Ed have you just seen nat jacksons tweet? Looks like djebbour refused to complete his medical so fawaz has pulled the plug on the deal
Norfolk red {Ed034's Note - yes it is a bit odd


1.) 11 Jul 2013
Had a feeling this was not going to happen seemed to be taking too long.


2.) 11 Jul 2013
It says they refused to complete the deal it dosent say they have pulled the plug fully might happen tommorow. {Ed034's Note - the bbc are saying that


3.) 11 Jul 2013
Confirmed on BBC News.


4.) 11 Jul 2013
Makes you think He's got a long standing issue he doesn't want us to know about! I'd rather fawaz pull the plug then fork out tonnes on his contract if he's going to end up injured most the season can't blame fawaz think most chairmen would do the same


5.) 11 Jul 2013
I hate to be doom & gloom but that doesn't look at all good! I thought it was pretty much in the bag with Djebbour.

Gone all quiet re Mulenga too. I was really excited about those 2 coming to Forest but hey. It appears that the search goes on!

I was wondering why he had not played that many games during his career compared to most his age, obviously has an injury and this is the reason he refused the full medical - lucky escape! Would be nice to buck the recent trend, and get a few decent players that have no issues with medicals. (aside from Jara and Lichaj that is:)


7.) 11 Jul 2013
You can't have a deal without a medical so what was he hiding? Best to move on quickly and forget him if he can't pass the medical.


8.) 11 Jul 2013
Sounds like trouble to me and checking him out on internet looks like he's had a few bust ups. Get sharp.


9.) 11 Jul 2013
This will only make Fawaz more determined to get us a quality striker. It could be a blessing in disquise. We shall see?


10.) 11 Jul 2013
I hope its just 'odd' and not something that should really worry us? i'm getting a bit nervous now. {Ed034's Note - he refused to finish the medical. I'd be worried if we did then sign him after refusing. Do you not agree this was the sensible thing to do??


11.) 11 Jul 2013
Pretty sure read somewhere he missed nearly a year with a injury, possibly ligament damaged but can't honestly remember. Googling may unearth what injury was


12.) 11 Jul 2013
Hes probably been offered more money elsewhere. We don't compete with other clubs that's why our miserly offers always get laughed at. Fawaz won't spend big so let's move on


13.) 11 Jul 2013
Get Billy Sharp


14.) 11 Jul 2013
ITS NOT ABOUT AN INJURY! He was doing the medical and heard of interest from Prem teams. so refused to carry on. so we stood our ground and didn't carry on.


15.) 11 Jul 2013
At least he didn't turn us down for Derby. lol


16.) 11 Jul 2013
Yes it's on a web site he refused to take a full medical


17.) 11 Jul 2013
Definately the right thing to do but i'm nervous that our list of 12 wanted players is getting trimmed and we could end up with nothing or at best our third or fourth choice players. I moaned about Billy not having enough options in he's previous time here when he couldn't sign his top signings and we had to make do with what we had, hopefully its not deja vu.


18.) 11 Jul 2013
Wonder who else is on the list?


19.) 11 Jul 2013
I understand Marseilles are sniffing round him!


20.) 11 Jul 2013
Had is head turned by tin pot Hull, Fooook him, Get Sharpy


21.) 11 Jul 2013
BYE, NEXT {Ed034's Note - totally agree


22.) 11 Jul 2013
If he refused to complete the medical, then it is absolutely correct not to complete the deal.

Very in teresting! Can't to hear what as actually happened

CAM


23.) 11 Jul 2013
Anyone know what we were going to pay for him? Websites suggest Djebbour is valued between £5-6m. Would have to presume a decent wage too.

Who else could we get that has regularly, and would still, bang in 20+ goals a season?


24.) 11 Jul 2013
If he doesn't want to play for us, then we simply don't want him to play for us. It is a shame.


