Patches OHoolahan 0 Posted July 16, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28328736On the verge of signing for Forest. Is this a deal we should hijack? 26 with years of experience in the Prem and the Bundesliga, and if we aren''t going to play Bassong we''ll need another centre-back in my view as I''m not convinced by Russ in that position.

smooth 114 Posted July 16, 2014 Is a cracking player. Forest will get a great centre half if that goes through.Always a player I would like in a Ncfc shirt, but if forest have rich owners they may be able to offer good wages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrantsMoustache 0 Posted July 16, 2014 He has had interest from PL clubs, so if he joins Forest it is probably to play under Stuart Pearce his old under 21 boss.Doubt we could hijack the deal if we wanted to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,789 Posted July 16, 2014 Only £1m too, according to reports. Would be an outstanding piece of business for Forest, and would love to see us try to hijack the deal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted July 16, 2014 Quite average, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,071 Posted July 17, 2014 Was he not bassongs partner (and also his lover) in the wolves relegation team? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrantsMoustache 0 Posted July 17, 2014 Mancienne did not play for Wolves in their relegation season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted July 17, 2014 decent player and affordable! Pity we didnt make a move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brighton Yellow 0 Posted July 17, 2014 He really is not very good at all. Has barely played in the last couple of seasons and showed little above the very ordinary when playing for Wolves or Chelsea. The fact that Forest are prepared to chuck £1m away for him is laughable. A case of Pearce signing players based on the past, I think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 17, 2014 Mancienne will be in League One sooner than he makes the Premier League again.Massively overrated by many, did well in Pearce''s U21 which was based purely on strength than guile, was soon found out when playing against anyone older than their early 20s.Forest have been mugged by Hanover.

chicken 0 Posted July 17, 2014 Didn''t he play mainly as a defensive midfielder for Wolves or am I imagining that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted July 17, 2014 Think he might have done. I''ve seen him play there, centreback and at rightback. He''s just ordinary in all positions. Bit of a "Jack of all trades". Realistically wouldn''t improve our first team but no surprise he''s gone to Forest. He was a key part of some of Pearce''s dull brand of U21 football.
