Welsh international and former Cardiff City defender Chris Gunter has this morning joined Championship strugglers Nottingham Forest on loan for the rest of the campaign from Spurs.
Gunter, still just 19 years old, had a dream move from Ninian Park to White Hart Lane in January 2008, a move that boosted Bluebird coffers by £2M.
Despite his talent and being feted by City fans in general, Gunter never quite got the break under Dave Jones (the pic here is Gunter amongst City fans at Charlton last season weeks before his transfer as Jones didn't use him in the 16).
He has got more football at Spurs playing 12 times this season and last playing in both UEFA Cup ties against Shaktar Donetsk just 3 weeks ago but with Harry Redknapp now in charge and new players brought in pushing Gunts further down the pecking order, he knew he was unlikely to feature again this season.
Although still young, you do wonder if Gunter is going to make it big. He was publicly offered to Chamapinship clubs by Spurs, is it an indictment that it was one of the strugglers who took up the opportunity??
