Stoke City's Nottingham-born midfielder and Forest target Kris Commons has until Tuesday to sign for The Potters- meaning that we could be expecting some very good news shortly.

The promising youngster has said that signing for The Reds would be a dream come true as he was a supporter as a child- and has also said that Stoke City would need to offer him a much improved contract if he is to stay with them.

Taking into account everything that's been said, the stature of the clubs and the money that Joe Kinnear has been handed by Nigel Doughty- I'd say it would be mor likely that he will sign for us and that we should be expecting some very good news shortly.
