Transfer deadline day has proved to be a fruitless and frustrating time for Forest fans in recent years and although this one looks to be shaping up in similar fashion, there is hope that we may make a signing or two before the window slams shut at 11pm tonight.
Steve McClaren has warned the club that he needs at least 3 signings in before the 11pm deadline, if we are to mount a serious challenge for promotion this campaign. A failure to strengthen the squad in McClaren’s opinion, will only lead to a season of struggle. On that basis, you’d hope that the board would listen to what he says and act on his recommendations.
The gaffer apparently has a few irons in the fire, with the rumour mill suggesting a loan deal for either Patrick van Aanholt or Ryan Bertrand at Chelsea. Stoke City centre half Danny Collins, is also rumoured to be a deadline day target for the Reds, but there are question marks over his desire to drop down a division.
I think it’s going to be another day of frustration for us Trickies, but I hope against hope (as we all do), that the manager gets the backing, he needs to take the club forward. You never know, it might happen.
