As they seem to have started already, this should be an ongoing thread until August
Seny Dieng - Reims who are mid table in Ligue 1 reportedly interested
Conor Masterson - Gillingham, where he spent the 2nd half of the season; are confident of signing him, but Exeter are also interested |  |

I can only see Forest's line up for one of their preseason friendlies and Cook didn't play in that. The last game he played was back in January and he was on the bench for the whole of that month before his foot injury. Let's hope he's had a full preseason and is ready to go this Saturday. |
From our Nottingham Forest guy...
Another really solid signing. Great, committed, no-nonsense pro with bags of experience. Won't hear a bad word about him from Forest fans. Was integral in our promotion - bringing him in allowed us to play three at the back, and we looked so much more assured with him in the middle of that three. He also scored an emphatic penalty in the playoff semi shootout. Reads the game well and relatively safe with the ball at his feet, but no longer quite quick enough for the Prem. Still had a few decent games last season - lovely volleyed cross assist when we beat Liverpool at the City Ground. Just missed out on the 25-man squad in the second half of the season, and even then we tried (unsuccessfully) to register him just after the deadline when two of our centre halves got injured in the same minute at Craven Cottage. A good illustration of his character was that he was in the away end with the fans that day. He hasn't played football this year, though - and he hasn't featured in pre-season - so will need at least a few games to get up to speed. |  | | |

I’m sure I read in one of the articles about Colback that he and Cook were training together during pre-season. So one would assume if one is lacking match fitness the other one is too.
Even if half fit, you’d still think they’ll be better than Gubbins and Dozzell though. |  | | |

That's encouraging, thanks Clive.
Might harm us in the medium to long-term, but I s'pose it's all about the here and now right now.
Again. |  |

Being fit and able to play is key here but to me this is the equivalent of adding two players to Saturdays team, he’ll replace Gubbins and if he’s as organised as I think he is then he will make at least one of his fellow defenders better straight away as well.
Exactly what we needed but bloody hell he needs to avoid injury, Jimmy Dunne for me is a more than decent player but when he has anything to think about other than ‘just playing’ he doesn’t inspire me, could be that when he gets back in that Cook will help him massively as well.
I’m happy with this, but let’s get him on the pitch! Actually a half match fit organiser would improve Saturdays team |  | | |

How much do yo reckon we would get for him? | | | |

Danny Batth linked now. As long as you're an experienced and basic centre back, you're linked! To be fair, a lot of Sunderland fans are not sure why they're letting him go other than that they've signed a bunch of kids in his position! |  |

Get another good CB in to enable a 3 at the back and the last thing we need to do is sell Field who should sit in front of them.
Finance dictates so much but purely on football terms there’s no way that he should leave to facilitate a CB | | | |

Batth would be a good signing he was one of Sunderland’s player of the year last season
Then again I remember the Ord signing and thinking the same thing |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

That bit did surprise me. I know he was under contract at Forest but I assumed they were just willing to let him leave and thats why we were in for him | |

I wonder if we've been able to sign Cook for a fee because we're about to sell Field? We couldn't afford to shell out £400k for Forino. Or perhaps Cook was half the price? |  | | |
| Summer Transfer Rumours on 21:29 - Aug 9 with 1941 views | Gloucs_R |
Think the fee will be depending on us staying up.
Hopefully Cook is more Ryan Nielsen than Rio Ferdinand!!
Looks likely to go straight in as captain. [Post edited 10 Aug 2023 6:51]
