Would've taken 20p so I'm delighted with that.

And that’s the end of one of the strangest Forest stints in history.

Worst signing in the club's history? Has to be up there surely.

Surely he’ll have to come back here to train in the summer. The place won’t seem the same without him
I’d say by not playing he falls short of Dumitru for that award.

At least he got on the pitch though. And he didn't cost as much I'd imagine.
Although I suppose cost is relative. Arter would've taken a much bigger chunk out of what we had at the time.

Be like that kid that gets kicked out of school but comes back and hangs out by the gates.

Wonder if he’ll get a guard of honour at Leeds?

I suppose the answer depends on how one defines “worst”.
I would replace “worst “ with “unluckiest”.
He joined and either came with a serious undetected injury, but prior to that had shown great promise.
Since the injury was detected he just seemed unable to get better.
In my book nowhere the worst signing we have made; not even in the top 10.
But with my age and being a Forest fan 65 years I have seen a lot aloof dreadful signings of players who were simply awful.

Worst as in what he gave us on the pitch vs what he cost i.e. nothing for a fair amount.
Obviously we've had worse footballers as well as much worse human beings over the years.

Not official yet, just some reports on Greek sites that an agreement has been reached and he's heading up north for his medical. Hopefully he doesn't fail that.

He’s never had a bad game for Forest. So can’t be that bad.

What’s the catch? He does pre season with us for the next decade?

I know somebody close to Arter and he was on approx 60k a week at Forest total package. He fell out with Hughton and then refused to leave due to his nice fat contract. Marianakis detested him and his agent

Surely, he wasn't being paid that much six years ago in the championship?

He was when we got promoted apparently mate
If I remember correctly he had a big boost upon his wages when we got promoted I thought it was around 40k reported per week it was 40k or 65k too much...must been a few players hated that.

No wonder he was so keen to stick around.

I don't blame him, surely we'd all do the same thing if our employers still had us under contract and allowed us to still get paid without doing any duties.
