Nottingham Forest new-boy is ecstatic at joining the Reds. The Nottingham-born attacking midfielder has stated that he has always wanted to play for this club and that, at the end of the day a move to The City Ground was too good to turn down. Commons said: "I had five or six great years at Stoke and it was very hard to leave but the contract negotiations had been going on for about 18 months and perhaps Stoke didn't make enough effort to keep me. "They kept telling the papers they wanted to keep me but there were only one or two things I'd asked for in my contract and they didn't seem prepared to do accommodate that. "Then Forest came in for me and it was a case of instant excitement. It's always nice to have a new challenge, meet new people, and Forest are a massive club so I'm looking forward to the season a great deal." Kris Commons' enthusiasm seems promising, and with the player proving to be such a favourite during his time with Stoke City- surely he should prove to be more than an adequate replacement for Gareth Williams.
