    Yeah he hasn't had a positive impact impact in two years and as regressing as a player can you say any different?.

    And you think him coming on in the Inter game had a positive impact?.

    Don't know why you are kissing his * we are far better without him these days.

    Ah, so you agree he has actually done something in the last two years?

    You'll probably find that that admission also makes your whole opinion completely invalid.

    So has Tony Watt and look where that got him!

    One goal means * all on a personal level which is what we are talking about so i think my point is still valid.

    It's not just one goal or even one good performance in the last two years though is it?

    I can remember some good performances and goals from him even earlier in the season.

    Some great interplay with Guidetti when he was flying immediately springs to mind.

    I don't see it but that is my opinion.

    Compared to the likes of lustig who has large spells of injury then goes straight in a level above his comparable rivals in the team.

    I had very high hopes for him but it just isnt working.

    I honestly think if we could get him fit we would have a real player on our hands.

    I've seen what he can do and I believe he is capable of that again if he can get free of his injuries.

    I do agree that his time is coming to end soon if he doesn't improve. Not yet though, it makes more sense to keep giving him a chance for now.

    It's alright not to jump on the bandwagon now and again.

    Forrest was quality for us only a few months ago. The fact that he is riddled with injuries doesn't take away from the fact that he's a good footballer. A "special talent" I'm sure Ronny said?

    You can say you want him to leave because he's always injured, but you can't get away from the fact that when he's fit he's, at the very least, a 'good footballer'.

    Although granted I cannot excuse his total lack of effort in the San Siro. That's the first time I've ever seen him do anything like that. I wouldn't rule out that he was just like that to ensure he didn't pull anything as he isn't yet back to full fitness.

    I understand where you are coming from, BUT this guy has been given plenty of chances and plenty of time.
    I know he has had injuries but he shows no desire, or passion whatsoever whenever he does get a sniff in the team.

    I'm not his biggest fan. He can be exciting at times, great pace, decent dribbling, but his injury problems are shocking. I'm under impression that he's scared that he'll get injured again, so he plays it safe. That's simply unacceptable.

    Undoubtedly he's a good footballer, but his mentality is one of the major things I hold against him. When I see him moaning and holding his hands in the air, I get the urge to spend a small fortune on UK visa and plane ticket to Glasgow, so I could smack him in the face.

    One more I don't like about him is lack of directness. Earlier you could see him running at players who knew that they're about to get *, today he plays it safe, try to cut inside... I won't say a word if he actually tries to beat his man and lose every challenge because that's not possible to happen.

    It would be a shame if he fail to establish himself as one of the key players for us because he really posses that potential. If he goes in summer, part of me will be happy because I can't stand anymore to hear that James Forrest is sidelined because he pulled his hamstring.

    I was always for giving him time and understood the injuries, but against Inter Milan was the final straw, showed no passion, we had players who had been on from the start running down every ball fighting to the bitter end and he just felt content to stroll around.
