We apparently tried to sign dwight Gayle in the summer and will go back for him in January, now that would be the icing on the cake for me.

So says the unathletic Taylor from the Athletic, if true we, did not try hard enough but he could make the difference between play offs and automatic promotion

Three points tomorrow at the dw would be the icing on the cake, good weekend, England beat the Aussies, now we need three points to keep up our promotion push.

Me too ff said it all the way through pre season and still saying it. The man is full of goals at this level.

Gayles ability is not in doubt, but the club having tried to sign him is for me. If the club tried to sign him anything that stood in the way in the summer will still stand in the way in January. If Forest really were serious about getting him they would have thrown everything at all parties concerned to make sure they got him,they did not get him, so why will January be any different?

Because they didn't expect to be sitting joint top of the league so maybe more money is available now to push on.

You could be right, but in a joke SL said he was told by our owner, get promoted or i will kill you, if you want promotion and you chase someone like Gayle you go all out, not half hearted.

Are you or real? Is there any difference between half hearted or flat out for a deal? Unbelievable! If we offered a good deal we could offer two thirds now and he would jump at the deal with a few clauses in places for next season- keep it real guys for goodness sake.

If we offered a good deal he would jump at the deal, your words 2tone, so did we not offer him a good deal last time? Like i said, either we did not chase him in the summer, or the deal was not good enough for Gayle. If we were to offer a good enough in January for him to take it then that should have happened in the summer.

Maybe it was the fee we could not agree with Newcastle?

Wtw. We are a completely different proposition at the moment and Certain players will want to come to us if we are still in a strong play off position in January. We can offer more to the players now and would be far more attractive than we were pre season.

And primarily the deals got to be good for Forest - if it doesn’t fit in with us I couldn’t care less if it’s not a good deal for Gayle.

79 you may well be right, if that is the case do you think their price for the fee will be dropped in January.

2tone yes you are right that our position will help to attract some players, because we could get promoted, but we will not be able to pay them anymore than we could in the summer. I also agree any deal has suit Forest, but like i said in one of my posts i doubt the rumour is true, but he could make the difference between the play offs and automatic promotion.

There could have been any number of reasons why the deal never happened, no point making it as black and white as "we offered our best deal, he rejected it so now itll never happen"

RS, wtw seems to be saying the rumour is bs, and if the club did happen to make contact with him they did not offer all that they could,and should they go after try again in January they will they will need to offer him a better deal, if they do why did they not do that in the summer. Everyone is giving their opinion, who knows if anyone is right.

Cannot see Gayle leaving the Barcodes as they need goals and Ashley will not be sanctioning big money signings in Jan. They will need him next year in the Championship?

Paul Taylor said it, it must be the truth. Ha,ha,ha,ha.
