I'm a bit concerned by previous attitude and reputation to be honest
It would be a gamble, for sure. But a relatively 'low cost one' and what if it came off.....??
It would be gamble. I remember Akpom and feeling so frustrated by his refusal to pass to anyone and the way he always tried to score from 40 yards. Don't want another Prem kid like that. Problem is, a lot of them are like that as they constantly have their ego and a lot believe they are the bee's knees.
Can't knock DF's record in the market other than Ebecilio so if he does get this one in then I'll back him. It would take a bit of pressure off Assombalonga if DF got someone in who could bang a few goals in.
He would be a poor replacement for Lansbury IMO. Before strett and cainggia get worked up, I did warn that Chris ogrady was Shiite when you signed him. And I'm sure some would agree that he is

BS - I seem to remember you saying that Matt Mills was Shiite as well!!

O'Grady isn't shíite either.
Shiíte players don't win man of the match awards. He is a great squad player.
Anyone who didn't do well at Leicester is shiite clearly.
Which, to be fair until recently, is most of them.

We were warned about Matt mills by reading fans who told us that as great at set pieces as he is, defensively he can have really bad games. We didn't believe them, but they were spot on.
If he's improved for Forest then that's good news, but you'll never convince me he's a top championship player because he would have been snapped up by a promotion chasing club if he was.
O'Grady is pants in my opinion but if Strett wants to continue thinking he's a good replacement for Antonio, fair enough.
I've backed up my thoughts on Powell from other sources - but it's not as if you don't have previous for making some bad signings is it?
Cainggia, turn that filter button back on son there's a good lad

how many MOTM awards has he won since his first game? Squad player now? Seem to remember you holding up O'Grady as evidence of what a great window you'd had.
Your dedication to turning up in places where you're not wanted is exemplary. Almost like you were taught from a young age.

That's just effin rude!
I'm sure there are whinier (is that even a word?) posters out there. I've only ever filtered three people on here and I don't mind negative comments about Forest players if they're justified and not from the same boring place.
Anyway, compared to Arro you're a pretty decent poster on here
Fair play Sph. Unlike caniggia you haven't thrown your toys out of the pram at the merest suggestion a player we used to have isn't that great IMO.
It is only my opinion (and some Bolton fans) but if mills is doing well for forest, fair enough
I'm not sure that mills, O'Grady and the temperamental Nick Powell are signings to shoot you up the table but let's be fair forest are under an embargo

That's a bit like saying compared to Strett you're not a complete bell.
But um....thanks

We're chasing. Whether we've got the ability to get there is a completely different matter!
It's not so much what you say, it's the way you say it and the predictability of it. You come across like an annoying little knowitall who enjoys passing his vast knowledge of how our club is run and how terrible our signings are. I'm not really interested in your opinion unless it's constructive. We've got enough idiots who support Forest without a Leicester fan chipping in. Your within your rights to say whatever you like and I'm within mine to take offence.
Sph I wish I knew what you were on about! Is this like when you accused a Derby fan of being Vidal?
