Zach Abbott - signs on loan

[hypochondriac]

Maybe not the marquee THB replacement some people wanted but highly rated and I hope he does excellently. Some absolute mongs weren't sure if we were going to replace THB after he was sold but obviously we were going to and we have even if he wasn't our first choice. Welcome Zach and good luck.

Sporsy bigging up his 7 cup appearances

In terms of prudence, this could be quite a shrewd signing. I imagine our finances aren't in the greatest place after two seasons in the second tier. If we can get in the promotion positions by the turn of the New Year with this chap playing a role, we might have some change left over to invest in January.

Welcome aboard

 

Does anyone know if he did sign a new contract at Forest before he joined?

Certainly talks very well in his interview.

He's not the permanent fans perhaps wanted in Falchener or Affengruber but with time running out he seems to be a decent pick up. Forest fans rate him and that's usually a good indicator of talent. Welcome Zach.

Ok we didn't get the option but Forest buy players willy nilly so maybe if we do want him next season and his path is blocked there, hopefully he enjoys his time here and wants to stay. 

Schlotterbeck and Jack are good experience to help him out,

Seems like a very astute signing to me.

Welcome aboard - time to step up.

He will be the Bree backup in case he is injured or can't play. Obviously Tonda isn't a Roeslev fan.

6 foot 2 pretty sure I read and someone said it on a video.

Plenty of 5 foot 11 guys say they're 6 foot 2....

Speaks very well in his interview.

Transfermrkt (usually a reliable site) and a few other places list him as 6'2". I'm excited to see him play though I'd keep faith in Wood and Schlotterbeck for now.

On the BBC that stolen toilet bloke reports:



He seems firmly wedded to Forest right now.

I watched this yesterday found it interesting - my previous post will be buried in the transfer thread somewhere
