Just had this through from a Forest fan on Nicky Shorey:
Livid that you’ve nicked him from us. He’s a class act and should do really well at Fulham. The only reason he wasn’t in the Villa team is because of Stephen Warnock – he’s been capped twice by England and played in the Prem with Reading.
He is a composed player and very clever. His great footballing brain meant he was a playmaker for us from left back! He’ll definitely do well for you.
Very encouraging.
I back up that last post…god only knows why we did not try to secure shoreys services…he is a class act. It is our loss and your gain…
Thanks for that. All the best for the rest of the season – would be great to have Forest in the top flight again!
Forest’s minimum requirement in the transfer window was to SIGN NICKY SHOREY. Failed. He was a class act at left back, we played some of the best football seen at the City Ground in 15 years. We looked balanced in defence and dangerous in attack. Now iam not saying our promotion charge will hit the buffers because of loosing one player – but playing a square peg in round hole will definately not enhance our chances!!!
