus replaced by a board?

Holy cr*p! All things considered - When's he's on his game, he can make things happen in this league.

Good on FM. That's all that matters.

Henderson has been a beast for them recently.

Can't they just blag their way out.....Again?

Don't think so. Just moving on after we turned down their Puncheon offer I guess.

"Birmingham have emerged as potential transfer suitors for West Brom's Simon Cox, although the striker admits he is happy to stay at the Hawthorns." We should be looking at him too IMO.

I've lost track of his price. What's his contract clause? 1.85m or 3m?

Indeed. I think this always happens to us in January. We always follow a very similar pattern.

Didn't hear too much about new signings.

That was a fairly fantastically depressing 90 mins.

Lallana being out is a massive blow... With that said, it gives Falque the perfect opportunity.
