Would be a good signing. Blackburn nearly signed him in January but the papers went in too late so the EFL didn't allow it. Ended up going to DC in America.

Like was said on the other topic, we can only have one loan from any particular club - with Bowler we'd already have one from Forest.

So it would have to be a free transfer for O'Brien which I can't see happening.

I thought the 2 player rule was for Premier league clubs only

That is in the Premier League. Championship teams can bring in a maximum of 4 fro any one club.But only 2 can be over 23
NO limit on how many loan players but only 5 can be included in matchday squad

Lewis Obrien would be a fantastic signing. Cant see this one happening though as Sheffield UTD were in for him last i heard.
