Mcphail reunited with Hart

Leeds' Irish midfielder Stephen Mcphail has joined Nottingham Forest on a 3 month loan deal. No news yet at to whether this could lead to a permanant move. Forest boss Paul Hart knows McPhail well from his days as the Leeds youth team coach, and rated the Irishman highly. Mcphail doesn't seem to figure in Peter Reids plans, and the loan move could well lead to a permanant deal, although this hasn't been made clear yet. I'm a bg fan of Macca, and would love to have seen him get a chance alongside a worker such as Batty or Morris. He is by far the best passer at the club, and rarely gives the ball away - he is another player who needs a run in the side to build his confidence. Whether or not we've seen the last of him remains to be seen. So that's Camara, Sakho, Domi and Pennant in on loan, and Mills, McPhail, Kilgallon and Singh out on loan - what ever happened to transfers????
