why cant we sell McLean for 6M and use the money to buy a player we actually need?
Forest WANT McClean but we dont want Ben Osborn

We were linked with Osborn in the summer. Quite heavily. I've no idea if he's a Beswicks client or not.  Edit: Just seen the bit about Pieters too. Christ, we're literally offering anyone and everyone out aren't we? |

Played around half his games at left back this season and half in midfield.
I've always rated him when I've seen him play......

If he's for the left side and I don't have to watch Clucas anymore then yes please.

That is an "interesting" development - if true. If the swap did go through I wonder what position we would play Osborn in?
At present he appears to be a conventional (i.e. left footed) left winger who can also play at left back. Jones' diamond formation doesn't have room for conventional wingers - so would he play as a very attack minded left back if we used the diamond formation?
The recent 352 formation, using wing backs. would appear to be tailor made for a left winger who has also played as a left back.
Jones does seem to be rapidly making his presence felt if the rumours as regards both Justin and Osborn are anything to go by.

Unlike some on here I rather like McClean, for all his limitations, but Osborn is younger and more versatile so it looks a good deal ...!

I don't think even forest fans know where his best position is tbh. A few mentioning him as a number 10 so maybe at the tip of the diamond? You would imagine his versatility, age, and 'good character' are the major selling points for us here though Forest Forum |

Great engine, can strike a ball but questionable distribution/decision-making (this was from a couple of Forest fans I spoke to when we were linked with him last summer). Not seen too much of him myself. |

Getting a 24 year old and shipping out dead wood expensive players. This is a no brainer great plan. Would imagine we'd need to subsidise the wages sadly, but still a good result.

Played a lot centrally apparently I haven't seen a chart like that for different positions played by a player for years. If we sign him I will call him Eric after Eric Skeels!  |

Osborn has played left wing back and left back at times for Forest in his career also.Cultured left foot and has always had loads of shit off Derby fans with being born in Derby but playing for Forest
