Has played and failed at this level twice so I’m not quite sure what the thinking behind this would be, almost as if Warnock wants to top Gary madine as a waste of money



post the link to this talk mate, struggling to find it..............


twitter search grabban. he wasn’t in their squad against Leeds and reasoning online is that he’s off to us

There's better and younger for £9m.


Where?


Scottish / on the continent. Much rather take a young hungry one there than Grabban, Honestly believe that a right back is a much higher priority than a Striker myself.


Not sure we will get anything for 9 million. If we could we would.

Madine was 6 million.


Exactly, same market as Grabban. Think he went safe after Grabban reportedly rejected us. Recruiting another striker isn't urgent imo. RB number 1. I'd sooner pay the £9m for a young, hungry foreigner than a 31 year old with a crap attitude. Better still, go to the foreign market for loans.

As stated woukd rather stick with what we have got than waste 9 million on a 31 year old with no record of scoring in the premier league and no resale value.
Surely there must be loans out there which would give us a better chance?
According to sports lens we have agreed a fee for sala as well.


Agreed. Would rather loan one. If Clyne takes our last EPL loan spot then even a foreign loan will do.

This couldn't possibly be someone exited by starting rumours could it?

Looks like it to me, as nothing on the forest forums.

If this happens, I will cry, 9m for another striker that struggles in the premier league, he didn’t want to be here a year ago so don’t bring him here now! Especially for 9m more! If this goes through, warnock is very desperate, prefer to pay £22m for Abraham, 10 years younger and a better striker at Championship level

I wouldn't even believe it if it was on the Forest forums. Half the shite on here is made up

Another of the several rumours which will be well wide of the mark.

Agreed Grabban is a P***k and has strung us along twice before. At least we could make a profit on Abraham where as Grabban just wants one last big pay day and a last shot at the prem now he's 31. Not many of the Sunderland players liked him in that Sunderland doc.
