tee peg If Bikey was on the way out would they have played him on Saturday?


I don't think it means he's definitely on the way out now, but it does send a clear message to him and the inevitable consequence will be that he will leave us within the next 12 months in my opinion.

Anyone else feel Rodgers is holding off naming Captain as he wants to make Mills captain? Just a thought.

Either way, awesome signing. Very VERY good player.

Just a striker needed now then!!

BR hinted at four aims early on in the summer - two new defenders, an experienced forward to replace Doyler and that he'd do his best to get S Hunt the move he wants.

Two down, two to go.

Matthew Mills Becomes Tenth New Signing For Forest

Out of all the targets for Nottingham Forest this summer, the transfer of Matthew Mills from Doncaster Rovers has proved the most difficult to secure. But Vital Forest has today learned, that a deal to bring the highly rated Centre Half to the City Ground, has been completed.

Mills will be announced as the tenth new player to join Billy Davies and he'll be seen as one of the key signings for the club. The fee is set to be announced as undisclosed, but we expect it to be in the region of £2.5M.

The 23 year old joined Rovers, for a club record fee of £300,000 from Man City in 2008 and has gone on to establish himself as one of the best defenders outside the Premiership. The Reds' beat off competion from WBA for his signature and he will be a major part of the redevelopment of the team. This is yet another statement of intent from the club and shows that we really do mean business next season.

The defender made a great name for himself in the Championship last season, drawing comparisons by some to Colin Cooper, and several clubs have been in the chase for the centre back including other Premiership teams including Wolves & Birmingham, but it is believed that Mills had set his heart on a move to the Reds, long before any fee was agreed and had let it be known to the Doncaster hierarchy of his desire to further his career on Trent side.

Mills made 45 appearances for Rovers last season picking up 7 yellow cards & 1 red in a campaign that saw them keep 10 clean sheets in the league (13 in all competitions) which played a massive part in their survival, with doncaster being the lowest scorers in the league (42), they needed a rock at the back & Matt Mills was that rock which is why they have tried so desperately to hold onto the player.

Welcome to the City Ground Matt, Now, where's our left back?

Hmm, would wonder if this spells a longer than expected stay on the sidelines for Ingimarsson than anything else.

Pleased about this.

I was so looking forward to having to apologise to that knob Flash for us signing Dervite today as well.

I wonder if he'll be apologising to gazzer?

When RFC's official site puts news like that up, it hardly ever falls through, i am 99.9% sure Matt Mills will be a Reading player by the end of play tomorrow and i look forward to rubbing it in Forest's face on Saturday when they realise we paid less than they offered but Matt loves us!!!!

It has to be a done deal and a very good signing as well. Mills & Pearce at CB's. Solid.

if he signs be interesting to see whether he come straight in, and if so, whether Gunnar or Cisse misses out in the defensive role. Outside chance of Harper there I guess.

I imagine Cisse and gunnar will share it, Gunnar is the better player but doesn't have the legs for every game as we all know.

It's not a done deal until the club confirm it as done. I'll never forget the David Connelly situation which happened a few years ago! I'm just delighted that the club is going back to investing in young, hungry, talented players.
