Just seen Clingan has gone to Coventry, and COUNAGO is off to Swansea. Stop selling strikers and give us Rhodes Keane you fucking cunt.

I dont know if youre retarded but i said capable of playing in not def will be in premiership
Hmmm, backtracking a bit there. Seems odd that he has gone to a team that will struggle in the Championship though....
What with him being that good and all!
Coventry is exactly the sort of team I knew he would end up at. Average player for an average team.
Sammy was by far our best player last season. I wanted him to stay so badly. He would've pissed all over everyone in that league.
Marcus Bean would have kicked him in the face. That was probably the sole reason he didn't want to play in League One. TRAXX can you tell me everything you can about Cody McDonald's chances of doing well this season (now Holt has signed) I need info for my fantasy team THANKS
He did say that to be fair, he made it pretty clear. The comparison with people like Hayden Mullins is a good one.
Cody will probably partner Holt upfront. Jamie C has lost all confidence in his ability and his form going into the season is atrocious. At the back end of last season Cody came in (from non-League Dartford) and it was blatently obvious he has talent. Gunny will stick with him and it will pay off big style. I honestly wouldn't be suprised if ended up being up there in the scoring charts this season.
Cheers, sounds promising He's injured at the moment right? I picked him as a gamble, Alex picked Cureton a few picks before I got McDonald and he's bitter about picking an ageing spastic who misses open goals from 3 yards out instead of young Cody I think, he really has it in for the poor lad.
Torn - any sites I can see who's in and out of the clubs at your League One level? Google is being rubbish.
Thanks!
He did say that. But if a player is as good as suggested then he wouldn't have signed for one of the poorest teams in the Championship. Coventry will struggle this year, mark my words.
Mullins played for West Ham who were favourites. I would have expected a player of Clingan's supposed ability to have been snapped up by Boro, West Brom, Preston, Sheff Utd etc.
Nah, Freddy will score 20 this season to keep them up.
Ever since the best player in the world Jay Tabb went to Reading I've completely stopped liking Coventry completely. Tabby will destroy the league next with Reading, I'm pretty sure he already started to take Hunt's place on the wing (having seen them both for us, I've said this before, Tabb is far the superior player) so I'm surpised Reading haven't cashed in the ridiculous fees being touted for Hunt yet.
Has Freddy done anything of note since leaving Southend?
Speaking of Reading, RED DOG I might be going to the first game of the season with my Forest mate at Reading because I live really close when I'm not at uni.
It's either that or listen to Brentford at Carlisle on the radio.
Not sure if I'll go. Tend to only go to the BIG away games these days.
And even that is in jeapordy now Matt Thornhill has gone on loan. The selfish shit.
I'll be watching him be dominated by Kevin O'Connor at Griffin Park the week after
I don't really know if he is any good. The only games he played were under Calderwood where most players just looked slightly baffled.
He will either excel or get lumps kicked out of him.
Marcus Bean enjoys kicking lumps out of people, that should be fun.
Honestly Coventry will probably go down this year. I'm annoyed Sammy has gone there thought his form last year would've got him a decent move. He may well go shite again but his form last year was sensational both internationally and at club level.
Looking forward to seeing G.MCCANN mixing it in this league next year. He's an interesting one.
Ipswich have rejected a bid for Jordan Rhodes, interesting. Doubt it was from us.
BILLY Davies today insisted Nottingham Forest have still got work to do in the transfer market before the season kicks-off, saying: "So far we have only been playing catch-up."
The Reds have lavished close to £5m on nine new signings over the summer.
But Davies (pictured) is still hoping to add another defender and possibly a midfielder to his squad.
And, while he is delighted with the progress made in the transfer market so far, he says he is working hard to add further new faces, with Doncaster defender Matt Mills still a potential target, along with Leicester City's £2m-rated England Under-21 international left back Joe Mattock.
"I have said before that we have done some great work in the transfer market so far," said Davies. "But we are only playing catch-up with everyone else. It is not like we are spending money to put ourselves miles ahead of the opposition.
"If you look at the rest of the teams in the division, what we have done is added some new faces to what was a very thin squad.
"What we have now is a 20 to 22-man squad, which still has gaps in it, in my opinion.
"We still have work to do. But what we have done is do very well in the summer to support this young team with new signings; to add to what was a thin squad.
"All we have done, with the greatest of respect to some of the young kids, is replace the likes of Adam Newbold, Mark Byrne and Emile Sinclair, with the likes of Dexter Blackstock, David McGoldrick and Paul McKenna.
"We are not doing anything special. We are building our squad – because of the condition it was in – into one that can compete. Even with the additions, it will still be difficult. It is not going to be easy."
While defenders Joel Lynch and Chris Gunter both joined permanently last week, most of Forest's additions have come up front and in midfield.
And Davies hopes to add further strength in depth in his back four, with a central defender still high on his shopping list.
"We have specific players in mind, as we have done since the beginning of May," said Davies.
Forest named a strong team against Notts County on Saturday, although Chris Cohen, Guy Moussi, James Perch, Paul Smith and Joe Garner were all missing with slight injury problems.
But Davies says his team in the remaining two friendly matches – starting with the visit of Stoke tomorrow night – will not be a reflection of his starting line-up.
"What I am doing at the minute is looking at certain partnerships and combinations," he said
Oh and we have just narrowed our pitch.
Get the feeling that it isnt going to be Clough-esque passing football this season.....
