Nogbad the Bad Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Tyson is probably somewhere on GJ's list but I reckon ( hope anyway) we'd have to have a number of refusals from preferred choices before any bid was made to sign him. Can't see him as anything more than a speedy bench player for City in the Championship and three quarters of a million or more could be much better spent.

tin Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Looking through the various threads there seems to be a general concensus amongst the fans that Maynard's one we should definitely go for. Hopefully GJ and SL agree and City will move quickly. Lets hope so. I'd be delighted to think we're in for Nicky Maynard. Be a great signing for us as well as being an investment that we could double or treble the outlay on if he took off, which I'm sure he would at this level. Best young striking talent outside the Prem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfastcityfan Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Whhhhhhaaaaaattttttttt? I'd rather go in Britains got talent and stick cocktail sticks in my japs eye than spend £1.5 million on Tyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 It's still speculation.. Yeah, the only stories worth paying attention to are ones with quotes in them because they're open for libel if they misquote. When they use phrases like "understands" they're relying on rumour.

Forest_for_life Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Come on City boys do you really want a player with an awful first touch, poor composure and an abysmal injury record when you can have Grant Holt for a small fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 If he wasnt so injury prone, I would probably consider hime a good option. When fit (very rarely) and he gets a run in the team he does seem to score goals. However I feel he is far too fragile. I know its just speculation, but if Johnson was to sign him, I would trust him 100% of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Colin actually play Holt up front last season? He always looked like a fairly hard working old fashioned centre forward to me but I heard something about him playing out wide.

He always looked like a fairly hard working old fashioned centre forward to me but I heard something about him playing out wide. Yeah to be fair to Holt he was used on the right wing in a 4-3-3 formation and naturally he looked lost. He's fallen out with CC and spent the end of the season on loan at Blackpool. If he went we would be without a bullying physical presence up front and he is good at the traditional target man role. Was our player of the year in the 06/07 season with 15 goals.

SyntaxtheRed Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 If this is true, which as Sky Sports are running the story it could well be. doesn't it seem somehwat negative to be buying a second choice striker form a newly promoted team who have just splashed out on a proven striker I don't know much about how much cash we have to spend but is the figure that Forest paid for Earnshaw way above our means?

Redhyde Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 basically spurs announced they signed him, without sorting out the compensation. it's how much rather than. Tyson = unfulfilled potential. GJ seems to have a decent record with those types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Head Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Come on City boys do you really want a player with an awful first touch, poor composure and an abysmal injury record when you can have Grant Holt for a small fee? wouldn't pay a penny for either of them...........you buy earnshaw and we get tyson or holt? that wouldn't be good!

Forest_for_life Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 wouldn't pay a penny for either of them...........you buy earnshaw and we get tyson or holt? that wouldn't be good! Holt I imagine will go to a lower league side. Despite my evaluation of Tyson I think we should keep him. Now we have Earnshaw the pressure wont be on him as much and with a decent run in the side I think we will see a better player. Tyson has potential but the past season he has been ravaged by injury and he has never found top form. If we sell Holt we'll need another striker though which leads me to think Colin will go in for his recent favourite transfer target Leon Best. I think your man Trundle will have a much better season this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunesy Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 from a Forest site... "Bristol City have had a £750,000 bid for fans favourite Nathan Tyson rejected. According to Sky Sports News City boss Gary Johnson is deciding whether to up his bid. Forest fans would be slightly miffed to say the least if he was to leave and especially at such a low valuation. He cost us £675,000 back in 2005 from Wycombe and since then he's enhanced his value considerably. Although he's been injury prone, his ability is not in doubt. If Johnson is serious about taking him, he won't get him for less than a mill. Vital Forest says, come back when you've got a serious offer."

Spike Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 hmmm good player or not saying you should get more than 3/4 of a mill for a player that is "injury prone" is taking the piss in my opinion. Would GJ really bring in a player who is likely to be injured alot? I thought we were making our squad stronger not weaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
