George Wood signed an eight-year contract. Nottingham Forest's fans were happy to see that the young player had placed his future in Nottingham Forest instead of going elsewhere for money.
After settling Wood's contract, Tang En also managed to secure the purchase of another important player.
That concerned Ashley Young. When Nottingham Forest first offered five hundred thousand pounds, Watford was not moved at all. Nottingham Forest offered six hundred thousand pounds the second time, but Watford still remained unmoved.
This time, the effect of the one hundred thousand pounds which Allan Adams had given to Ashley Young finally kicked in. Ashley Young made it very clear to Watford club that he wanted them to let him go to Nottingham Forest. That was because he was currently unable to play in any matches there, and he was already eighteen years old. If he was unable to get sufficient play time on the field, he wouldn't be able to improve his skills.
