If things work out for Hobbs, he is committed to a further two years providing Forest decide to keep him. That is a very sensible way to go about their business as Hobbs has recently returned from a long-term cruciate knee ligament injury, and he could suffer from further problems.
Leicester City fans thought that the signing of Hobbs would cool Forest's interest in Wes Morgan, but according to the media, Billy Davies is still hopeful of bringing Morgan back to the City Ground and will submit a fourth bid of around £2 million, if rumours are to be believed.
Personally, I think it's stupid to spend that kind of money on a centre-back in the last year of his contract. Morgan is no John Terry after all. He often made me feel quite nervous when he was in defence. He was part of a back four that played a part in Forest's worse ever spell in their history, after all.
I think with Hobbs here, that should be enough because Greg Halford proved himself to be very capable in central-defence last season, and he and Hobbs could strike up an excellent understanding. They are both very tall and good in the air, so I think Forest should concentrate their resources elsewhere now, perhaps for a midfield general or another striker. We're not too far off from having a very good team that could challenge for automatic promotion.
Still wouldn't mind Wes back and as captain.
ReplyDeleteI just don't think he's worth £2 million.
