Sith Happens Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 20 hours ago, Forest187 said: We have been chasing him for a long while now and he really looks the business. Out of all the players we have signed, this guy is the one I am most excited about. It's worth noting too he isn't a striker, he's a winger. He average's a goal every other game at every level (international & club) he's played out from out wide and has turned down a lot of offers (in China & Saudi in particular) to come here. Hopefully for us he will surprise a few people. To be fair it was the promise his family home wouldn't meet a firey demise if he signed for forest.

His scoring record is good, albeit it mainly in the Croatian league. I'm not sure saying that he's turned down offers in China & Saudi is all that much to boast about tbh! I'd have to ask why, starting with the 2013/14 season he's only managed to appear in 64 of Zagreb's 180 matches, or his highest number of appearances for club and country combined in any one season is 27. Injuries? He's the Algerian Adam Le Fondre and simply isn't good enough at anything other than scoring to be worth playing regularly? Is he cut out for the Championship or will he be just as bad as the Algerians brought in by Al Hasawi? Only time will tell. Feel free to bookmark. When he gets infront of bambi on ice AKA Andre Wisdom to score a backpost winner at Pride Park i'll be sure to bring it up. Dunno where you are getting your stats from. He's "only appeared in 64 of Zagreb's 180 matches" yet played 196 games for them since the time you mentioned. And I can guarantee he will be better than Djebbour & Abdoun, that whole thing was a farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season could go either way at the minute. Hoping the farce continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to get yourself all excited. PS, I'm not sure you understand how to apply the Bambi on Ice insult properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GadFly Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Just signed a left back... And it's not Fabio. Not sure where that one came from, seemed to be out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 How many players has Karanka actually singed since he took over? He signed god knows how many in January. They’ve had a few years in doldrums now they’re going crazy with the money again ready for the next embargo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness, boro, villa fulham were all better than us. Villa would have finished 2nd with a decent manager. Bruce is a manager that relies on his team being 10000x better than the rest just to scrape promotion from the play offs, Any half decent manager would have got Villa promoted last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their team is near enough complete starting 11 wise now, just a striker like Grabban and then Byram to sign and they're about done I still think even without signings and Vydra and Weimann going we aren't too far off them in terms of quality in the starting 11. We just really need to improve in attack after the departures, some younger legs in midfield and a new left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want something that'll look nice when the inevitable formation thread pops up following the transfer window closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Nixon tweeting Birmingham are throwing £5m into the hat for Grabban, if true, Forest or Birmingham, comes down to what colour shirt do you fancy for the relegation battle red or blue. I’d go blue, proper old school ground as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
