#nffc transfer news (yes, really): Forest have agreed a deal to sign Shamrock Rovers striker Michael Noonan on a free transfer in January. Medical set for Wednesday.
Noonan became the youngest goalscorer in UEFA Conf League history at the age of 16 years & 197 days in Feb last year, and also starred at the U17s World Cup with the Republic of Ireland.
Forest will pay training compensation and have secured his signing ahead of Ajax & Benfica. Part of a wider club plan to recruit more young talent for the academy
Unai Emery returns to the Champions League tonight with ‘Aston Villa 2.0’.
Rebuilding teams is something he has done so many times before, and this is why he would never walk away.
Patience will be needed, but Emery is up for the fight #avfc

#nffc deadline day has usually been an expectation of hectic late business and a fair degree of chaos. Today has been deadly quiet, with Forest intent on remaining calm/patient.
Forest have broken their transfer record to sign Liam Delap - a target for the club & Oliver Glasner over the last year.
Ousmane Diomande regarded as an ideal fit for Glasner’s back three. Daniel Muñoz a plug and play signing.
Forest clearly wanted a new CM and had bids rejected (and in the latter case even accepted at one stage) for Lucas Bergvall & Harrison Armstrong.. but Glasner and club happy with squad, with no major first-team player departures
Hull City are close to agreeing a fee of around £7.5m with Stoke for winger Sorba Thomas. New offer has gone in from Hull this morning and expectation is that a deal will be agreed #hcafc #scfc
