Love it when fans say, I'd have him, but not for that much and I wouldn't pay his wages. Do we REALLY care about how much it costs? Surely that's RL call? How about we just stick with wanting x y or z player and let the owner work out if its financially viable. Massive footballing cliché. Funny!

Reported on Sky Football Transfer Clockwatch:

New Nottingham Forest manager Alex McLeish is expected to put his own stamp on the squad in January and is reportedly plotting a raid on his former club Aston Villa. A couple of papers report that McLeish wants to sign midfielder Barry Bannan and will also look to turn full-back Alan Hutton's loan into a permanent arrangement.

Carew tweeted last night he'd be happy to come & play for Villa for nothing, a few more players with that kind of spirit might not go amiss.

How old is he now? Used to be an important player, he is missed!

Nursey seems to think that the bannan to forest deal could go through in January. No mention of whether it would be a possible loan or sale though.

@JamesNursey: #NFFC McLeish looking to strengthen their midfield. Linked with #AVFC Barry Bannan today & hear could happen later this month, 1 to watch

Lambert seems to like wee Barry and he plays him more often than not, so unless it was a silly offer, i'd be surprised if it went through.

Latest transfer news is that joe cole looks like being the first on the conveyor belt in at qpr and is reported to be in talks with uncle Harry this afternoon.

Don't see 'onest 'enry going for Bent after what happened when he had him at Spurs. God knows where he will go.

Don't see McLeish going for Bannan at all either.
