Ed I just wrote 3 posts stating this and didn't get posted. great signing on a free fantastic delivery similar to Andy Reid.

{Ed034's Note - you and around 50 other fans posted about this, so I went with the first one.
I'm also moving house, plus have a business, so I can only apologise I am not sat I here every minute of the day

Expect that's the one we were going to be signing last week. Good signing proven at this level and gives us width.

Great signing on a free transfer great buisness and can drop in to the team if Reidy needs a break. COYR!!

Rumours are hot at the moment. he's a freebie I think


5.) 29 Jul 2014
Will be a good signing on a free, he will be a good squad player.


6.) 29 Jul 2014
Good squad player, bonus is he is a freebie.


7.) 29 Jul 2014
What about a top striker! Hopefully with all these freebies, he might be saving the pennies to spend on a proven goalscorer?

or are we just going with what we got.

FTID

{Ed034's Note - we have a proven goalscorer and Pearce has confirmed we are after another

Fair dos Ed I'll let u off ;-) just thought for oncr I haf the goss 1st on here. What do u think of thr poss Burke signing? Goodluck with the house move!

{Ed034's Note - very good signing. Brings some much needed experience and a consistent player


9.) 29 Jul 2014
One word, Booom! great player, can play on both wings, our strikers will now get success with Burke!

Am I the only one who thinks there's a large chance he will start ahead of Mackie? Don't get me wrong, I love Mackie and his work ethic is second to none but Burke's delivery and all round play I think might be of a higher quality.


11.) 29 Jul 2014
Great acquisition, just need a really speedy wide man to balance up the squad plus another proven goal scoring centre forward and defensive midfielder!


12.) 29 Jul 2014
Love all the great business that we are doing. Great mix of youth and experience. Even if we do get this big sponsorship deal I have faith that the money will be spent wisely.


13.) 29 Jul 2014
Still not top quality though! ( not like collymore, van hoijdonk! My opinion) when we've gone up, we've always had a top quality forward! and we have plenty of experience within the squad already. with fryatt, Reid, wilson, hobbs, cox, vaughan, de vries! But ido like Chris Burke, always a threat when we played against him! anyway COYR!


14.) 29 Jul 2014
Let's hope he is not injured.


15.) 29 Jul 2014
According to the Beeb he's having a medical right now!

A very good signing at this level. He can provide the final ball for the strikers.


17.) 29 Jul 2014
At least it will stop him scoring against us!


18.) 29 Jul 2014
Posted about this a few weeks ago, he is a free agent at the moment, although I think he's 32 so comes with bags of experience and very proven at this level, is he passed his best though?


19.) 29 Jul 2014
Born Dec 83 makes him 30-1/2 I think.


20.) 29 Jul 2014
Another good deal by forest, been impressed by him when I seen him, not the fastest winger but can pick a pass and quality distribution.

Will get the nod ahead of Mackie on the right wing I reckon.

A modern day 'Robbo?'
