Dexter Blackstock is currently trying to find himself an agent with links outside the UK. Well he has been asking for one, I assume for himself. Judging by what has been said on here, it seems likely he will be leaving Forest and you will all be happy to be rid.

I don't think he's ever let us down ed and I wouldn't be one to say I'd be glad to see him go, I've heard he is paid a ridiculous amount so the money side would be beneficial but he has been a decent player (with a few limitations) and did put in some important goals for us. Good luck to him.
{Ed001's Note - ok mate, I was just judging by the posts I have read. They tend to be very negative about him.}

Turns up a couple of times a season. No thanks, get him off the wage bill.
3.) 07 Jun 2016 08:31:32
He can go for me .
lazy and no good for us going forward in the future.
I wish him all the best.
4.) 07 Jun 2016 08:51:11
Lazy?
Dexter is not the most gifted player, but anyone who has actually watched him play will know that he is not lazy. It is not his fault what he gets paid. He is always willing to put his body on the line and this is why he has suffered from so many injuries.
The biggest problem with Dexter is that he needs a run of games to find his best form, but his body struggles when he plays regularly.
Having said all that, if he wants to leave, I would not stop him.

Dex pops up with the odd important goal but as GazzaRed says he only turns up a couple of times a season PLUS he is very injury prone. I wouldn't say he was a lazy player Darrenforest1976 that is just his style of play ;)
6.) 07 Jun 2016 09:23:24
Sorry just read he needs a run of game and had to chuckle he's played well over 200 games his best ever career total is 13 goals but I would look at him playing a different role may be in defence it's worked successfully before give dex his due though he's not lazy and good with his head.
7.) 07 Jun 2016 09:36:02
Never let us down. Brave in the air but not the best option going foward. All the best dex.
8.) 07 Jun 2016 09:58:51
I must admit when he first arrived on loan and his first season he was great but his major injury finished him off. last couple of seasons. slow, uninspiring, massive wage bill. got to go.
9.) 07 Jun 2016 09:58:52
Another of the players like Guy Moussi who once they got their three-year contract never were the same again. Blackstock wasn't lazy just too laid-back. And never pinned down a regular slot. A luxury on the bench.
10.) 07 Jun 2016 15:33:12
Scored more than Macheda, Akpon, and anyone else who should have been behind him in the pecking order.

Ed001. The only confirmed thing is there is speculation.

Forest have spoken to Hull City regarding Maguire. I don't know anything more than that, though they are looking to send him out to the Championship on loan, so I am not sure who approached who about him. It might well be that Hull asked if Forest want him to cover injuries.
1.) I'm not saying this is untrue, however I can see why we need another CB when laselles is available, Hobbs yes is injured but is it long term? Wilson ands mancinne looking good partnership. COYR
2.) Cant see us needing another CB on loan, we have Laselles, the 2 kids in reserve, plus Halford Collins and Fox who can all play in this position too
3.) And don't forget there is Laing as well

Another interesting post Ed. I have some sympathy with Salah’s “thrown under the bus “ interview. I've seen him against us and a few other games on TV and he seemed the brightest attacking spark, still sharp and with great pace. As you say, it’s Liverpool’s defence that is creaky, yet it’s Salah who is dropped.
Don’t get it but I’m not party to the off field politics. Perhaps Salah has engineered his final big post off in the Middle East but I think he still has a lot to offer in the Prem.
Is Salah one of those rare footballers who has a hinterland and a life beyond football, which he is now heartily sick of? What’s your informed view Ed. Perhaps he’s happy to bow out at the top with all his medals and accumulated glory?
Take a leaf out of Klopps book and step back?
{Ed001's Note - no mate, he doesn't want to go, this is all about him desperate to stay at Liverpool. He rejected over a million a week on offer if he had gone in the summer. He wants to stay in Liverpool and play for Liverpool. His family are settled, his wife can't do her work in Arabia, she is a scientist. His eldest daughter, in particular, is happy and settled in school and does not want to move. His primary focus is his family, what is best for them is what he wants, so him finding out that Liverpool are trying to sell him without even informing him first, has angered him.
He is one of those players that just wants to focus on the game, which is why he gets so fed up on international duty as the Egyptian FA will turn up at his hotel room at all hours of the night with guests wanting to meet him. When he should be resting ahead of a game the following day, they will be waking him up to speak to a sponsor. Going to somewhere like the USA or Arabia would lead to that kind of thing happening all the time. He is an obsessive trainer, he wants a professional environment. So I am not sure what will happen now.
Personally I would shift out Slot, Hughes and Edwards for treating a club legend like this. But I would also reluctantly tell Salah that his outburst means his position is untenable too. It is just that he can't be alone in leaving now.}
2.) 09 Dec 2025 19:35:09
Sadly, what Salah said is pretty similar to what Nuno said in terms of crossing a line, rightly or wrongly.
There isn't any coming back from that I am afraid.
{Ed001's Note - yeah it kills me to agree, but yes.}
3.) 10 Dec 2025 18:17:59
Thanks for your comments Ed. I think some people on here ( and generally ) think in terms of football manager type games without taking into account world class footballers are human beings too, with all the problems and complications that brings with it….
{Ed001's Note - it is easy to forget that.}

Im glad you included Morato Ed, i thought it was by far his best performance in the Garibaldi (white kit in this case). ?.
{Ed001's Note - looks like he is growing into the Prem to me. Hopefully anyway, it is always good to see a player get off to a difficult start and still go on to make it.}
2.) 06 Dec 2025 11:45:29
Good posts Ed and Red Robin. ??.
{Ed001's Note - thank you Stokey.}

I think it is fair to point out, I have nothing personal against Joe Cole, he is actually a lovely lad, a really nice lad who does work his butt off when he is on the pitch. The problem is that he is not very bright, and when he is training he tries too hard to be one of the lads and ends up slacking off messing around with his mates. That is probably why he did better while in France, as he would not have been able to do that, with him being unable to really get into the banter due to the language barrier. He allows himself to get distracted and led astray, in a very similar way to Gazza, though without anything like as much talent to get away with it.
02 Aug 2025 16:16:07
Thanks mate, it just amazed me as I was thinking he was flying and then it is a real shock to see other players keeping pace easily.
16 Oct 2024 18:18:38
That will confuse everyone.
31 Mar 2023 15:25:27
Nonsense Rutland. The country can insist a player is checked out by their medical staff. Clubs cannot refuse to send a player, they can only advise the national team they are not fit for selection. It is then up to the nation to decide to call them up or not.
14 May 2022 14:50:37
I thought you might be suffering today! Cheers mate, and good luck for Forest in the play-offs.
08 Apr 2022 19:23:18
stay safe please Bowie. It is always good to see you around on here!
