George Boyd

Heard we're getting Kightly. This would be huge.

That's still a rumour Boxer, but it would be nice. Boyd is 98% done, and we are after at least one other signing - probably not Burke though as Brum are quids in thanks to their keeper.

FAF - Boyd deal is done. I have confirmation of that - I wouldn't post anything unless it was 100% as I know that people get so much stick for posting stuff that is 99% done.

I have a few friends who are journalists, one who is an agent and a couple who work for football clubs.

I won't ever post an article stating we have definitely done something unless we have! Otherwise I turn out to look like a fool

Gomes has gone to Hoffenheim from Spurs. I know we'd settled on Darlow as number 1, but I'm just so happy we're not getting this burk - rather hoping for a different Burke...

And why on earth would Fergie know our tactics for a player we haven't even confirmed signing yet?
........................................

Keep your pants on, just saying what Fergie is quoted as saying in our local paper, I would imagine he perhaps knows a little more about it than anyone on here.

I suspect that although Boyd is recognised as a left winger and therefore seen in comparison/ in competition with Reid, he might well be used in a position behind the strikers as is Radi. A pretty decent safety net in case Radi does not want to re-sign.

"We have a wide player at last"

At the risk of stating the obvious, Forest already have the widest player in the league in Andy Reid

No Robbo was wider than Reidy, what a player.

I've just heard that the Boyd deal has fallen through. Admitting;y, it was from a very drunk Scottish man, but still.

I've just heard the same.
