Always like him, great sub to bring on, a better player than the replacements we signed.

Good. I’ll keep saying it, he makes things happen when he’s on the pitch. He’s messy and chaotic but things happen. He’s an ideal 4th choice winger/utility forward to bring off the bench in the right games. Seems like the sort of character that raises others games too simply by his effort levels.
In the PL the previous season he had more goals in 800 minutes than Ndoye, Hutchison, McAtee and Bakwa had altogether in their combined 3000 minutes this season

If we sell Anderson, get 2 midfielders, a top striker and a winger.
Give McAtee, Kalimuendo, Bakwa and Jota till the Jan window to see if they can contribute under Pereira then decide what to do.

Nottingham's dirty secret
I'd prefer to see him coming on late in a game than Ndoye to be honest.
Still - I expect to see him to go to Oly.

Oh no, I remember. But I also remember him scoring goals and providing assists in the PL and being a proper handful for opponents.

It's unfortunate that it didn't fully work out for him here because he has a good attitude and personality.

Unfortunately sadly lacking in ability though.
Although saying that he looked like prime Figo compared to some of the performances we saw from wingers last season.

Always energetic and enthusiastic, possibly not so talented, but he gave many of us pleasure, so I wish him and Olympiacos success.

Yep, a justified fan favourite for attitude if not skill

Are Oly fans pleased with this signing GBG?

Unclear yet.
Oly fans are pleased with nothing, by definition, and love grumbling about everything (including grumbling). The fact that the news broke out after a deal the press said was imminent for another forward addition fell through got into a lot of people's nerves. Although the two players are different, the Jota Silva news was perceived by many (including myself) as a failure and a downgrade: we failed to get our main target, so instead let's bring in someone from the rich cousin. Other fans who enjoy grumbling about grumblers protest that this is unfair, and insist that he'll prove a very useful player. Personally, I like his tenacity and skillset, but I'm not sure his all over the place style will be to the manager's liking.

He can press or at least annoy the opposition defence, so he'll like him.
If he joins Oly, I can assure you all that you'll be getting regular updates (from yours truly) on how he's doing.

Out of interest, what is the fans attitude towards the relationship dynamic between Forest and Olympiakos?
Is there animosity at all that we sometimes use Greece as a means of offloading unwanted players?

On loan, after he extends his contract with you for one year.

As I've said before, there are those who hate the idea that EM owns more clubs, complain about Forest, and grumble that EM only cares about the Premier, and there are those who see the benefits of multi-club ownership (which are not obvious when one looks at individual transfers, but are, I think, tangible, when one factors in relationships with the agents' market and other key players in international football).
