Town to Sign Forest Winger Carayol
Wednesday, 31st Jan 2018 13:48

TWTD understands the Blues are set to sign Mustapha Carayol from Nottingham Forest on a free transfer before this evening's 11pm deadline.

The 29-year-old winger is out of contract at the end of the season and will be joining the Blues in much the same way as Stephen Gleeson earlier in the month with Town taking on the remaining months of his deal after his departure from the City Ground.

Gambia international Carayol was a youth player with Swindon and Macclesfield before breaking into senior football with the MK Dons.

He spent time on loan with Crawley before joining Torquay on a permanent basis prior to a loan stint with Kettering.

Lincoln was his next port of call before he moved on to Bristol Rovers where he really made his name, securing a move to Middlesbrough in the summer of 2012.

He scored his first league goal on his Championship debut for the Teessiders in their 2-0 victory over the Blues at the Riverside in August 2012.

Having had spells out on loan at Brighton, Huddersfield and Leeds, the 5ft 11in tall pacy wideman joined Forest after leaving Boro - then managed by current Tricky Trees boss Aitor Karanka - by mutual consent in August 2016, signing a two-year deal.

Since moving to the City Ground, Carayol has made only 17 starts and 21 sub appearances, scoring three goals.

However, he has remained in their first team squad and started Saturday's 2-1 FA Cup defeat at Hull before being replaced at half-time.

We are short in wingers so it's good to have more competition there, I too remember him being good in the past, lets hope he can revive his career here!

I'm amazed most of you are able to type on a keyboard with such sore hands from all the happy clapping you do.

Just watched a few clips on youtube and the guy has good skill, can skin a full back and knows where the goal is. What is there not to like ?. Having just signed Naymar Junior earlier its turning out to be a better deadline day than i had been expecting !

Les Brennan ...... not much of a recommendation that 'he destroyed Chambers' - most players are capable of doing that.

Fantastic prospects at Portman Road. Season over but come and run your eyes over some other clubs rejects and loan players. Cost £30. What a bargain?

Our straight talking manager lying through his teeth as per usual : nice to see us offloading all the youngsters too to ensure there's no real competition for these clapped out journeymen that fill up most of the squad. Sad days. But, hey, stop being so negative : just remember that even though we are being kicked in the head every day, a new manager might kick us in the head twice a day ; heaven forbid we might get someone who doesn't kick us in the head at all, and be careful what we wish for ...
