CONFIRMED Ben Osborn

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

And I'm talking about for this upcoming season. Which Osbourn will be a squad player.

Cranie was a short term deal, Osborn will be developed, they are the complete opposite types of signings

 

[GymClassHero]

Cranie is 32 Osborn is 24

Well done you can interpret simple statistics.

Would you like a gold star?

Yeah

 

[GymClassHero]

Yeah

Well ya can’t have one for being pedantic

Do we think Osborn (assuming he signs) is likely to be competing for the LWB slot with Stevens? From what I've read he seems to be more of a midfielder but he is left footed and has played in defence.

In our preferred system, he's competition / back-up for Fleck and Stevens.

 

[Wardy1889]

Apparently Friday night come on with Two minutes left, waving to all four stands at the final whistle

 

[derryblade]

Another player getting plenty of game time with his club, at least he will be up to speed should we get him.

[Ricky]

We should be aiming to get this done for Chesterfield.

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

A telling comment by a poster on the Forest forum "Brian Clough would have loved Ben Osborn",the new Cloughie thinks the same !!

 

[S40BLADE]

Another one taking a good while to complete...

 

[Ricky]

I think he's going to cost £4m+....

 

[bromtom]

It's my fault, I said we should be able to get it done quick on page 4 or summat.

 

[LoxBlade]

Never really seen much of him, don't know why I had this pre-concieved idea he'd just be a bit of a run about the pitch and break up play without doing much else type of player but going off those few clips he looks technically very good. Could be one of those signings that end up surprising a few.

Apparently he's both ,I really like the look of the lad

Looks very very good wouldn’t mind having someone who can do that at left back


Love that every one of our signings so far are aimed at the future


If we go down we’ll be prepared for the next few years even if we finish with ten points

 

[Bladesman]

This thread is a thing of beauty. Despite the rivalry there have been no forest fans who have felt the need to come and tell us how they manage their transfers.

Are we really in for him if we don't get half of Nottingham Forest's fans on our forum? We need them to come and explain their clubs business model to us.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Surprised this hasn’t moved quicker too - but maybe the chance in manager didn’t help and he’s wanted to assess him further.

 

[Wards]

Looks remarkably Fleck-esque

 

[loyalblade95]

Ironic when this rumour first came about I thought he would be around 26 27 for some unknown reason, was a little shocked to find out he has played over 200 times for forest and is only 24.

Bit of a random thing to say but younger players should look at someone like Osborn as a bit of a role model, to have been in and around the first team consistently since he was 18 19 years old is quite impressive

That is a lot of money for him with a year left on his contract.

Ambition!

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

That Richard Cadette might actually know a thing or two.

 

[Tunstall Fred]

That Richard Cadette might actually know a thing or two.

Get him signed now, so we can have a look at him tonight

 

[BladeTillIDie]

What positions is he going to cover?

 

[SHOREHAMST.com]

I honestly don’t know much about this kid. From what I’ve seen Forest fans don’t rate him particularly high?

From what I’ve seen the sensible ones rate him really highly and the idiots hate him because he supports derby
