The Dutch lad has signed then, he has said he likes Df preferred style of play, seems to be a replacement for Tesche, if that is the case will we loan, or sell Tesche. Tesche does want 1st team football, so unlike some will not refuse to leave.

Tesche was never going to be first choice this season in the midfield and as predicted before, Osborn will also only be a "bit part" player.

1978

International clearance needed, who knows how long that will take, but as it has been on the official site there is a reasonable chance it is true.

It is not as if someone has got if off Mr unreliable Nixon, or there mate, or something someone has just made up themselves.

I think you will find that Nixon mentioned this Dutch lad over a week ago ; )

That's not entirely true UpTheForest. Someone told him Fawaz mentioned it while on a train. Nixon didn't know anything. And to give him his dues, 1978 came out with some details. This is splitting hairs though. Who cares now he's ours.

Mr Nixon mentioned Frey coming to Forest to complete transfer the next day from his post. Is he playing against Bolton uptheforest, he said Pinillos would sign quicker than he did. There is a difference between coming to sign, and a player seeing what a club has to offer.

I don't get the international clearance thing. If the guy's an EU citizen (Pillinos too) surely he can ply his trade anywhere. It's all Dutch to me.

{Ed001's Note - international clearance is just the footballer's registration, to check it really is them and you haven't ended up with Ali Dia instead. It is between the relevant FA's and is just paperwork to be transferred just to ensure the same player can't turn out for more than one team and to check if he has any suspensions etc hanging over his head from his previous team.}

Is Ali Dia no good then Ed?

{Ed001's Note - he was the one Souness signed for Southampton on the say so of a phone call from someone pretending he was George Weah's cousin. He made one sub appearance, replacing Le Tissier, and was hooked off after just a few minutes. One of those great stories from the 90s.}
