[Confirmed] Jonathan Forte signs

[blader]

"He has great potential", so perhaps it's not the one that wasn't good enough for us before?

UTB.

As I've already said though, we're 2 divisions lower than when we released him to be fair to the guy. Yes, he wasn't good enough for the prem/ top of the championship, but now we're a slightly better than average league 1 side. I think he'll be an improvement on Flynn or alongside Kitson if he's put up top.

 

[Kempy]

Potentail???????, he's fecking 26!!!!! you say potential to a 18-23 yr old, the lads shite ! Play diego or ironside ffs!! Dont even bother wasting anything on him, christ.......

 

[tommy]

Just signed him on loan .

 

[SE1Blade]

Underwhelmed. Worse than Cofie who we had til the end of the season and sent back!

 

[secretchief]

This is like a bad dream.

 

[LA Blade]

This is United!

 

[Kempy]

This is like a bad dream.

Unfortunatly its reality mate and i predicted it like many others did in the initial Blackman thread, its just amazing how stupid and backward a few people in charge can be... Bye bye championship, bye bye Long, mcguire, Diego, Ironside , Miller in the next years/months to come.. Hello League one for many more seasons

 

[Wards]

I dont know whether to laugh, cry or to just stop fucking caring altogether.

You do know I was joking, right?

I don't know what to believe at the moment alco... im in fecking despair

 

[metalblade]

And fuckin Robson signs too wonder if it's a 3 yr contract Jesus wept

 

[upton blade]

another joke of a loan signing , victor meldrew! i dont belieeeeeve it!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhh i hope im having a nightmare

 

[Jon Bon]

To be honest,he's not done bad at this level with the clubs he's been with since Warnock released him,scoring against us at least once,but who's next ? Tyrone Thompson? Ian Ross?

Has anyone got Trenton Wiggan's phone number....

 

[LoughboroBlade]

And fuckin Robson signs too wonder if it's a 3 yr contract Jesus wept

It's to the end of the season. Cue moaners on about Doyle's contract criticising how this isn't a longer deal.

Jesus wept.

 

[MattBlade]

so from BWP to Jonathon forte... cant say im surprised

 

[metalblade]

Wonder what Chris Guthrie is up to these days ?

 

[ponteblade]

good ole blades still going backwards, can we get martin peters back as well?

 

[gavtheblade]

if he scores the winner tommorow night you`ll all love to see him back!!!!

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

great signing! well done the chuckle brothers! on loan too, makes much more sense to see if he can do a job for us before committing. this could be the signing to get us promoted!

well, people say i always moan about everything we do. so i may as well be positive...

 

[mattbianco1]

Welcome back and good luck to the lad but I don't think 41 goals in 263 appearances qualifies Mr Wilson's summary:

"His goalscoring record is very good and hopefully he can improve that back in Sheffield with us - he is undoubtedly a player with great potential."

A goal every 6.4 games. Yes I hope it does improve or will those 3 goals til the end of the season be enough?

41 goals.. most from the wing

 

[stannyblade]

8 goals in 22 games last season. That is comparable to the player he has replaced.

 

[j j]

Potentail???????

Spelling not your Forte?

 

[alcoblade]

8 goals in 22 games last season. That is comparable to the player he has replaced.

Yep, that's why we pipped Palace, Reading and Sunderland to Forte's signature. Radio. 5 were discussing what a good buy Reading had made last night. Just wait until the news about Forte gets out

UTB

 

[BerksBlade]

Just scanning through Sky Sports text to see if we'd signed anyone (BWP perhaps). Find out we've got Forte instead. Jesus H Christ - is this what it's come to? Hope he does well, but he never really did owt with us & hasn't written any headlines since. Feel completely underwhelmed (and there's still time for us to sell Maguire).
I wonder if Ryan France has been keeping himself fit? Could do a job.....




.....polishing the empty seats at the Lane....

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Wonder what Chris Guthrie is up to these days ?

Whatever it is be more than what he ever did for us.

 

[Latters]

If he does well (sorry to put this crazy scenario out there) but have we agreed any sort of deal to sign him permanently?

I definitely wouldn't call myself optimistic when it comes to the Blades but I actually don't think Forte's a bad signing. He's properly quick and he's a lot stronger than when he left us. He's improved, we've got worse, hopefully we are meeting at some point where he can be an asset.

Blackman is obviously better and I think it's dog shit that we've sold him, but we have, McCabe is still just a tosser but I'm hoping JF can do alright for us.

 

[Jehovah]

Good luck Forte and welcome back.

 

[broomhillblade]

I have a pal who's a Notts County supporter. He said Forte did very well for them on his loan spell, and rates him highly.

(PS Didn't he score a hat-trick for them in one game?)

I moaned at the length of Doyle's contract. I am happy with what we've offered Robson. More than anything he may be the type of character who will demand more from some of our players who in some games have looked less up for it than the opposition.
