Man Utd waiting on James Garner decision as Nottingham Forest old boy finally finds new club

Good morning Nottingham Forest fans!

Here are your headlines...

Spurs stance

Nottingham Forest welcome Tottenham to the City Ground on Sunday as they look to cause a Premier League shock.

Ahead of the game, the Garibaldi Red podcast caught up with Ricky Sacks of the Last Word On Spurs podcast to discuss the fixture.

We also got Sacks' thoughts on what has gone wrong so far for former Reds loanee Djed Spence and defenders Sergio Reguilon and Japhet Tanganga, who have both been linked with moves to Forest.

Business backed

Nottingham Forest fans are solidly on board as Steve Cooper's Reds revolution excites the Trentside faithful.

A cool £135m has been invested in deals designed to keep Forest in the Premier League after an exile lasting 23 long years, and all of them have been hugely backed by thrilled supporters of the club.

More than five thousand "Reds" have taken part in our Good Deal, Bad Deal survey of the club's summer business, and what is quickly clear is the overwhelming backing given to head coach Cooper and Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Grabban jets off

Former Nottingham Forest captain Lewis Grabban has joined Al-Ahli on a free transfer, the Saudi Arabian club have confirmed on social media.

The 34-year-old has been without a club since leaving the City Ground in the middle of last month after failing to agree on a contract extension and therefore departing at the end of his current contract this summer. West Bromwich Albion were linked with keeping the former Reds forward in the Championship but Grabban has now opted for a move to the Middle East.

Al-Ahli's first match of the season is actually tonight (Wednesday) against Al-Qaisumah at their King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. As a result of his new club's relegation from the Saudi Pro League last season after finishing second bottom of the 16-team league table, one point adrift of safety, Grabban will start life in the second-tier First Division League.

Garner going

Former Nottingham Forest loanee James Garner is reportedly 'expected to leave' Manchester United before the end of the summer transfer window, with Everton and Southampton 'showing interest'.

The England under-21 international was left out of the matchday squad for Monday night's meeting with Liverpool after being an unused substitute for Man United 's first two matches of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford. This comes after Garner featured for Erik ten Hag's side during pre-season, starting against Rayo Vallecano in their final friendly.

Forest supporters were left baffled by the midfielder being left off of the bench earlier this week, with some suggesting that they would welcome a return to the City Ground before the end of this month. It was also proposed that a transfer being in the offing could be the reason behind it.
