Yes it is real.
He is exactly the type of combative midfielder we will be needing in the Championship at times, on wet Tuesday night.
We still need a creative attacking midfielder though. Wonder what Lansbury is upto these days?
I'd really like Lansbury back. He had some awesome matches for us and he seemed to be involved in a lot of Forest's best work last season. I think him Howson and Tettey would be a brilliant midfield 3, especially in the Champ!
We should probably let Surman go but I do wonder whether his inside knowledge of the Champs may make him very useful to us.
He was/is creative (something we've lacked) and played nearly every game for a team challenging for the play-offs. Depending on how Adams wants to play, and what personnel come and go, he could be very handy to have back. I'd like to see him play on the left but with the freedom to come inside, and rely on Olsson to provide width, as he should be more able to go forwards in the championship.
Surman should stay here, he is still a good age and can play centrally as well as wide.
No brainer for me.
Surman himself has said he prefers to play centrally, something I'd have no problem with.
Arsenal now linked with Ruddy too.
Source is the Daily Mail so I'm going to write this one off until further evidence.
