Talk from the Nottingham rag is that SP is interested in Matty Fryatt. Thoughts? (Personally not too keen. )

1.) 19 May 2014
Not sure how he thought, need a twenty goal a season man and got to Matty Fryatt.

2.) 19 May 2014
Proven goal scorer at ch level. What's not to like?

3.) 19 May 2014
I think we have to remember where this story came from guys (nep) I doubt very much as if SP would tell them who he is untreated in bringing to the club. probably a slow news day so they made something up to fill some room on the sport pages.

He ran his socks off for Hull against Arsenal, even Tim Sherwood said He had impressed.

5.) 19 May 2014
Tim Sherwood says a lot of things

6.) 19 May 2014
Matty Fryatt up top with Matej Vydra playing just off him.
Fryatt can hold the ball up, can score goals with both feet, and his head, while Vydra is quick and clinical.
He has just returned to Udinese after being on loan at wba, and was one of the best strikers I've seen, when he was at Watford and will score 20 plus goals in the championship.
I'd be more than happy with these two.

7.) 19 May 2014
I agree entirely with samtheman. Plus, Fryatt did try his guts out on Saturday in a team that posed very little attcking threat after the 1st 15 mins.

8.) 19 May 2014
I really hope this isn`t true and that Pearce has better lined up.

9.) 19 May 2014
Nep said last week that pearce had declined to comment to them until he is officially employed on 1st july so this is speculation by nep again

10.) 19 May 2014
Just a coincidence that his name is mentioned so shortly after he has a good game in the final

11.) 19 May 2014
I think I would back Tim sherwoods views over Heisenbergg

Hes not a bad player and a lot better than what we have left up front.

13.) 19 May 2014
Anything you read in the NEP is copied or pasted from someone else - I don't think they have even herd gone words investigative journalism or confidential source.

14.) 19 May 2014
If running your socks off all game constitutes having a good game then he had a good game. Looked overweight and slow to me.

15.) 19 May 2014
We already have players who "run their socks off". Agree with the Vyrda comment tho. Fits the bill and will compliment perfectly.

16.) 19 May 2014
Hope so, had injury problems, but proven goal scorer, and hard worker! Love him in a Forest shirt next season! Hope this ones true?

17.) 19 May 2014
Haha, bang on red fred - England will never win a world cup because we have far too many pros, ex pros, pundits and arm chair fans that all love a good engine on a player. Talent? what's that? Nah, we need more people that run around and run some more. Yeah, that's what we need.

18.) 19 May 2014
We defo need 'strikers' who do more than 'try their guts out' that's what everyone says Coxie does. well if they don't get goals etc we certainly don't want them. I've never warmed to MF.
i really think we need someone better and more skilful. we can already 'hold the ball up' but can't score (enough).

19.) 19 May 2014
If he signed he would be the best striker at the club! So of course a good signing!

20.) 20 May 2014
I think Fryatt has bags of experience and still knows where the onion bag is. As to another, Vydra. good shout, Sharp. if he really wants it. McCormack and Wickham and Rhodes, unrealistic and out of our price range.

21.) 20 May 2014
Not sure why everyone's kidding themselves he played well in the cup final. Average player and already past his best.

22.) 20 May 2014
I'd be much happier if we were being linked with the likes of Vydra and not Fryatt.

23.) 20 May 2014
I think the jist of any deal for pretty much any player is how he reacts to the club structure and the manager and coaches. the player being of great quality is not always the answer. it is my hope stuart gets the very best out of players that he has available. the finished article player wise is very expensive. old big head very rarely bought a shiny expensive player. and just recently neither did dyche at burnley.

24.) 21 May 2014
There is something in what you say - I've just watched the damned united again and it shows how he made and found good players. But it doesn't show the other side - Trevor Francis for example,

25.) 21 May 2014
That is true willow, occassionally it did happen and I am sure ed will correct me but shilton, fashanu, wallace, and peter ward all came to forest for considerable fees back in the day, but for the most part a good player was turned into a great one because brian and peter taylor were incredibly clever. I hope stuart can sprinkle a bit of that magic about next season.

26.) 21 May 2014
I think the original report in the Post was just lazy journalism tat other news reporting agencies have picked on. BD was interested I just don't believe SP is.
I don't think he is the type of player we need to move us forward. I can only see a proven goal scorer/s coming in.

{Ed034's Note - I don't think they would have written such a big story if they weren't sure.

27.) 21 May 2014
Fair comment Ed. i'm just not convinced that he is the type of striker SP will be looking at.
Time will tell

{Ed034's Note - why not? He will score goals and is different to what we have. He knows the league, will settle straight in and will be full of confidence after last seasons cup run.
He may not be that exciting Stan collymore signing, but that doesn't mean he won't do a job for us
