Federici may still get his move to Forest

Adam Federici has been seen in the last few weeks warming up with the other Bournemouth keepers before Premier League games. He is now fit and ready to play and with goal keeping duties already well served with Asmir Begovic and Artur Boruc installed as the Bournemouth regulars there is little reason for Eddie Howe to keep hold of Federici anymore and Nottingham Forest are still said to be interested, even though they have had a change of manager.

Federici is ready to resume his career.

Aitor Karanka, who replaced Mark Waburton, in January is going to be considering his options at Nottingham Forest and if a goal keeper is still his main concern then he will surely look at Federici if he is aware of how close he was to joining Forest at the start of the season. Federici has not played a massive part on the field for the Cherries since he signed from Reading, but he has been a massive part of the team when it came to training and being around other players. If Artur Boruc had not been ahead of him, Federici might have built up more of a bond with AFCB fans, but I expect when he does leave it will not be a huge loss for us.

What I did like about Federici is that he never said much in the press but kept himself to himself and did his job. The fact that injury robbed him of some of his playing time is not anything he could do much about, but he will certainly get lost of games if he does go to a Championship side.

Keepers tend to get better with age they say, so 32-year-old Federici might find his next challenge is one where he plays some of the best football of his career. Given the choice between a Championship team and playing third fiddle to Begovic and Boruc, I'm sure Federici will want to move in this window.

In other news, the Spurs home game has been moved to Sunday 11 March at 4pm.
