Tails (Paul Taylor) has said Forest should complete loan deal for Jack Hunt from Palace within next 24 hours. He's a right back that can play right midfield.

Was superb going forward against Cardiff in televised game when at Huddersfield
Was purchased by Palace and destined for 1st team but then broke his ankle early on and loaned out at of last season
Excellent loan signing for us and this level

Solves the full back situation,

Whats wrong with Lichaj? Thought he would be ready for start of season. He was quality last season.

Is this for cover?


4.) 21 Jul 2014
Good signing, Lichaj worried me at times last season, distribution and positioning was poor

{Ed034's Note - I thought he was outstanding and was was of my players of the season, until he got injured


5.) 21 Jul 2014
Sounds like a 6 month loan. so won't be rushing Lichaj back. IMO


6.) 21 Jul 2014
Lichaj still recovering from surgery but think he's hoping to be back in full training in next week or so but believe will miss first couple of weeks of season whilst getting match fit. Expect this will be for cover mainly.


7.) 21 Jul 2014
Think I would prefer Martin Kelly in on loan if he's fit again

@ van this is what's confusing me (tho that's quite easily done!)
We seem to have loads of defenders on paper but I'd still say yes to him. it's worrying how much game time Harding, Collins and to a lesser amount Halford have been getting.
First choice on paper or not it looks like they'll have a massive part to play again this season. better the devil we know? Would Leigerterwood (sic?) and Haidera do a better job?
Questions questions questions eh?

Just spoke to Simon Cox he has signed on loan


10.) 21 Jul 2014
I am abit blah to this news, with the defneders we have we should be able to cover this position until Lihaj is fit. Who is a quality full back!

I want to see something abit further up the park, box tox central midfielder, so when we have an injury to Lansbury (For example) we all don't panic!! I think the business to now is great, but we should be thinking about further up the park.

YOU REDS!

It's good we've got cover for now but I just don't think he's that good he played a few good games for Huddersfield was never good enough for palace in the first place I saw him play for Barnsley three or four times and he didn't look very good I hope he proves me wrong but I think he was a flash in the pan and might be dodgy for us


12.) 21 Jul 2014
Re Jvreddog, we don't have any full back cover for the right side and I'm not convinced that halford is good cover in that position. It sounds like Pearce doesn't either. And from what's been said about hunt it sounds like he's a good attacking full back which is good news. If we can get round pegs then that's surely better than making do with players that aren't suited to their roles. Strength in depth!


13.) 21 Jul 2014
I thought Laing & Mancienne ciuld play RB


14.) 21 Jul 2014
After the signing of this rb Rather then centre mids because we've got mancienne and liang who could also step in there when other players are fit we need some wingers with pace IMO


15.) 21 Jul 2014
Fine with cover on RB, but Lichaj is class and will be missed until he is back.

@Just2Good he broke his foot in his first game for Palace so how can you judge him? I know a Barnsley fan who raved about him and that was at a time when he was just getting his fitness back? If SP wants him then good enough for me!

With injuries at cb Laing will probably be needed at cb.
