Antonio


Recommended Posts

I know he gets mixed opinions on here but think its a shame we sold him. I know we got Stevie out of the deal but seems to be having great start to season. Great goal tonite. Won a pen. Assisted Patersons goal. Few goals n assists already this season. Seems to have fit in well there. Would have been interesting to see him play in our new confident style of play. If it's right he wanted to go n play with better players then so be it, hope that bites him in the bum.

I was thinking about starting this thread too

Been on fire for them

What's he got like 5 goals in all comps already + a good few assists

Doing well but think it was time for him to leave tbf least we got stevie may in who's done decent so far

I think we are better without him.

Good luck to him personally, hope he does well.

I agree, he's better off at Forest where he doesn't think everything has to go through him all the time. Good luck to him and all that and I'm sure he'll turn into a solid championship player but Gray clearly didn't like his style of play so imo we're better off without him and with May up front.

Problem is with Antonio we relied on him way too much

At forest he's one of the many talented players

Assombalonga Burke Osborn etc so hes not relied on as heavily

Since he's gone we work as a team and its better for us

Has anyone thought that maybe, just maybe he wouldn't have recreated this form for us had he stayed?

 

Guy has moved on, joined a new club on the up and is playing with arguably as talented a group of players as there is in the entire division. 

 

We ain't exactly made a bad start after selling him on.

He didn't want to be here.

 

My only gripe is that Forest, in hindsight, have had our pants down with the price they paid.

Let's hope we included lots of ridiculous add ons in the deal.  Â£100,000 if he gets 10 goals, £100,000 if they get promoted, 25% of the sell on fee etc.

 

In any case, his legs are too big for him to play many more games without picking up a muscle injury of sorts that will see him out for half the season.

There is a reason he is gone.

If he was playing for a poor team he wouldnt be hitting his current ratio. He is playing for arguably one of the top 2 teams in the league. Better players/teams create more chances.

We used to play the same football with him in the team and when it paid off it was good... When it didnt the amount of times i was away and wanted to scream at him was more often than not.

We play football now.. a better unit.. not conceeding.. and enjoying our best football/season in years.

Right choice so just let it go

He's a good player, but I think he had the wrong attitude for us, he was the "main man" and I don't think Gray wanted people like that.

He's gone to Forest, no longer the main man and actually playing better for it (as well as not having the ball pumped long and told to chase it).

We on the other hand are playing much better without him - win, win situation IMO.

The fee is now looking quite low, but that's football. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

Also, what will help for him at Forest, because they have a few good players, managers can't just turn up and get his team to mark Antonio out of the game, whereas with us you could.
