Rafik signs!

[Mr_redwolf_rameater]

After running out on us halfway through a medical, djebbour rafik looks like he's signed. Quality signing!!!!
It's all over twitter and Algerian TV.. Do hope so he knows where the onion sack is, and should be interesting to see how he pairs up with his team mate Abdoun.

[Trickytreesreds]

It's certainly looking that way. - view external link (https://twitter.com/BilelGhazi/status/426490391102119936)

If we could get Gued back on loan, we would have a good part of the Algerian side.

This looks to be happening and I wouldn't be surprised to see Graham follow it. Vaughan would seal a good window to me.

You'll probably be outbid by Stormclad on that one then.

Oui, monsieur.

Ordinarily if we just signed an Algerian striker whose only claim to fame was a glut of goals for the strongest Greek side, I would be concerned or won't exactly be thrilled to bits.

But given how well his fellow former club-mate and international Abdoun has performed, I think it's a good idea. If Rafik can get on the end of Abdoun's (and Pato's crosses) or form an understanding, it would be a plus for us and have an element of surprise.

Then we consider the Greek connection, and the fact both players could be playing at the big

[Romanis]

If we can secure Vaughan permanently, it would be a good window.

If we can add another striker, even Graham, that would be a welcome addition, not to mention with the Hobbs situation looking Tricky, I'd even accept a short term deal for Baird as cover.

Keep your fingers crossed that Sivasspor don't get a striker injured this weekend!

That won't be happening here. Full transfer, muted 1.5 M fee.

BTW, expect the Hobbs thing not to be done yet.

Has he had the patented Nottingham Forest January Transfer Window Eye Sight Test yet?

Of course! So long as he doesn't have to undergo 'The Sheep bonking' or 'Rammed up the posterior' Tests, we can be satisfied.

Yeah the same 'BIG BOYS' that were turned over by Posh in midweek and now sit very prettily ahead of the relegation zone by just the 1 point having played 2 games more. ;D

Talking about being relegated, that's something the 'BIG BOYS' are very much accustomed to. We only know about being relegated to a Friday night game, because we have 2 fixtures in quick succession next week.
We are novices at relegation compared to the "BIG BOYS", who achieve it with such aplomb and regularity like a well traveled street walker plying her trade.

He wouldn't pass the Maclaren test. He can play football. Brolly's criteria is, "you want a large wage, god you must be good?"

It's a good job no one has failed these tests two hours before the end of a transfer window. That would be embarrassing.

Is your eye test just like the driving test where you have to read the reg of a car from a certain distance?

Although when you need it as an excuse, and at the same time damage the reputation of a decent football player, you have to stand on the banks of the Trent and the reg plate is on one of Fawaz's cars in Kuwait?

Quite right Smally. We should have signed him. That way, when he turned out to be ****, we could have flogged him on to you lot, like we normally do.

The clue is that he's not a notts fan, just registered with that to stir up trouble.
That post shows he's a red, he's just so stupid he forgot to log off that account and log back in as redbasie/rabbichicks/hellsreject/kod etc...

And yes we are skint. But were not deluded enough to believe our owner could have bought real madrid, but bought you instead. Or at least we haven't been that deluded for a few years ;D

[BigusDikus]

Who cares who else Fawaz could/ couldn't have bought? The fact is he's extremely wealthy and he's prepared to spend some of that considerable wealth on Nottingham Forest. :)

Your right, ive never heard of him, or the club hes playing for. Tell me, how many clubs did we have to fight off to sign him. These signings are simply not good enough. I cant see him putting another star on our shirt, can you ?

[salopred]

Not in the Championship no...

? So you claim to be a forest fan and have never heard of him?where was you in the summer?you have never heard of olympiakos,the same team that abdoun came from.

I don't care if he's been on loan at Wollaton TBH.
The guys got pedigree, he'll do for me.
Why are you bothered anyway? If you are a county fan, haven't you got more pressing issues? XD XD
However seeing as it was aimed at me, hello Basie, >;)

He was turned down by Wollaton !

Sounds a bit backward. Don't clubs normally agree a deal and then the player goes for a medical and discusses terms?

Should make sense to you then if it sounds backwards.

Don't be a klonk all your life. He wasn't lying what he said. He had agreed with Hull, but obviously it turns out Hobbs himself wants his demands met. The delay, caused Hull to recall him, probably to force the issue. Don't forget Hobbs is a prem player on 32k a week.
No way would we pay that, as it destroys the whole wage structure.
So believe what you will. Just concentrate on Preston not scoring more than 5.

[binghampies]

These are his words not mine, things dont quite add up do they.Think he should of said we hope to keep jack till the end of the season & agreed to pay a fee to Hull for his servies ,

im happy for Preston to score 5 on saturday as long as Notts score 5 or 6 .

Fawaz interview on BBC Sport

QUOTE
"We have a deal till the end of the season"

"we have jack hobbs till the end of the season right now for sure"

he also said they paid a fee to keep jack till the end of the season

...

[Polish_ForestMad]

Loans can be recalled and the fee would of been paid back.so what are you saying?

[Elite_Pie]

Come on Mr Sheen, even you can work this one out. When your owner tweeted "we have jack hobbs till the end of the season right now for sure", was that the truth? Seeing as Hull recalled him, I'd suggest it wasn't. I don't think it's anything sinister for a minute, just an owner getting a bit ahead of himself in order to appease moaning fans. We've had exactly the same with ours. Further evidence that people in their position should stay away from social media and messageboards, but surely you can't deny he was in the wrong concerning Hobbs?

[Romanis]

I think he'll be a good buy and develop an understanding with Abdoun

[garibaldi]

Hopefully he'll start tomorrow.
