SIGNED - Jamie Mackie

[Pepe the Horseman]

QPR fans love him.

[leww_rfc]

skysports say we're in talks over a double deal for mackie/cox.

First with the news

[CholseyRoyal]

Sounds as though Mackie would come on loan initially.

Mackie for £1m, Sharp on a free or Murray for £3m? I think I'd rather have Mackie.

I also think Cox is an excellent 3rd option

Would hope Mackie could be got for less than that.

I think it's £1m total for the pair.

Sky sources: Simon Cox and Jamie Mackie both leaving #nffc bound for #Readingfc. Cox will have 2nd medical tmrw. Mackie is season's loan.

Beautiful

Yes please for Mackie, not sure on Cox unless it is a cheap transfer sum

[CholseyRoyal]

Ok we are beginning to look stronger up front, phew, now to strengthen the defence.

[leww_rfc]

Hopefully the loan on Mackie is a 'with a view to permanent', I really rate him.

[Ian Royal]

I think Mackie might be the one to fill the Jobi shaped hole in my heart.

I did see that tweeted somewhere but another inferred it was to cover GMacs absence.. However if it turns out to be a year long loan and assuming it covers the play-off period just in case, it won't make a great deal of difference.

Why would Simon Cox need a second medical? Is that normal?

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Would be chuffed about Mackie - I really rate him.

Mackie & Sharp would be great. Cox can stay at Forest...

This.

Big fan of Jamie Mackie, he's basically Jobi but with a little more footballing ability. Hope it ends up a permanent deal.

Not sure about that. I'd say he's Jobi, just harder and more likely to score, but with less flair. Less of a confidence player as well.

and more time out injured


...but hey

[TheBaldOne]

Tbh think Cox and Mackie are both decent signings but neither are exactly 20 goal a season strikers at this level and neither is Pog so struggle to see who is going to fill the Le Fondre void.

[DaveBanana]

Not long ago we didnt know if we'd be going into administration, then whether or not we'd have a chance to bring players in before January - aside from the lack of time for pre-season integration, I'd be more than happy to see these go through, and seem much more like "Adkins" signings than anything else, which has to be a good thing.

Because Le Fondre always scored over 20 goals per season...

[kwik-silva]

I think the main issue is that neither of them are 10+ strikers