25.) 11 Jul 2013
We want players that want to play for he club and before they do there are formalities to complete such as a full medical whatever has happped you can't blame the club or Fawaz. Sounds to me that there are mixed stories but either he wants to come 100 percent or he can do one.


26.) 11 Jul 2013
Whats forest waiting for sign billy sharp now


27.) 11 Jul 2013
He just using us to increase hid profile! I say no thanks!


28.) 11 Jul 2013
This is starting to sound like Wesley Verhoek (the homesick lad who McClaren tried to sign). I can't see what all the fuss about Sharp is though and why people keep on harping on about signing him. He only seems to score goals when he plays for SOD - check his record.


29.) 11 Jul 2013
He has shown a total lack of respect to the club. Looks like he may have been trouble. And anyway, his ninth goal on his YT top ten was handball - so there.


30.) 11 Jul 2013
Surely not done himself any favours by not completing a medical. make any club think twice now. would like to know what pep thinks about his mate aswell


31.) 11 Jul 2013
Dear fawaz, please sign mr sharp he is a genuine give 100% player who with the service will score us the 20 goals we've been lacking 11 goals last season with no body pulling the strings
He will work his magic and show us the promised land

Ps well done for getting rid of that time waster if he doesn't want us on our terms then good riddance


32.) 11 Jul 2013
Well the first tweets were true, after all the build about djebbour, I really feel like crying.
whats weird is that i`d not heard of him a week ago


33.) 11 Jul 2013
Why is everyone set on Sharp?
Let it go, i'll run round for that cash & everyone pat ya on the back for your work ethic. Goals & wingers needed!


34.) 11 Jul 2013
Sharp isn't just about hard work. Supply him with chances and he scores. I must have been watching a different player to you-are there 2 billy s's?


35.) 11 Jul 2013
Its funny how around 4pm we didn't need or want sharpe now we do, {Ed034's Note - tbf it hasn't made more fans want him


36.) 11 Jul 2013
Refusal to complete a medical is a new one on me - as was failing one at the eleventh hour on the basis of an eye test. I genuinely hope that the facts of the matter come out soon and aren't such that they result in Forest developing a reputation for messing people around at this stage of the recruitment process.


37.) 11 Jul 2013
Must get Sharp now. or what will we do? rely on Miller oh gawd {Ed034's Note - there are plenty of strikers we could get. Les just sit back and wait.


38.) 11 Jul 2013
I rate the guy, I really do, his record in the Championship speaks for itself but if we don't sign Billy Sharp it's not the end of the world. The interest in Djebbour shows our net is being cast wide. Have faith, there's still over a month to go until the start of the season.

One other thing about Sharp is he definitely NOT a 100% effort type of player. Birmingham away this season he touched the ball once and that was to take the penalty, his application that day was appalling. Goal poachers with his record are like golddust and I'd be happy if we got him but he was the 'laziest' (for want of a better word) striker on our books last season.


39.) 11 Jul 2013
Hi Ed do you know if a drugs test is part of the medical
If so?? {Ed034's Note - i presume


40.) 11 Jul 2013
Must get sharp? Give over son. I suppose your one of them that didn't was O'Dreadful to go either and look where he is now. he's had a long loan and done nothing. move on. Chris Boyd was better than Sharp


41.) 11 Jul 2013
Mmm n maybe he's just thought 'this doesn't feel right' or 'am I rushing in to sign for an English club when I have other offers' we've all felt stifled before hsvent we?
Maybe the powers that be and our other French speaking and Arab players will calm him down and he'll sign.
All I'm saying is don't jump the gun the fat lady ain't singing yet (ie I've not seen him holding up a Hull shirt- & if he does he'll be gutted hoof ball and relegation awaits!)
Time will tell lads just don't surmise it's the club or that the guys a junkie FFS!
For all we know he could be in that famous garibaldi yet!
Either way we've kept the faith for the last ten years or so and I know we all yearn for a return to the top but let's not bottle it now!

He was linked with rubin kazan 2 weeks ago in the french press.
