    Playing devils advocate here but Ballard played about 15 games last season. As good as I think he is and how important he’ll be next season, how much of an impression do you make as a championship centre back in that little game time?

    Was that blue one Tuborg or Cowies?

    Edit: Tuborg a bit later than 83 maybe?

    Will Smallbone has to be one of the most unfortunate names I’ve ever heard.

    Vlachidimos is a really cracking keeper, I’d be worried about that link as he’d want to play.

    Greek international champions league experience. Would be a statement signing but I’d be concerned about Patto

    I’m sure he signed a new deal so they’d be looking for like £30mill for him there’s no chance. He is quality

    Smallbone was quality for Stoke against us, but the Stoke fans seem to hate him

    Has to be one of the laziest links I've ever read. He just signed a new contract in March with a €60m release clause <laugh> who writes this garbage?!

    Surridge highly rated but every time I've seen him he's been absolutely useless. Admittedly that isn't lots. So he must have something about him, I just don't see it.

    Never watched Forest on the telly, only time I catch any football that isn't SAFC is if I walk in someone house and they have it on. As a result I have no idea about anyone and rely on what people say on here but one thing that different with this recruitment team there seems to be less mistakes made with signings.

    It's inevitable that some won't work out but for the most part they are doing a great job, biggest thing is the change in personality they are bringing in, gone are the days of signing lads just happy picking up their pay cheque, buying sports cars and huge bottles of champagne on holiday!

    Utterly ridiculous link that mate.

    Fans proper love him as well, he’s first choice for Benfica he ain’t coming to the second tier ha.

    Yep. Right up there with Uwe Fuchs. And David Goodwillie (who turned out to be a bad Willie :emoticon-0100-smile). To be honest we could have a thread on humorous sporting names... Fanny Schmeller, anyone???
