Nottingham Forest can confirm that James Perch has joined Premier League new boys Newcastle United, subject to a medical.

Newcastle have agreed a fee for the versatile 24 year old, who is on Tyneside to complete the formalities of his switch. Mansfield-born Perch, a graduate of the acclaimed Forest Academy system, made more than 200 appearances for The Reds and also captained the side.

Forest's Chief Executive Mark Arthur said: "James has been a marvellous servant for Nottingham Forest.

"He made it clear that the prospect of a move into the Premier League with Newcastle appealed to him and we couldn't stand in his way.

"I would like to thank him for the service he has given us and wish him all the very best with Newcastle."

Perch had a year left on his existing Forest contract.

Pilko is too bright for such a young guy.

Why do I feel underwhelmed? Didn't we go in for him in the January window?

Had a cracking game at SJP, which is the only time I've seen him. Happy with the signing, shows us that Hughton doesn't rate Simpson as a Prem class.

Actually played everywhere:

Quote
Though he started off a striker in the Forest academy, he was moved to right-back as a cover and played well there he's also known for being good in goal. The right-back position stuck for a while, but when he broke into the first team, he played as a central defender. In 2004, the versatile player was linked with a move to Levante but the move never materialised. Early in the 2005/2006 season he found himself at left-back to cover for an injured John Curtis, but has since gone on to play in a more defensive midfield role, and also played on both wings.

...if Wikipedia is to be believed.

Can play right back and defensive midfield so will add some depth to the squad. Underwhelming but it's a start.
It's basically what gives us the upper hand even in times of crisis. "Cannit wait man, we're gonna batter them, hope it's 4 or 5 nil, fancy such and such for a hat trick, we're going got Europe, they're a yo-yo team" Then five minutes into the game "s***, why haven't we scored? They've had a shot! Why aren't we all over them? How come there are two teams in the game? f***, what if we don't win? f***s SAKE CLEAR IT SHOOT TACKLE HIM BOO! What if we lose, PANIC PANIC BRUCE MAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHY DID HE MISS THAT SHOT, IS HE A MAG?! IT'S BECAUSE BRUCE IS A MAG! f*** OFF STEWARD ARE YOU A f***ing MAG? BET ALL THESE COPPERS ARE MAGS, AND THE MEDIA! THE REF'S A f***ing MAG! AM I A MAG?! Wait, blacked out for a second there. Ah, f***, we've lost again."

Another body is good, lets hope he can cut it in the big league.

Clearly we won't need any other signings and can afford to sell Harper to Celtic

I'm pleased we are genuinely in the market, but was hoping for someone proven.  What it does show is that we won't be getting an Enrique equivalent on the right.  That's disappointing but he's better than nowt.

His talent will always be a question mark, until we have seen him play.

The good news is that we have filled a problem position, with someone who has a seemingly good attitude, for very little money.

I can say quite confidently that i don't how good he is, although i wouldn't believe a word of what forest fans think. At least we are moving in the transfer window.

If he plays like he did for the first 45 against us he'll be a good signing. Can mainly see him being bench fodder like.

Three days not sleeping, not eating, not feeling good any more, drenched in sweat and self-pity. It’s not a pretty sight.
