Thread: Kelvin Wilson & Biram Kayal & Sammy Bid KB'd

All I know about the lad Wilson is he's 24 and played in over 200 league games, Kayal looks a sound investment and I reckon we should be getting at least £2m for Samantha as he has (just under) a goal every second game with Celtic.

I agree with this although I'm in no rush to see Samaras leave until we know either Murphy or Hooper can cut it.

Fortune' does a decent job of holding up the ball but the rest of our front players are mince.

I reckon the boy Kayal could be a fair bit of business, looks decent. Dunno much about this Wilson fella mind you.

I think we are still waiting on the "big signing" that Lennon was talking about, but I think there are a few players still set to leave to be honest. McGeady being one of them most likely.

Aye I reckon there's at least three players still to leave Rab... Hinkel, McGeady & Samaras.

Nottingham Forest have insisted Kelvin Wilson has not gone on strike, following reports the defender had walked out because of his club’s rejection of an offer from Celtic. Newspaper reports on Tuesday claimed Wilson, who is said to have been subject of a £1 million offer from the SPL club, had refused to make himself available for any of Forest’s pre-season games.

Those claims were dismissed by a spokesperson for the Championship club on Tuesday afternoon, who delivered an explanation for the player’s return from the team’s training camp in Portugal.

“We can confirm that Kelvin has an injury,” the spokesperson said. “He took part during the pre-season trip to Portugal but since he returned he has picked up a shin injury and that is the reason he has not played.

“We have no idea where these stories about going on strike have come from.”

Wilson, who has just 12 months left on his deal at the City Ground, has been a target of Celtic boss Neil Lennon since before the end of last season. The Hoops boss watched the 24-year-old defender in action then, adding him to his summer transfer wishlist.

Celtic are expected to return with an improved offer to persuade Forest to sell Wilson, with Billy Davies – manager of the English club – admitting on Tuesday he could lose Wilson if the price was right, despite his desire to retain him.

“I have not spoken to the players but they know my feelings about them,” Davies told the Nottingham Evening Post, with Nathan Tyson and Chris Cohen also in demand. “They know that I like them and like them very much.

“Money talks in football however, we all know that. As a manager, you know that what you are dealing with now might not be what you are dealing with in two weeks.

“There is a lot of speculation with regard to Kelvin Wilson. We will have to see what happens there and it is the same with Chris Cohen and Nathan Tyson. It can be disruptive when that happens.”
