Nottingham Forest Rumours Mobile

26 Jul 2017 18:20:33
Darikwa signing been confirmed 4 year contract.

26 Jul 2017 18:26:19
Darikwa has signed for an undisclosed fee 😎.

26 Jul 2017 18:39:37
Solid signing and good cover, Nottingham lad too and Forest supporter as a kid so should put effort in. Can see him becoming a fans favourite as is entertaining to watch going forward but hard worker and being a Nottingham lad if he can get games over Lichij or in more forward position can see him being with us for a while!

26 Jul 2017 18:45:08
Tendayi Darikwa looks like a big strong mean beast to play in front of our defence?

26 Jul 2017 18:59:52
Does anyone know how much approximately he cost us?

26 Jul 2017 19:30:13
It was under £2m by the sounds of it, £1m has been widely reported!

26 Jul 2017 19:31:19
1m is the price being touted. Another savy bit of business.

26 Jul 2017 19:34:15
Suggestions are about £1m.

26 Jul 2017 19:36:08
Region of 1 million according to reports.

26 Jul 2017 18:07:03
Hector's coming! You can put your House on it!

26 Jul 2017 18:15:00
Hope so!

26 Jul 2017 18:17:06
i really hope your right, highly rated in germany and meant to be a good player, season long loan i presume?

26 Jul 2017 20:33:22
Bad joke if your referring to the unit of land with that spelling Redinexile.

26 Jul 2017 18:42:40
Hope you have your ladder Redinexile! 😂😂😂.

26 Jul 2017 17:12:56
Gardner offered nothing last stint. Murphy and darikwaa is 3m spent from Britt's sale. Not good enough is fawaz still in charge. We need a quality cam who scores goals. Another cb as well at least. Coyr.

26 Jul 2017 17:31:09
Listen guys, if your looking for a speedy, hard tackling, 6 foot 4 inch, no nonsense CB, look no further than me! . (well It was more than 20 years ago, and I'm a tad under 5ft 6, but I could leap higher than a march hare! ) Honestly, it's Nothing to do with the San Miguel! 🍻😂.

26 Jul 2017 18:12:09
A quality CAM that scores goals? We have Osbourne and Clough that can play extremely well in that position, why get another in?

26 Jul 2017 18:41:52
Sorry I don't think cloughs good enuf gives the ball away to much and seems to panic on the ball. Osbournes brilliant but don't score a lot of goals.

26 Jul 2017 19:42:32
We also have McKay, Carayol, Ward. we have loads of attacking midfielders who will create and score, Clough games to goals was decent last season when he came into a struggling team with low confidence. A box to box midfielder who will break up play, keep possession and play in the forwards is what I feel we need. CB on loan maybe but not too worried if that doesn't happen but I expect both will and I also expect a proven goalkepper to compete with Smith.

26 Jul 2017 20:00:53
clough got 4 goals in 14 games which for a championship midfielder is good. gets in holes between the opposition midfield and defence and makes late runs into the box which opponents struggle to track. more than good enough for me.

26 Jul 2017 21:21:59
Well if we want a box to box midfielder (which we need) then surely Irvine is the answer. Quality last year for burton and at around 2 mil could be a steal. Him along with the Greek guy would give us enough in midfield. Then only a CB would be needed imo, maybe a LB at a push. But Cummings, McKay, Murphy, Darikwa are all good signing so far. Just add the 2 midfielders mentioned and a CB and this will be our most successful window in absolutely ages.

While I can imagine this information will fall on deaf ears, I thought it was interesting to share all the same.

My close friend's younger brother is and has been Ben Osborne's best friend since a child (this is sounds unbelievable to some of you already . )

What was interesting was that whilst having a drink with my pal this evening, he was quick to tell me Forest information relayed by his brother.

Derby have on several occasions tabled bids of between £4m-£6m for him - all of which have been dismissed immediately. He went on to say that Derby have apparently called once every three days to enquire about him.

What's worth mentioning as I finish here is that Obsorne (despite being a Derby fan at heart) sees his future at Forest and wants to stay with the club.

26 Jul 2017 00:59:56
Do you not have anything better to do?

26 Jul 2017 01:41:20
4-6 mill they can have him.

26 Jul 2017 06:18:27
You could of at least asked how to spell bens name properly. you've had a pop at mystic red then we have 'airport' situation from you.

26 Jul 2017 07:36:06
What 'airport situation' are we talking about here UTF?

At 00:14 this morning, I'd imagine sleeping would be higher on my agenda than brainstorming an elaborate lie and, whilst half asleep, deliberately choosing the wrong spelling of 'Osborn'.

A suspiciously tenuous source of information, I'm sure you'll all agree - interesting never the less.

26 Jul 2017 07:39:04
Hahaha just seen how from my phone, I wrote Osborn last night!

UTF - when are you doing those spelling lessons, mate?

26 Jul 2017 12:40:39
Just to add to the rumour mill with my tenuous connections.

One of the caterers that frequent my place of work also does the catering at Pride Park and has confirmed the above rumour to be true. Derby have indeed made bids for Ben Osborn. Apparently.

26 Jul 2017 13:26:19
I've got the feeling Osborn will be sold when we buy in a replacement. I know Gardner and Irvine have been mentioned in media and also on here.

26 Jul 2017 14:26:18
It was Osborn's cross that made the first goal against Girona last night.

26 Jul 2017 15:21:50
SteveSuttonWonkeyEye, leading a very brave cavalry charge in my support here!

Thank goodness for Pride Park caterers.

26 Jul 2017 15:27:02
if we got irvine i wouldn't mind osborn going, i do like osborn but if we got between 4-6 mil for him we could get irvine and probably another quality player for 2-3 mil with the way we seem to be spotting bargains this summer. with warburton and mcparland in control of who we sign selling players doesn't seem like the disaster it used to be for us.

26 Jul 2017 15:59:03
If you do that nffc then you get rid of Osborn and end up paying two players wages in stead of just having Osborn who was our most creative player last season and the leagues second most. why pay two wages when one man can do the job?

Shows how well run derby is when the caterers are sat by the blokes desk who makes bids for players! did the caterer try to negotiate as well?
Then again if this is true that shows loyalty that so many cry about and then there wanting him gone? fickle fans.

26 Jul 2017 16:15:49
If you've ever been involved with, or employed by a football club, UTF, then you'd know that word does get around. People gossip and information circulates. Hence why many things come to light before they are officially announced. I'm not saying the Osborn offers are 100% fact, just that someone I know close to the club has also corroborated the story.

If you don't like rumours and gossip, mate, then WTF are you doing on this site? I'd try Mumsnet if you're just looking for idle chit-chat.

26 Jul 2017 16:42:39
i agree UTF it is 2 wages instead of one, but we also have britts transfer fee and wages, perquis wages and hopefully stojkovic wages and lica wages (which are meant to be high) . so with the money coming in this summer from fees and wages compared to that goong out we would still probably make a big profit.

26 Jul 2017 16:53:55
Osborn needs a season with Warbo in a settled position so everyone can judge how good is really is? I do not feel we have seen the best of him as he is always the player who fills in the midfield gaps in our squad. Now we will have some depth in midfield he can have a settled role.

As for a fee is Will Hughes any better? Ossie must be worth at least as much?

26 Jul 2017 17:07:57
redinexile i agree osborn is worth more than hughes but i think hughes was massively overpriced.
