£3m is a lot for a 31 year old striker.

Interesting that they mention in that article Eoin Doyle a good little striker at Chesterfield and that Derby face competition from Sheffield United to sign him for 2 million, this could affect the COG move to Sheffield therefore lumbering us with him for longer.

This is funny. The two biggest clubs in Scottish football finding their best players tempted away by giants of the English second tier like Bolton Wanderers and Brentford

Argus/Naylor must be watching this thread as Bassong's name is mentioned in an article today...

To be fair, based on his 15 goals last season, you could argue when he signed that COG was a steal for us. Obviously, that's not been the case in reality but compared to other strikers at this level and goals to cost ratio, it could have been seen that way before the season.
As for Murray, I wouldn't pay £3 million for him. He's done okay at Reading on loan but doesn't sound like he's been amazing. He's also 31 and had a very serious injury not that long ago.

Would prefer Halford to Bassong, as he always seems quite likely to make a mistake when I've seen him before. However, it is vital that Hughton can bring his own players in and, if he rates Bassong, we should try to get him.

Sky Sports "source" reporting Halford is to be re-signed as an emergency loan.

#bhafc on the verge of bringing Greg Halford back from Forest on loan for rest of the season.
But none of that matters in the world of football, football finance, and most importantly GOALS.
Taking FFP out of the equation, how much value would Forest put on 12 extra goals for the rest of this season?
I think it would be a damn sight more than £3m, which is probably why they are in such a mess.
It's up to Murray's agent to convince Forest his man is the player to deliver those goals.
I'd imagine his 2 against us will go some way to proving that.

Would be good news getting Halford back, and it is good to hear that we are being proactive rather than reactive.

Would be great news. Will hold my hands up and say I wasn't impressed when we signed Halford on loan but he has massively proved me wrong. Crucial part of the three game unbeaten run. Will also be on a free in the summer so hopefully can get him permanently then!
That should be the back five sorted for January. Goalkeeper is fine, full backs should be okay and now with four centre backs, that should be covered!

Fair point but you can definitely get better value overseas. Look at Ulloa. That's where I'd rather we looked to be honest. I don't think we need a 30 goal striker to stay up so why throw your money at it now when there might be better value in the summer. I certainly wouldn't spend £3 million on Murray, although I would love to have him back if price was more realistic.
Hope so.
The last thing Forest, and to a lesser extend Derby, (how long can they hold that team together) need is more of a gamble.
They need promotion this season, they need goals.
"After his 2 goals last week, x goals so far this season & following on from his Premier League goals, Glenn can sign today and be at training tomorrow, but all that comes at a price."
Sadly, for everybody connected to football, that price is astronomically high.
