KiwiScot 1,443 Posted September 2, 2016 Says here we tried to buy him, but states we are a Premier league club also so not sure how long ago we did bid. Unlikely we would get him in January then according to this report.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37260227 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted September 2, 2016 ''Strange'' that he signs it, straight after the Transfer window has shut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJ 0 Posted September 2, 2016 So at least we get some facts if not from our own club, clearly went for him with usual low offer didnt up it enough. Then Forest sell another one for 12 m plus and pressure to sell gone.Makes sense to use some of that money to up players wages contract terms as by all accounts he is a 20 plus striker in this league barring injuries.

Samwam27 527 Posted September 3, 2016 It''s the usual dross about late bids that didn''t come off. Lambert has been the only manager I can ever remember that wanted to get his business done early.Yes other things come into play, but why don''t we ever learn and leave everything so late!

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,023 Posted September 3, 2016 Oh yes, I was so happy when Lambert was manager, we were still in the EU, summers were warmer, interest rates were higher, the England football team were world beaters, not happy now.........

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 3, 2016 FJSPSOB... you seem upset... think you should have a glass of whiskey or 2 and just enjoy the rickety ride. We were always gonna screw up this window. A club like ours can''t afford ambition. Just accept what we are and hope a Murphy or 2 comes through! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
