To be fair Kevin Nolan never said we were signing him.
He was probably asked by a reporter whether his mate would be joining him and he basically said "he's a good lad, we've been chatting and I need to have a word with him to see if he's interested" The reporter then reports that we are looking to sign him.
That's exactly it

Looks like Carlton might get a return to the Premier League instead...
