Nottingham Forest and Peterborough United have had issues in their transfer dealings over the years.

Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has insisted he would do business with Nottingham Forest again.

Forest and Posh have not had the most successful transfer dealings in recent years, after the Reds’ moves for Britt Assombalonga and George Boyd.

Forest first tried to sign Boyd from Peterborough back in 2013, but pulled out of the deal at the very last minute due to him failing an eyesight test during his medical.

Peterborough had signed Boyd’s replacement, thinking that the winger’s move to Forest was on track, only for him to end up back at London Road.

Posh then sold Assombalonga to Forest a year later, and the transfer went through this time, but there were still issues.

The Telegraph reported how Forest were late in paying Posh over £1 million for Assombalonga, as part of the agreed deal.

However, MacAnthony has suggested that he would be open to doing business with Forest again this summer, if the opportunity came about.
