Certainly more team intelligent. I liked Forestieri. Who doesn't like to see a player with a bit of flair. The type to produce a moment. Though equally , for a free transfer I have as many memories of excellent moments of off the hoof flair from Ross Wallace. Forestieri had that spark, sadly after the first season was all too rarely seen. A shame. But quite often the way with these temperamental maestros. Kieron Lee on a pound for pound basis has got to have been the best player, as he was bought for peanuts, extremely committed and was the engine room of the team during our recent success. However (unfortunately) his commitment and CC's reliance on him being in the team cost a few years on his career, as kept coming back early from injury. Then I also feel equally sorry for Barry Bannan, as going forward as was evident against Cardiff he is absolutely immense and they just couldn't get out of their own half. However we 99.9% of the time have him sat back behind the midfield, as a holding midfielder that just can't tackle and is predominantly playing sideways and backward balls so ineffective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal M Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Should have cancelled the ******** contract when he refused to travel to Norwich. 3 1 1 I move a lot of concrete on the QVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Forestieri was brilliant in those first two seasons. In hignsight not selling him is what put us in a financial mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinnssweetshop Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) This... Is all we have... A vvankfest over an old player who to be honest took the p155 out of us all. The clubs in such disarray that all this utter dicksplash of a chairman and his puppet master Paxo has left us... Is this.. FFS UP THE OWLS CHANSIRI OUT!!!

mozzy85 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Give me a fully fit Kieran Lee over FF any day of the week. Consistent performer, model professional, scores, tackles and passes and doesn't spit dummy out. Best player we've had since PL days in my opinion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobayashi Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Chris Brunt was the best player at SWFC since the PL days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewings Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Time was up at Wednesday obviously, had some memorial moments tho... screamer v Norwich was up there with John Harkes goal. A level above anything we have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Carbone and Alexanderson were both at the club after Di Canio left, both far better players than Forestieri. Forestieri should’ve never pulled on a Wednesday shirt again after he refused to get on the coach to Norwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on a contract at the club and being paid a very good wage to do a job and he refused to do it. The guy was an absolute disgrace for what he did and should’ve never played for the club again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you compare that to Billy Sharp’s 93 in 203 for the pigs in the last 5 years it shows you how poor that return was Yep, injuries ruined his time with us. Wasnt referring to value, just his ability. Playing him when he was in our managers words ‘high risk’ for injury as he literally said at the time, then he goes out for months on end a game or two later with a hip injury was madness. Essentially finished him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheff74 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 It cracks me up how some people retrospectively gush all over this guy, through their rose tinted glasses. When he wasn't injured, and when could be arsed, he could be a game changer. But in truth he had one good season, and then he got too big for his boots. He should have been sent packing the day he refused to get on that bus to Norwich, but Carlos was either weak, or most likely was over ruled. He got far, far more from us, than what he ever gave back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Hooper 2 seasons in the 3rd division and he would have 50 more goals and plenty more assists even if he only played in half of the games.
