Camp Set to Complete Norwich Move
at 16:11:10

"I don't think the ‘if Forest let him go, he can't be that good' philosophy really works".....I'm commenting from a position of seeing him play most weeks. I wouldn't say he's been deliberately playing sub par because he didn't get him premiership move in 2011 but he hasn't been the same keeper since the rejected Swasea offers. Plus in this case Forest have let him go without having an equivalent replacement. I guess the only way to view this is that he either wasn't pullinghis weight or he's a disruptive influence. Either way the club decided to ship him out now and not in June. You already have a good keeper in Loach so maybe Camp was an unnecessary "luxury".

Old Campy always did believe that he belonged in the premier league, his been sticking his bottom lip out since Forest wouldn't let him join Swansea. He is a good keeper on his day - shame is his "day" hasn't been very frequent since June 2011....I suppose the fact that Forest have preferred to let him go now and use a rookie youngster instead speaks volumes...

This little snippet comes at the end of an article in our local paper. It sums up the Camp situation fairly well.

"It is fair to say Camp, since he was denied the chance to move to Swansea 18 months ago, has not been the influential figure he once was.

He has still been an important player for Forest. But the fist-pumping heroics he had produced during the two seasons when Forest finished in the top six have not been evident for some time.

But even as he prepares to leave Nottingham under a slight cloud, is Camp really guilty of anything more than something dozens of other players will do in the coming months?

All Camp is guilty of is playing the system. And, as long as Forest are willing to do the same in the future, it does not have to be an issue."

Camp may be mercenary in his approach but then that's typical of the sport these days. If he signs for you I'd expect him to perform well - with none of the sloppiness that has been evident for the last year or so, at least until the last year of his contract any way.

Hope McGoldrick works out well for you, the lad never put in a bad shift for us but I don't think he was ever used correctly or give a decent run (hence his nickname McGoaldrought).

Wiggy - cheers for that. I really don't see the point in going on another team's fan sites just to wind people up. Maybe I'm too old for it!
Having said that you might not have liked my opinion on Chambers when he was in the process of signing for you! He really didn't produce for us last season, was an awful captain and was critical of supporters which did not endear him. He needed to move away too - its probably done him good.
Old Franzie Carr - could get to the byline like a gazelle on steroids and then do little more than pass the ball to the keeper... he couldn't cross for toffee.

We had plenty of Derby fans banging on about his "arrogance" when he joined us. Whether it was warranted or not it didn't stop him being among the best keepers in the division in his first couple of seasons for us.
To be fair to him he's hardly had a settled let alone good defence in front of him for the last 1Â½ seasons which will also have impacted on his form.

Steve

I was old enough to watch the 1979 European Cup Final on the TV but not old enough to go myself.

If he signs I've no doubt that Camp will do well for you, the only alarm bell I would have is that he had premier league aspirations. Not saying that Ipswich could not get him there in a season or two but if a prem club came in I'd expect him to choose them. Just my opinion and I'd be happy to be wrong with it.

Good luck anyway.

Forest Fan in Peace

Firstly I'd agree with most on here that Camp is as good a keeper as any in this division. There's no denying that for his first two seasons he was outstanding for us.
Problems started when McClaren became manager - first he brought expensive contract players that made no mark like Miller and Derbyshire (their salaries probably dwarfed Camp's) and second he denied Camp a move to the premier league with Swansea City. Since then his form has not been anything like as good - making mistakes and not commanding his area - leading to many Forest fans believing that his heart isn't in the club anymore.
Contrary to a previous poster most are pragmatic about the decision to let him go - yes its a shame to lose a good player but on the other hand do you want a half hearted keeper letting in sloppy goals? Also MCcCleish has made his point to other players stalling on contracts.
If he plays to his potential you'll have yourselves a bargain and an excellent keeper. Unlike Chambers who did nothing much to endear himself to the trickies Camp will be missed but I think a move away is what's needed for all parties.
Good luck for the season, I've always had a soft spot for Ipswich since you beat Arsenal in the cup final. Be interesting to see iit works out for him and also for McGoldrick who was never really given much of a chance at Forest.

By strange coincidence it was strongly rumoured that Loach was lined up as Camp's replacement last season if his move to Swansea went ahead.
