Contract runs out in December and wants to leave Norway. Turned down Blackpool last August apparently and was on trial at Forest in January who couldn't afford him.

Not aheaad of Masilela, unless back-up

Never heard of the bloke before. Bit of a worry that is 'too expensive' for a club of a similar stature....do we really want a lot of highly paid players on the bill?

The transfer fee will be substantially reduced. When Forest were in for him, he had a year on his contract, now he has four months.

Based on your intimate knowledge of both players no doubt.

Eh? It's August already? What happened there?

Surprised you didn't get this. Norway's a Summer league, so contracts work by the calendar year.

I know that Hazz. That doesn't change what you said :icon_lol: either it's December or it's October.

Bid received for Parr, no confirmation that it is from us.

According to Norwegian media, Swansea, QPR and West Ham are the clubs that are after him. No mention of City yet

Thank goodness for that - I was fearing that we wernt going to sign anymore fullbacks - forget importing a couple of decent strikers lets just concentrate on the full back problem - suggestions for any other fullbacks we can sign please

I assume you've not heard the rumour of Berner becoming a coach. Cover at left back is needed.

I wonder why we didn't sign Mesilela then

I wonder why we didn't sign Mesilela then

Depends how much we are paying for Parr. We could have been pissing money away on a loan player when a permanent opportunity for cover is needed. Perhaps Masilela's club were only willing to loan him as a first choice player and not to warm the bench?

I wonder why we didn't sign Mesilela then

I believe he spent a lot of time injured last season. His agent said on a few occasions that the medical wouldn't be a problem. I wonder if all wasn't right.

Also as Fitz has said, we can get Parr on a full contract as opposed to a year long loan for Masilela.

Don't panic just yet. there is still seven weeks until the window closes.

Bid from unnamed English club rejected today. Can't link to source from my mobile but www.aftenposten.no has a story about this (in norwegian)

Exactly, very rare for a club to come out and say a player failed a medical as it kind of screws them for a move anywhere.

Some one is reporting on FT that he's been told we should be announcing a new signing today, then someone said there'd been reports of a player having a medical yesterday??
