james o connor Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Funny how he’s looking sharp and injury free for the first time in years as it comes up to contract time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often happens, but surely putting himself in the shop window for a contract elsewhere. As long as we benefit for the last dozen or so games.

He gets kicked all over the place and over time has obviously acquired injuries which have weakened his legs. Agreed he isn't the player he was but still better than most that we have in skill levels. From Chief Executive Forestieri fan club. Yes, but whatever the reason is for his poor appearance record the fact remains we pay him a lot of money for fewer games that what we would agree is acceptable. His talent is beyond question but you need to be able to couple that with consistency and we’ve not had that Forestieri for too long. Let’s not be sad that it’s over, let’s appreciate that we had him in the first place.

Holmowl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Our last 136 league games. Played 2690 mins = 30 games Missed 9550 mins = 106 games A new contract for this 30 year old from this ailing club would be lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course it does, makes me laugh how he’s being painted as some kind of hero when in reality he’s one of the biggest drains in resource we’ve been lumbered with over the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Was good yesterday, for me MOTM. I just wish he was more consistent. Can’t help but feel in the back of my mind he’s only trying now to earn a new contract. Let’s hope he can continue like he performed today and if he does get a new contract that he plays like we know he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Needs to go alongside just about every other out of contract player in the summer bar Morgan Fox. Overpaid, petulant and he cannot be relied upon. He is a great talent but we need to be absolutely ruthless in the summer and rebuild this squad with hungry, young and athletic players on sensible wages. Old model has failed and the old guard need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hope he plays well until the end of the season and therefore will get the best move possible for his sake and all our sakes. Played well yesterday and long may it continue until he leaves in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no actual evidence, to suggest the accusations made over the last couple of seasons are true, this guy has been a huge scapegoat. The only difference is this guy is a quality football player. Agreed...best player we have by a country mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 One of only two or three of our players who could get another decent championship club and contract. Bannan, Fletcher and possibly Westwood are the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pleased with him and for him today. Really showed a fine attitude and desire to succeed would love him to continue in this vein for the rest of the season and for us to give him another year yeah but his goal was only a penalty...apparently they don’t count to some on here.

How many minutes has 31 year old Kieran Lee missed in our last 136 games, yet he was given a new contract? Do you consider Lee's contract as 'lunacy' as well. I'm not saying that I think granting Lee a contract was wrong, by the way, just using it as comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Enjoy him while he’s here and playing because it’s gonna be a long time before we get a player like him again. We had to wait nearly 20 years for him and with the current decline the club is on it could be the same again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Hilarious stuff. Comes and plays one decent game and now it's a case of hoping he continues for the next couple of months to give him a new deal... And then people wonder why we are in the position we now. One of our highest earners who offers absolutely nothing 85% of the time. Should be one of the first out of the door Edited February 23, 2020 by poite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 FF should be one of the first players out of the door in the summer. His overall contribution for the last three years has been sub-par. Club should have cashed the chips after the Norwich debacle in 2016, not give him a lucrative new contract.

If FF will accept a 1 year contract like Lee on the same money as Lee I would consider keeping him Edited February 23, 2020 by oldishowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
