Shaun Wright-Phillips and Michael Mancienne are being linked with the club. Wright-Phillips has supposedly met with Fawaz to discuss terms with the club. Pearce wants Mancienne to comeback and lead the defence alongside Laceselles, he wants to comeback to England and would be available for between 1.5m and 2m.

Do we want an experienced winger?
Probably SWP would certainly cut the mustard.

A new Centre Half?
It would probably push Danny Collins totally out of the frame, and we'd have a few on our books with Hobbs, Wilson, Lacelles, Collins, Laing and Halford with Mancienne that would give us 7.

Collins would be an obvious choice to leave, perhaps retain Halford as the utility player, with Laing out on loan?

Of course people will say if we do get Mancienne is could be Lacelles to leave in a big money move

Love for Mancienne to join, he has been linked to Forest ever since Pearce became manager. Think could get for less than mentioned fee, but wages (same as SWP) could be a factor as both on high wages (40k+) I expect.

Wright-Phillips is just what forest need. Bags of pace, Top flight experiance and would be on a free as he is refusing a new contract from QPR. Can't quite see it happening, but would be a great signing none the less.

Good player mancienne but I don't think he is better than what we have at the moment. As for wright Phillips he would offer that out and out width I think we need more of, but he is well past his best now

5.) 22 Jun 2014
So Hobbs will be o the bench? Not sure about that bit.

6.) 22 Jun 2014
Surely their wages would threaten our FFP situation, they wouldn't take a massive pay cut and would cause unrest between the other players on lower wages.
I think we will see more signings like the previous free transfers or lower league players.

Shaun Wright-Phillips, no thanks! That lad used to have so much ability, but he seems to have lost it all. If this is true, I hope SP can bring the best back out of him, but I can't see it myself.
Michael Mancienne, I used to rate and this rumour was around last year, does anyone know how he has progressed in the Bundasliga? I would of preferred the Eric Dier rumour to have been true. Younger and loads of potential

SWP hasn't played in QPRs promotion push last season for one reason, he has lost his drive and is more than happy picking up his wage wherever he plays

9.) 22 Jun 2014
Mancienne linked to prem clubs at£4million so doubt it. Yes to SWP though.

10.) 22 Jun 2014
SWP! Please! Does anyone out there remember Franz Carr? Pace and no talent!

{Ed034's Note - not good enough anymore....register please

11.) 22 Jun 2014
It would be a good move, I have not thought about wilson or hobbs purely because of last seasons injuries. personnally I think both are struggling and will probably continue to do so (only my opinion) swp is money motivated and has lost a lot of his desire to want to play.

12.) 22 Jun 2014
Mancienne yes. SWP no. SWP is the wrong end of his career and barely played at QPR. Mancienne is still at a good age and has played at a decent level in Germany.

13.) 22 Jun 2014
I would prefer Mackie on the wing rather than an overpaid SWP looking for a pay cheque. Or Pato on the right, Reid left and Landsbury and Vaughan in the middle. But this isn't championship manager!

14.) 22 Jun 2014
Mancienne is not on 40k, not even VDV on that, Hamburg have no money.

I personally would prefer Burke than swp

16.) 22 Jun 2014
Would rather use the money from both and buy Odebajo from orient.

17.) 22 Jun 2014
Got a mate who is a QPR fan. They would love to offload SWP because apparently he's been absolute garbage for two seasons. He's passed it, big time.

18.) 22 Jun 2014
What makes you say he wants to come back and play alongside lascelles?
Would he not play alongside Hobbs or Wilson?
