If there's anything in this, wonder if this means Garner is not going to end up there?

If he doesnt sign, will it be our great escape?

Forest expected to have Garner signed up by the end of last weekend Suggesting he could be on the move to somebody else?

He can be a bit of a Maverick on the pitch.
I’ll get me (waist) coat

I thought he had turned down a contract at Utd meaning that they were looking to sell him. There won't be many Championship clubs who can afford him. Wouldn't think Stoke or Forest would be in the running.

It was never going to happen was it. We move on. Still think Baker is the one we will sign.

Not exactly an A-list source, but...

Not exactly an A-list source, but... I don't see the attraction with Forest. They were bang average last season, and have started this season in the same vein. If I was looking for a champ loan, i'd stay well clear of them.

If I was looking for a champ loan, i'd stay well clear of them. Suppose he knows the manager, knows where he's going to live, team-mates etc. And he's pretty much guaranteed to start when fit. Would think we would have had to offer certain guarantees about starts - and with the 5 we've already got all being in the shake-up, maybe it's slightly less clear-cut - but it does sound like we definitely want/wanted him. The only other names mentioned are McCann (surely too expensive?), Sawyers (doesn't seem what we need) and Baker (would probably already be here if he was first-choice?) So it'll be interesting to see what Plan B is if this is true

So it'll be interesting to see what Plan B is if this is true I'd go for Baker as my first choice from that list. His last two loans seem to suggest he is exactly what we need. I can imagine as he is in the last year of his contract, that Chelsea are playing hard ball as it is their last chance to make decent money on him. Hopefully we can come to terms on a loan and then sign him permanently next summer if he does well.

So it'll be interesting to see what Plan B is if this is true gut feeling is St Johnstone will accept less than the £3m reported asking price - their record fee received is under £2m > don't see prem clubs coming in for him > they will want the money/won't want to risk getting nothing for him by over pricing him question then is how much would we go to?

The MaClean move (and any move for Ince) would free up a bit of cash!

If he does eventually come to Stoke, Michael's first comments about him will invariably suggest that "he was our number one target!"

I wonder who will blink first. Seems to be 5 or so clubs in for most prem loans, a lot are going to be disappointed and after the weekends fixtures time is going to start running out for alternatives.

This won't help Forest, surely? Another before the weekend? Another??? Have they already sacked one this week and reinstated a new one?? or is it referring to the fact that Forest always sack their managers before a weekend? (which is the case for all clubs).

Hammer blow to their Garner chances if Hughton goes, you'd think? Just about to say the same. Why would either ManU or the player want that? Unless a new manager was a big draw but neither party would know that. Didn't he end up with 20+20 last year because of a manager change at Watford?

Would make sense as Sawyers seems to have been available the entire time. Worries me only in that they don't seem like directly comparable players so have they got Sawyers wrong, or will this change the role one of our existing players would have in the side.

They seem pretty comparable from what the West Brom fan on here was saying? Quarterback to sit deep and spray passes?
