De do dough, don’t de, Dodo?
Ben Jacobs says we're close to signing Delap.
Lots of noise that Delap is effectively a done thing.

But actually there’s lots of good in there. Lots of different types of chances, powerful (if off target) shots with both feet.
He's big and powerful, and gets you up the pitch quickly. We don't really have anyone like that.
And if he acts like a cunt then Yatesy and the Serbinator can give him a straightener.
Big Nik has been a bit of a whiny git for the last 12 months himself. It's forgivable last season, given everything, plus he's terrifying.
He'll fit right in.
There's actually aspects of almost all of those that I quite like. Whether it's movement, or the desire to take the shot on, or the power and directness. Looks a lot better than anything we've had recently.
Apart from the actual scoring thing.
Percy says Jacob Murphy is on a list of three options for right wing-back.
Percy says Delap is likely to be a loan. Hopefully with a price for an option.
That sounds ideal?
Seems the most sensible from Forest's point of view.
Just realised Delap's not on the Chelsea bench tonight. One of the Twatter journalists was suggesting Forest were hoping to finalise the deal after the game tonight.
Why don't we just offer to swap him for John Victor? He's an upgrade on their keeper.
