If you were Divock Origi, you’d be in prison for impersonating a professional footballer.

If I was Divock Origi I'd wake up laughing every day at how I was burgling a living.
And I'd have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for that pesky Militadis.

Felipe and Boly are unavailable so often they’ve effectively left already. I’d like us to keep Worrall, especially as we’re probably back in the Champo next season.

If I was playing instead of Divock Origi we’d have won 3-2 last week
And I’m a 45 year old with two left feet. Both are shaped like Toblerones and I haven’t played football since primary school

I agree. Not really sure we'd make any substantial money in selling Worrall at this point anyway, and as much as I rate Felipe and Boly they aren't much good to us if they are barely fit enough to feature.

You’ll probably get a call in the summer.

Yeah I’d be ok with that even in the Premier League as long as we keep Murillo.
Happy to let both Boly and Felipe go (Felipe’s retiring anyway of course), it was just the ‘not replacing them’ bit I was questioning. We’ll need at least one other centre back than Murillo, Omo and Niakhate.
This is what irks me, we've wasted more on Origis wages than we will claim back through higher SC prices..

Not to mention Lingard.
Lingard at least did something even if it was expensive cheerleader
We may aswell have kept Dennis as even if Dennis scored 1 league goal he's better than Origis output.

I agree about Dennis.

Dennis actually did contribute more last season than Origi did this season. And at least Dennis is actually our player (for better or worse).Lingard at least did something even if it was expensive cheerleader

I'm still seething about Origi's miss against Wolves. Absolutely useless.
I agree, his goal against Newcastle last year was brilliant.
Getting rid of him for Origi was ridiculous. I don't mind a gamble on an experienced player IF they don't cost too much, but he is a collosal waste of funds.
Apparently us fans should just worry about what’s happening on the pitch and not about the way the club is being run! Issue being is that for the owners were just another thing to own but for us this is one of if not the main thread in our whole life, it’s very hard to suddenly not give a shit. And if we could just not give a shit then we’d likely not bother going anymore because quite frankly it’s not that much fun and the football is pretty shit..
Exactly, I've been obsessed with Forest for over 21 years (I wasn't that bothered until my Season ticket in 02/03). Since then I've spent 2 decades on this forum chatting shit and discussing/debating this about this club, travelled god knows how many thousands of miles supporting us and 10s of thousands of £s on football...
But we should just not care..
I couldn’t have summed it up better myself.

Forest will pay the price for making fans feel taunted over 24% ticket hikes
Forest have managed to make loyal supporters feel antagonised and betrayed as well as out-of-pocket

We should have worked with Dennis this season. He did quite well in a few games last season. Way better than what we’ve ended up with.
Dennis biggest flaw was his insistence of cutting back onto his stronger foot, not too dissimilar to CHO who although better is frustratingly predictable.
Would I rather have the options of Cho, Elanga, Reyna and Dennis that Origi 100% yes.

Agree
I’d rather have Surridge than Origi too. If we’d kept him and Dennis we wouldn’t have needed Origi and we wouldn’t have needed that embarrassing chase for Akpom.
The same goes for players as goes for supporters and even shirt sponsors - be very careful about ditching people who’ve been crucial to your success. Too much change disillusions people and you often don’t end up with better anyway.

Look at Wood. Roundly considered to be a useless lump and with a bit of time and ultimately patience from everyone involved, he's great
Dennis might not have the personality of Wood but as clubs and fans we need to persist a little more with those we invest money in.

Origi was free, remember? Sure, the punt hasn't worked out, but that doesn't mean it wasn't worth a punt back in the Summer.
Though that rings a bit hollow when we've probably paid more in Salary for him than the season ticket hike will earn. Doesn't feel very free if the cost is fan alienation at the crucial point of the season.

If we hadn’t signed Origi we would have signed someone else, and whats more most of the fans would have demanded it.
The someone else might have scored some goals of course.

I didn't mind the Origi punt. Hindsight a wonderful thing.
In terms of recent transfers then the Jonjo Shelvey one sticks out like a sore thumb. Just his personality in the dressing room was a major risk to team cohesion and togetherness even if the quality was there, which itself was a risk given how little he'd played.
