    He's absolutely hopeless here . The worst scenario he can be in is against a parked bus , which is what we face most weeks domestically . The only time he can look good is when a game is stretched , end to end , open space .

    Parked bus and no space he's worse than useless.

    Bit of space and enough room to run with the ball he can do well.

    Similar to Sammy in that sense. Least Sammy was 6'4 and could do a bit more though.

    I agree. Away in Europe he is our only real outball. He's still of massive use to us in the future.

    He's one of these players who seem to get worse as they mature. He still seems to be to some "a great prospect". He's only a couple of weeks younger than big Vic

    He'd be lost in the Premier League.

    He's * rotten.

    He'd never make it in the EPL. One thing that is demanded of you down there is effort.

    Think the league suits him down to a tee. Each to their own though.

    He wouldn't even make the bench of an EPL club.

    I honestly think his level is the likes of Cardiff or Leeds.

    What's the latest with his contract issue anyway? Did he turn one down? I'm sure he was offered one by the club, I remember Deila saying that.

    Think he'd be better in the Premiership than he would the Championship. Anywhere there's space in the final third he does fine, regardless of the level. He just literally cannot handle not having space to run into.

    I thought he played quite well when Allan and Christie came on, he likes to come inside and link the play and with they two there is real possibilities for that - I can remember him linking really well with Allan in a game a few weeks ago.

    I think he'd do well being played through the middle but that'll never happen. He takes a lot of stick on here especially of the last few weeks when he's barely played, he was by no means worse than anyone else on the park and as I said I thought he played quite well towards the end and could have had a couple of goals.

    I know it's pathetic but see when he does something * like runs the ball out the park or hits a * shot or cross & the camera cuts to him and there is literally no expression on his face as if he couldn't give a * then he immediately fiddles with his hair ahhhhhhh :47: it drives me * barmy. He honestly does not put in half the effort he should. Fed up hoping with him.

    The smartest move Forrest could make would be to sign that contract. If he leaves here he's destined for lower league obscurity down in England. EPL is chock full of speedsters & 100% of them have a better end product & attitude than Forrest does. Guy is freeloading it here.
