It's official! Neil Lennon is a Forest player, and I have to say well done to the Club for showing a little bit of ambition for once.
I am sure the capture of Lennon will appease a few people who might have otherwise chosen not to renew their season ticket. He may be almost 36, but age is just a number, and he is quite capable of being just as good as somebody ten years younger.
The football world seems a bit shocked that Forest have managed to sign him. We even had the main headline on the football page on teletext today! Newly promoted Sunderland were also after him, as were several Championship clubs, so Forest have pulled off a bit of a coup, taking into account their lowly League position.
Lennon says that it's all down to Colin Calderwood that he has decided to join. I don't understand where all this praise for Calderwood is coming from, though. But you cannot deny his transfer dealings have all been very good so far. It's just a shame that he has no idea how to get the best out of them.
I would hope that Calderwood can bring himself to take the captain's armband away from Breckin and give it to Lennon instead. It would be great to have a captain in midfield, as we are crying out for leadership in that area, and Lennon would do a very good job, just as he did at Celtic. If Calderwood has any sense at all, that's what he will do, and if rumours are correct that he's had a bit of a set-to with Breckin, then the decision will be very easy for him.
