Anybody else think he sounds like just what we need?
He's knocked in 20 goals in 29 games already this season for St Johnstone. Looking at his record on loan lower down the leagues, it's not a one off either, he has consistently found the net throughout the last 3 seasons, admittedly not at the same level but he has progressed through the leagues in Scotland, adapted well and continued scoring with each step up.
I haven't seen him play admittedly but from what I've read he sounds worth a shot. It looks like his contract is up in the summer but what an addition a confident, in form striker would make right now. Peterborough have been sniffing round him for a while and I like their record for signing freescoring strikers....Who all seem to go to pot when they leave London Road so let's snap him up before they do!
Compared to the likes of Rhodes and Austin he will be cheap transfer fee and wage wise. Admittedly they are proven at this level already but that is reflected in the costs.
I would love us to take a punt on this lad, anyone else feel the same?

And there's me thinking you were getting Jordan Rhodes? Why don't you just put in a bid for Bale or Pratley?

Or Hans Feltercrack.
I know he's been mentioned before but not as much as Youd luva Nibblehertitsoff , a skill in itself
Both suited to the forest anatomy

Isn't about time the Derby lads got some new material? Pratley! How long ago was that? The lads got to be ready for retirement.

You might just tempt him now.

Do you not think its a bit odd making jokes about players we missed out 6/7 years ago? I'm I life long Forest fan and I'm well and truly over us missing out on Pratley. It's very odd that Derby fans remember old Forest targets. Who were Derby trying to sign years ago, who cares?

I think maybe you should move on. When I see jokes about Partley it doesn't remind me of what we missed out on. It makes me think, why is he still thinking about that? Weirdo

"Who were Derby trying to sign years ago, who cares?"
Non-league players and no.

Apparently this guy has been impressive this season but 20 goals in Scotland what would that be equivalent to in the Championship? although we did get McCleary from nothing and he was player of the year so you just dont know.

Someone who used to coach me as a kid is a scout around Scotland and he's got a file on him and rates him very highly....He recommended him to Clough last summer but nothing came of it....He could be a good gamble for any club in the championship and at a decent price.... Patterson is starting to look a decent talent now and this lad could be the same....he might not get 20 goals a season straight away but if he gets 8 or 9 from now until the end of the season it would be good for any championship club.
