I just don't think we can fill the CB role with a loan player because it's too much to ask of a youngster.

I'm not suggesting he's the answer long term but we have no cover. What happens when one of the current two are suspended or injured. It will happen. We need cover he's possibly the answer for that. He's not the long term solution obviously.

Would Forest be happy with that though? He'd be on loan to play, if they wanted him sitting on the bench, he'd be with them still surely? I don't think he is the player coming in though. Do you do medicals on loan players? If they get injured, you just send them back don't you?

On 1 January 2017, Mansfield Town confirmed that Iacovitti would be returning to Forest early from his loan spell. Mansfield manager Steve Evans, who had replaced Murray in November, cited the reason as a lack of playing time

Of course, that's Wikipedia and we're not allowed to cite facts in any post.

Exactly!

A centre half is needed but not him.

Downside is he isn't 6 feet, so probably isn't the imposing centre half we need. Upside is that he's meant to be quick, which we desperately need. Other upside is that he isn't Duffy or Hollis. If we get him AND a physically imposing centre half as well, I'll be happy.

Would be good to get one over Cooper and the Vegan though

It as been obvious to every Notts fan for 5 years or more that we need 2 decent central defenders, AH is a Notts fan so why asn't this position been dealt with? He surely can't think Duffy and Hollis are the answer. Let's hope the 2 possible signings this week will solve this problem.

Let FGR have him

Are you sure he was until he bought us? I'd like to know how many games he went to prior to last Christmas.

Is it not Nolon's choice rather than AH's?
