Sheriff of Nottingham Forest?

The Nottingham Forest strike force. Finley on far left.

We've already devoted more words on this site that we would have originally imagined to the oft-maligned forward, Robbie Finley. Now he's off making us look like fool!

Definitely not on the field, of course, but in the world of transfer rumors; the "silly season" as it is referred to, anything can happen.

Yesterday we wrote about the Finley's possible move to Wolverhampton, as reported by the Daily Mail. Now a more reliable report from Sky Sports, and backed up by our friends as "The Shin Guardian" (who we consider the be-all-end-all of determining the legitimacy of such "silly season" reports) has Finley moving to Championship side Nottingham Forest.

Whether Wolves or Forest we're still holding back judgement on Finley in England.

We're waiting for you to prove us wrong, Robert.

MLS Rumors: Finley to EPL's Wolverhampton?

Rumors out of England have former Real Salt Lake forward and USMNT World Cup flop Robbie Finley catching the eye of Wolverhampton Wolves coach Mick McCarthy.

The Daily Mail (UK) reports that Finley impressed the Wolves manager during this past summer's World Cup.

We're all for Americans moving aboard if it helps their development, their contribution to the National Team, and raises the profile of the sport at home, but this little tidbit has us perplexed. Finley was completely ineffective up top for the Yanks in South Africa (we would've rather seen Edson Buddle given his hot streak in MLS) and contributed to the second straight scoreless World Cup for U.S. strikers.


What, exactly, that McCarthy saw from Finley in June (and the rest of his MLS season) that would warrant a run out in England has us running back to this summer's game tapes.

We'll happily eat crow if Finley proves us wrong, but at this moment we're thinking this looks a bit weird from this side of the pond.
