I think this is pretty much a split decision on this front.

In the eyes of the fans that is anyway.

According to a report in Noord Hollands Dagblad, Nottingham Forest are in the hunt for SC Telstar’s 20-year-old midfielder Marcus McGuane. The midfielder is currently on loan at the Dutch side from Barcelona and there appears to be a bit of a stumbling block as Telstar want to be compensated in some way before allowing him to leave.

Not that a stumbling block is necessarily a bad thing in my mind.

I’ve made it pretty clear in the past that I don’t believe the club needs to be chasing more central midfielders, and judging by the reaction of these fans, it looks as if they’re in the same boat. Although it looks like they may have different reasoning for their decision, with many of them drawing comparisons with a current member of the team, John Bostock.

Although that wasn’t to say he was completely devoid of fans, with some seeing the potential in bringing him in.

Do Nottingham Forest need another central midfielder?

Yes

No

No

Let’s see if we can get through these stumbling blocks will be enough to call the deal off altogether. Depending on who you listen to, we won’t be missing out on much.
