theowlsman Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 You're right that i think some don't realise just how good he can be I'm gonna go out on a limb here and leave myself wide open to the thread bumpers - but if this guy has head on right then we have signed by some distance the best player we have owned since the premier league days I described him yesterday as like letting off a hand grenade in the opposition defence - he can be unplayable I remember going to games in the 90's and no matter who we were playing i always felt we could win the game - because of a certain young Mr Hirst I think Wednesday fans can feel similarly about this guy - even when winning games seem to be miles away from us - he can make things happen from absolutely nothing I do have a couple of caveats but i just wanna bask in the enormous positives of us signing this guy This is the real deal - 100% Great assessment Scram.

SiJ Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Very excited. Hope he can hit the ground running and provide a much needed spark offensively. We've got some good players at the club, some real good players. Just need them to gel now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Based upon the reputation that Forestieri has earned himself and albeit the few times I have seen him play, I believe that this is the biggest signing we have made in the last 15 to 18 years. I still can't believe we've signed him. We've must build the team around him now. Everyone should dance to his tune in the same way that Man Utd did with Cantona, Arsenal did with Henry, Real Madrid do with Ronaldo and Barca do with Messi. That's how we can win promotion.

shandypants Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Also, I must add that he could be the player that attracts other quality forwards. For example (and only that), I would imagine Rhodes would love to play alongside Forestieri and have the majority of his goal scoring chances "laid on a plate".

Guest UpTheOwlsss Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We can afford a player like him easily with semedo lee Wallace sougou behind him who are all solid and hardworking we need a flair player Solid defence with turner lees Palmer Pudil Goalscorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB31 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 So happy with this signing. I'd have been delighted to get him on loan but this is fantastic. Fair to say we've marvelled at a few of Watford's players when they've come to Hillsborough in recent seasons and Forestieri's probably the main one that seems to have stuck in the mind for us. It's the kind of signing that has seemed a million miles away for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I didn't really think we had a good chance of signing Vydra I do now With FF and his best mate Pudil here i can see him being tempted - my guess it would be an emergency loan though If only we'd signed Toszer (as i advocated in the summer) - then if we did have those 2 i think we'd have a very strong claim to have the best team in the division nevertheless - its getting closer...

Whitechapel Owl Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Some comments from the Watford fans, looks like we've got ourselves a player boys and girls: "A little legend. Hope he tears it up at SW and gets them promoted." "I loved Fessi. This makes me sad. That is all." "I refuse to accept his change of clubs. As far as I'm concerned he's a Watford player and I will be filing a complaint to the FA every time he plays for this Sheffield Wednesday outfit." "I'm actually suffering from depression" "Good luck Fernando, will always be looking out for your skills with SW." "Promotion wasn't worth it" "It hurts" ""While we've seen many players leave the club over the last few years, Fernando has undoubtedly been one of my favourite players of the modern Watford era. I loved watching him in a Watford shirt and, for me, he epitomised the exciting promise of our new owners back in the first Zola season. I'm going to miss him and I hope he does well at Wednesday. He was instrumental in the infamous Leicester goal and has left us so many great memories, from skillful to comical. He may not be perfect, but he was wonderful to watch at his best.Thanks, Fernando. Best of luck for the future...and watch out for snowdrifts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
