Actually, that’s exactly what you can call it.
Nottingham Forest completed their first move of the transfer market this afternoon, as Jack Colback returned to the club on a permanent deal following his release from Newcastle United (although they didn’t announce how long for). Colback had previously played over 50 games for us across two loan spells a few seasons ago, but now he’s ours properly, for a few years anyway.
Feelings towards the midfielder haven’t exactly been favourable in the past, with the idea of signing him being met with a hard no last summer, something I happened to agree with.
Are you pleased to see Colback at Forest next season?
Yes
No
However, it seems as though that the emotions appear to have changed around the City Ground in the past 12 months, as there was plenty of positivity from the supporters when the deal was announced on social media.

Never quite understood the obsession by some fans…. but a good, solid signing nonetheless. Hopefully the club continues to build upon decent signings like this.

What about you? What do you make of Forest bringing back Colback?
