Teams will want to pay in instalments and add-ons, meaning the initial interested parties like Barca & Madrid (if that was ever the case) won't pay upfront for a player years away from making a 1st team appearance while the likes of Forest won't have the kind of lump sum Palace Admin would require to clear debts. Citeh have turned their attention to Adam Johnson while the Spuds have a goal keeping problem to solve. It really does leave us and WBA, WBA have the cash as well. I reckon £3m upfront is the highest we should go. Just catching up with this thread, so sorry if this has been pciked up on already. I dearly hope we get Moses, but the bit in bold above is wrong. They don't shout about it, but Forest have got a massive massssive amount of money to spend - getting on for £25m if they wanted to - but the powers that be there are not daft enough to just splurge. I can't see that we can be considered close to being favourites at all for his signature.

Y-Y-Y-Y-YEAH. STR88888 like a banana. Routledge sets up Ranger!

How the hell are we top of the league? We've played well about twice all season.

That is absolutely disasterous

What is it about us and not getting penalties?

Get in - we need some luck!

Jesus.... heart inmouth - well done Harper. End to end stuff in the opening minutes!

Ha! One of them is injured already. UNLUCKY!

I live in Nottingham and work in Ruddington where a lot of Forest players live. Drove past Perch walking his dog today, just coming out of his house. He's just bought himself a spanking new BMW in white. Also saw him in the sandwich shop at the end of December. Seems like a very decent guy, had plenty of time to talk. He's a pretty good footballer, but I'm not sure he would really set the world alight. Having said that since he's come back from injury he's been pretty good, with one excellent performance. His missus is constantly pregnant. That is all.

I wonder if Adebayor ran the full length of the bus to celebrate in front of the gunners? Has this been done already?

Why couldn't Reading do that as well? Not really rocket science. I suppose Nottingham is a good deal closer to Birmingham than Newcastle is to Reading. Its not as massive a coach journey for all their away fans Apparently Sky TV paid to ensure major roads within 10 miles of the Hawthornes were clear. They would have lost more money in advertising revenue if the televised game was called off than the cost of clearing the roads.

Went down to Birmingham last night for a mate's birthday, and ended up in The Custard Factory (it's not a real custard factory), and got bumped into by none other than Obafemi Martins. He was heading outside having been in the dubstep room, wearing a Dennis The Menace-style wooly jumper. I am absolutely convinced it was him, although it was dark and I was mashed. Don't know why he'd go to Birmingham - it is a bit of a dive imo. He's got a shin injury that requires surgery at the mo, he did seem to have a kind of limp thing going on. He still moved pretty quick though, he was away round the corner and out of sight before I had the chance to go and harrass him.

He was definitely good at backing into players and faceplanting onto the pitch, but otherwise a bit s**** tbh, especially his goalscoring ability. Bloody one trick pony. Bloody hell, you guys weren't joking about Carroll being the best target man of all time? I was. Scary. I jest, of course.

Agreed. His heed is like a magnet for the ball. Immense.
