SuperMikey Posted 10 March, 2013 Author Share Posted 10 March, 2013 It's what we signed him for. Forest have said they don't want to spend big, like when Markus & Nicola took over here. They'll spend the right fee on the right players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Saint Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 We piad £1.8m didn't we? He's barely played since Davies took over so unconvinced they'll make it permanent despite this article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 11 March, 2013 Share Posted 11 March, 2013 He's barely played since Davies took over so unconvinced they'll make it permanent despite this article. He has started one game, that was Davies's first, and he took him off. Has been on the bench since then so hasn't started a game for a month. Would be surprised if this was true given that.

david in sweden Posted 11 March, 2013 Share Posted 11 March, 2013 Really why? IMO....because I don't believe it's in his nature...and besides Forest need Billy more than we do...and so it's a seller's market. If Billy goes for anything less than his * original fee, there will be a part-ex, or something of the sort. If I'm wrong, we can discuss it after the deal has been done.

Given that people have been going on and on about the fact we've spent £30m+ on transfers this season, I think to come out with a £1m profit at the end of 6 months is f*cking brilliant!

(if pressed I could probably give you a list to prove it ). Don't bother Dave, only name required is Jon Forte (aka Jonno Quick). Jonno was certainly quick in scoring when he came on against MKD and the rest is history. A brief cameo that ended up in a 90 million pay day!

david in sweden Posted 16 March, 2013 Share Posted 16 March, 2013 (edited) Ok, you are entitled to your opinion... I for one think that we in two years time will look back thinking those £7m was a bargain. I think that makes two of us Olallana, True.Jay Rod took time to settle after the summer, (but he's surely wasn't alone there). Of late, he's looked a totally different player, and just because he hasn't been on the score sheet (not alone there either) it's hard to criticise him because of that. Rickie is (and rightly so) the key man ...and Jay Rod will need to wait till his time comes before we get a chance to see him perform in the " Rickie-role " Looking back 10-12 years, I recall that a certain J. Beattie was being touted as a waste of space after his £1 million signing and it took almost three seasons before we saw the " best of Beattie " in all honesty, the player who most concerns me on the " lack of goals " category is Adam Lallana. I'd join many others in praising his skill and bravery but his goals / shots tally.... must be appalling. I recall the home game v.Wigan.. .where he had enough shots to win three games.. and yet we lost 0-2. Criticism of players shouldn't be levelled at the player. He only signs the contract (whether it's a free, or £12 million)... the people to aim comments at are those who scouted / signed them. As for Billy (this thread is about him - after all ). Looking at last seasons stats.... he DAJFU when it was most needed, and if only for that was worth every penny ..and more. If he can do the same for Forest .or any other club, he'll be worth the investment. IF we do sell him (as seems likely ) .....hope we get a % of his next sale-on..it might amount to something. .

Restark19 Posted 16 March, 2013 Share Posted 16 March, 2013 IF we go down I'd love to have Billy back in the squad. Top quality championship player for me and a great bloke. I'd rather have him sat on the bench than Mayuka who at the moment seems a massive waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 5 May, 2013 Share Posted 5 May, 2013 So with Forest's season now over, can Poch now call on Billy's services or is it the case that because we didn't include him in our 25, we can't use now. Or does it depend on whether you've used up your full complement of 25 and can add others, if not? Could do with his poachers instinct at the mo, given our lack of goals in the last 4 games. Mayuka hasn't looked that likely IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically he may be eligible if MP wanted him, but seems unlikely based on form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 I thought he was supposed to be good enough for the premier league? he's nothing more than an average championship player - dead wood to us I don't agree. He only got a brief substitution appearance for us in the Premiership at the beginning of the season so we will never really know, and we certainly can't guess that he would not have made a decent Premiership player on that basis. We do know he was top scorer during the pre-season, and he would have been a darn better player than the disappointing Mayuka, who was unwisely brought in so Sharp had to go. Sharp might be as slow as Lambert, but what a goal poacher he was! He would have not scuffed as many shots as we have done in our last three matches. It's a shame that we never saw him pairing upfront with JayRod who had the pace to provide him the service imho. Some say he only scored 10 goals last year in the Championship's but he had been out with injury for half the season, and this year he seems to have fallen out with numpty Davis and is not getting starts. He has had a disappointing year (it's a tough game) and I can only wish him well. If we are relegated we would be better off with him in the squad that Mayuka.
