oh_weds_we_love_you Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Was happy to give him a second chance after the Villa/Norwich nonsense, but imagine if we'd cashed in then - £12m and £25k a week off the wage bill - how much healthier position we might be in today Said it time and again, but the biggest improvement our club needs to make is to sell players when we think their value is at it's optimum. We'll let Forestieri move on a free transfer in the summer having also paid his salary for 2 years minimum of absolutely nothing. That sort of business deal is suicidal.

I said at the time of the Norwich saga we should sell him, I can remember being furious when some random bloke with Derby connections informed us that he wouldn't be in the squad for that game and he wasn't. In any line of business a £10-£12million return on a £3million investment over 12 months is tremendous, we could have gone out and got 3 top Championship players with that.

Love him to bits, but think its time for a fresh start for him and us. Will always be grateful for the good times but time to move on sadly.

Mr. Tom Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Folk acting like we’ve not had our money’s worth out of him forget that he’s been a one-man soap opera for three years - not easy coming up with a new plot twist or cliffhanger ending every other week. BBC spent loads more on El Dorado and it was way more boring. The writing has been consistently innovative, daring and entertaining, just this side of TOO far-fetched. Assuming the Villa/Norwich stuff was his obligatory ‘evil twin’ plot line playing out, now we’re just waiting to find out he has recurring Christmas amnesia and forgets how to kick for 3 weeks every year. Also he’s up the duff but not sure which of the lads done it. Wonder how he’ll choose to write himself out of season 5 as his main story arc runs out of juice - not exactly the sort of character you can just replace with a completely different actor and carry on hoping nobody notices. Personally I think he might go for the full Thelma & Louise with Winnall. Top of ski slope on BMXs. Edited January 8, 2020 by Mr. Tom 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old DC To be fair, Mr Chansiri would also have got a kick in from fans had he sold Forestieri for £12m, and he fired Derby to the Prem and was worth double what we'd sold for! Tough gig being a football club Chairman I suspect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhubarb n Custard Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Bit one sided this....Yes FF is a flawed character, done a few naughty things and his time is probs up, but he's South American ffs - he's bound to get his lip out if being overlooked. That said I agree that his times probably up ...but lest we forget he.... Scored some amazing worldies in his time with us Bagged 40 league goals in just 93 appearances Compare that to the value we've had from JR... Routinely frightens the poop out of defenders Had a undeservedly rough ride with officials & the EFL Has been one of the most exciting and memorable players for some time Got kicked to next week and back most games with little or no protection Never refused to take a penalty Attended reserve / youth games in his own time Sourced his own treatment when injured ( saving the club thruppence ha'penny out of the pitiful medical budget ) Boring myself now but he's not been half bad for us really even if we're done with him. #shortmemories #negaway 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 He"s hardly played this season but when fit should play ahead of the Three Stooges. Even if his attutude is poor he puts more effort in than those three. If Fletcher is still unavailable on Saturday I dread what will happen. Will we go back to Joss tactics and play without a forward? We need FF back for Saturday ironically. Leeds will fall about laughing if any of the Three Stooges get a game.

shezzas left peg Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 It's one of those for me, it's like having the best player in the world who never plays, it's pointless as he dosent add anything to your season apart from an odd moment of brilliance on a few occasions over the season. I'd rather have a good solid pro on less wages that puts 100% in and plays almost every single game and contributes week in week out to the team and results. There's the difference on why the piggies passed us on their way up. We signed too many of the first one, whilst they were signing the latter.

doubleo Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Well he’s got about 4 months to prove us all wrong. I don’t think he’s got the gumption to even do that. He’ll just fade away in a whimper. Shame because he’s still got 2 or 3 years in him if he got his act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Would you play Winnall Nuhiu or Rhodes ahead of FF on Saturday if he's fit? We all know he would be a greater threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
