why have we instantly dismissed signing ruben reid after he was linked, he is better than forte imo. would take either tho but forte may end up on the bench.

maybe becuase at 28-29 he's had more injuries then David bell and last season scored 7 in 32 games and isn't worth the wage he's probaly asking.

Also Pompey turned him away an they've wanted him for a while which makes you question is he as good as everyone bangs on about.

He had one good game against us got dropped half way through plymouths season 

He has been offered a contract by Notts according to the Red rag!

I wouldn't say no to forte coming back as he is a decent player, but he isnt a goal scorer, perhaps his pace could make him the perfect partner for Izale though ?

BBCRNS have said Forte is set to have a medical tomorrow!

I would not be surprised if JS tries to move Stead and Idle on

It's a yes to Forte from me think he would be good for us

I wouldn't have thought so, he spoke highly of Stead and Izale will score lots of goals in a good team

but also is one of those 3 going to want to sit on the bench ?

Is izale going to be happy sat on the bench come Saturday or likely throw a tantrum.

Same for stead they will be on decent money and forte won't be exactly cheap 

We already have Gibson who is worthy of being given a chance this coming season. There was a story a month ago, of Stead attracting interest from Scotland yet he was still under contract? 

@wacky ..and when will Idle score away from home?

Forte has always had a bit of an affection with Notts and I remember him not celebrating the other year when he scored against us. For some reason he has a far better record playing for us than anywhere else, so I am hoping that this will continue! McLeod will be moved on I would have thought.

 

Why would we be setting up with just two strikers? During the Munto season we had 5 strikers - Hughes, Rogers, Hawley, Facey and Akinbiyi why limit yourself to Forte, Stead/McCleod, Gibson? I also think though that we might see Burke up top this season 

We definitely need more options up front, especially if Stead does leave. I'd be happy to see Forte back. If any player doesn't want to fight for his place in the team, he should be shown the door.

Forte has been confirmed!

That's good news another good bit of business notts COYP 

Excellent news!

By the way, he's called Forte because that's the number of times he's signed for us
