The annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer rumours thread

[The Major]

Some Huddersfield fans on another forum making out they've signed someone from us. I'm guessing Howard as they were linked with him in Jan.

That's what I've heard too. It has a ring of truth about it.

In today's People it says Leicester want to sign Hugo Colace from Barnsley and Darren Pratley from Swansea

Pratley would a decent signing dont know much about colace. When we played swansea in the fa cup last year a guy came up to us asking how to get to the ground, he walked to the ground with us and he turned out to be pratleys dad. He said forest were wanted him but he didnt really want to go there, i guess tha could have changed.

Arsenal striker Jay Simpson's also mentioned in that article too. A year's loan.

I was winding up a Swansea mate about us signing Pratle-anyway he said Pratley didn't get on that well with Sousa and was more likely to stay now he had left.

Simpson rumour could be true if Howards going, did Sousa have him on loan at QPR?

No.

 

[tedfoxxx]

I really don't want Jay Simpson in place of Howard. So there.

 

[slyfox]

What about Jay Bothroyd?

Dirty bugger i know,but is a real handful.

 

[drummindefender]

Yep we can definitely afford to buy Jay Bothroyd

Won't be to us but I can see Cardiff having their hand forced into selling him. One of those better than average players who will interest a lot of clubs due to his physique.

 

[lanxfox jnr]

We've got 20m, so of course we can

 

[Motown Fox]

Well Clinton Morrison won't be coming as he's off to Wednesday but then again he's not up to City's standard

 

[Kingy_85]

Hahaha Francis Jeffers is training with Blackpool. They really are doomed.

 

[mckrisp]

totally agree with hazzmann re: another ankle biting midfielder - wellens promised to do this last yr, but the introduction of spearing at the end of the season really added something to the way we were playing

 

[Kingy_85]

Are we getting Spearing back ?

Or is he going to the biggest club in Humberside ?

I hope we get Spearing back (Jay - not Tony).

Found this on a random rumours website...

Speaking to someone who does some scouting for Leicester.
His information, (not sure how accurate this is, but he's nothing to gain by speculating).
Leon Crncic, the Slovenian forward who 'trialled' in the friendlies last week, has impressed DeSousa, and the club are interested in taking him on.
LCFC in negotiation with NFFC regarding the possibility of bringing in one of Forest's players, (either an attack minded M/F or a striker)..possibility of Matt Oakley being offered as 'bait' in an exchange deal.Otherwise Oakley, who upset Foxes fans towards the end of last season, will be allowed to leave.
Steve Howard. Will be allowed to move on. He doesn't fit in with Paolo's plans..PdS would prefer a faster, more mobile striker..Who, will depend on budget!
Nicky Adams impressed PdS when he played at right back last week. Will be given another chance to show he can do a job in this 'new' role.
Search is on for another 'keeper.PdS is OK with Weale but would prefer a 'higher profile' number one!!

There is stuff on there about the takeover too.

Got to take it with a pinch of salt - nothing groundbreaking, interesting to speculate about the NFFC players though and I like Weale...

Naaah, can't see him going to Grimsby to be honest.

By random, I assume you mean the new fangled variant and are referring to footballrumours.com ?

Why did Oakley upset us?

He clapped Derby fans (first) when substituted.
