Karanka left Forest.

Karanka left Forest.

And Simon Ireland has taken over temporarily. Surely he'll do us a favour!

Re the Grant rumours. Aren’t we limited to how many players we can have on loan from one particular club?

Yes, four.

[BH_Stag]

From what I can gather from Forest fans, Gary Brazil deals mainly with where the younger players go out on loan, so hopefully we won’t see any issues. Said on the article that Walker played a role in selling the club to Jordan Smith so hopefully that’s a good sign that Forest are happy with everything.

Is this supposed to be today?

Is this supposed to be today?

Yes, was posted last night.

[Sedgwick]

Mark Marshall and Ruben Reid are the latest rumours

[Stagsfan11]

Grant will not be signing.

How about Eisa?

Grant was a no no last weekend, Forest want him back out to a League 1 side.

Eisa is one of Flitcrofts number 1 targets, so fingers crossed.

If we're going after loan players from Forest, then we could really push the boat out and go for Zach Clough. What a signing he'd be.

Believe they are looking to get rid of him permanently and top L1 club are interested.

A forest I know fan reckons they paid £2.5m or so for him so would be looking to recoup some of that

Mark Marshall played for Bradford City so there will be a Greg Abbott connection. Possible replacement for CJ?

From wiki

Bradford City
In July 2015, Marshall signed a two-year contract with League One side Bradford City. He made 38 appearances across the 2015–16 campaign but only started just eight league games, and was an unused substitute as Bradford were beaten by Millwall in the play-off semi-finals.

In April 2017 he was named Bradford City's Player of the Year for the 2016–17 season. Manager Stuart McCall praised Marshall's consistency and versatility, saying that "he crosses and shoots equally as well with both feet" and "is one of the highest for assists in the league". He helped the "Bantams" to reach the League One play-off final against Millwall at Wembley Stadium, and was described by the BBC as "particularly influential" in the match; he provided a goalscoring opportunity to Billy Clarke, but Clarke's shot was saved and Bradford lost the game 1–0. Marshall was reported to have made 261 crosses and 285 completed dribbles in League One in 2016–17, ahead of any other player in the division.

Charlton Athletic
On 17 June 2017, Marshall signed a two-year contract with League One club Charlton Athletic; "Addicks" manager Karl Robinson said he was "one of our main targets" alongside former Bradford teammate Billy Clarke. However he missed much of the opening three months of the 2017–18 season after picking up an injury during pre-season. He went on to score two goals in 31 games to help Charlton qualify for the play-offs under new manager Lee Bowyer.

Style of play
Marshall is known for his pace. Former teammate Tom Pope stated that Marshall has "terrific self-belief" and will continue to try and beat his marker even if he is struggling to find success in the match.

That would be a great signing for us

[lifestags]

Always thought Marshall was decent when he was at Coventry/Bradford. He was shocking against us for Charlton at the mill, think he was playing right wing back.

[Martin Shaw]

we've just watched Mark Marshall play against us for 1.5 games, including score against us Tippy.

[Martin Shaw]

By coincidence, I watched him play for Chelsea U21 against Peterborough on Wednesday night in the Checkatrade trophy. He played at right wing-back.

I can't recall him playing particularly well in the home game. The Charlton press gave MOM to their young wing back. I did not go to the replay.

Carolyn liked a couple of comments on her post... 1 saying ‘another forest player?’, another sayin ‘striker?’. Remember somebody mentioning Appiah a while ago he’d fit that.

Personally my pick of any ‘potential’ signing would be Eisa, looks like he’d fit in well looking at his goals and assists at Cheltenham.

Agreed, i bet there are half a dozen clubs after him though.

[MTFCMusings]

If we get Eisa it would be a huge coup.

And very surprising

Forest fan who knew about Walker who told me yesterday that Grant wasn't signing for us, tells me now that he couldn't say anything yesterday but Grant was due to sign today but now on hold due to Karanka leaving.
