Another Championship Manager favourite, made up the Forest hot prospect triumvirate with Jenas and Prutton, don't know much else about him.

Can't recall ever seeing Williams. Saw Prutton play for the U-21's recently - he was excellent; in fact he played better than JJ, who came on as a sub.

played well for Scotland recently on his debut, looked at ease at the higher (?) level.

Are Forest becoming our feeder team ?

Now that would be PSG, would it not?

Just a note about another player being tracked by The Toon. According to our local press we are keeping close tabs on Colin Samuel, 20, Trinidad and Tobago striker and hailed as the next Dwight Yorke. Apparently we head the queue as we have developed relationships with this part of the world. Samuel is not yet able to get a work permit and needs more caps.

He can have one of mine, Jonno, and I think my Dad's got a couple of spares.

I'll endeavour to ensure that your offer of surplus millinery is directed to the appropriate place Terry. :-)

Why do they need caps to come here then? Do they have to have something to doff in case the Queen visits?

Please Jonno, don't start us down that path again. It's only just calmed down after the last set to! I prefer to think that they need lots of caps 'cos the weather here is so unpredicatable. ie none of us would be surorised to be caught in a hailstorm on the beach at Seahouses in July. Hence the need for lots of caps.

I tnink you're right Terry about that other subject. I'm sure the interest has peaked.
