This is Futbol have rounded up the best tweets from a section of Forest fans on the signing of Colback:
Quality signing, fantastic work again behind the scenes. Some won’t realise how good this is, but to let the forward talent we now have do their thing, you need a solid defensive midfield. He was brilliant for us at the end of the season, if you understand the position he plays

OPINION
This section of Nottingham Forest fans seem to be very happy with the signing and so they should. The 28-year-old is a top player who could probably still play Premier League football but the fact that he wants to join up with Forest again and be part of their promotion push next season is a massive boost to the club. Colback joining from Newcastle United shows the level of ambition at The City Ground at the moment, that club wants to push on and aim high in the next few years, this signing will be a great addition to that project.
