Confirmed Signing James Garner

[only_sleeping]

Is Garner an alternative to Gana?

 

[Neiler]

Deep lying playmaker isnt he.

How come Forest never bought him permanently?

Maybe they think they have.
They bought everybody else they might be confused

 

[Mr Happy]

I'm all for him. You, potential and all that, but for the love of God, Buddha, Allah and Odin, could we get a Striker in first !? Deadline day signing Garner would be good. Over the line last minute if needs be but a Striker first ??

How come Forest never bought him permanently?

Said it before but Forest needed new players immediately. Makes sense that they just couldn't wait around to see what United wanted to do with him. It's only just come to light he is available and the season has already started for Forest.

He looks fairly similar but he has a full year in the Championship to fall back on. Good on set pieces too.

2 years mate

6 months with Watford
2 spells with Forest , 6 months & 12 months.
He's had plenty of game time.

I can't judge because I've never seen him play other than highlights. In the highlights, he seems like he presses well - I hope he is the same for a full game I also read somewhere that he is really good at set piece. But I do wonder why Forest didn't buy him permanently. It may be a red flag or not.

No idea but 14million valuation seems a little steep. But I guess gone were the days you could get a player like Garner for like 10mil or less. But I do not think 14mil could get us anybody good these days.

The Athletic now saying we are in talks for this kopite

Can't be much of a koppite if he's at United

Tons. Absolutely tons. Makes no difference on the pitch. Outdated view imo.

I think he’s an alternative to Ghana ??.

There are sections of this fanbase who seemingly care more about the red side than the blue though.

Anyway, was this lad not really highly touted a few years ago? Could be a good signing at £14m

I've seen him live a few times and we was defo their main set piece man and often the main playmaker from deeper positions.

Good engine on him too and he's got a bit about him so £14m seems reasonable. Perhaps one for the future if we got him but depends on what style/setup Lampard plays.

Agree, couldn't care less who anyone supports as long as they give their all on the pitch for us

He was good in the Great Escape

 

[Nightman]

Too lightweight and too slow, especially mixed in with our plodders. Got a lot of stick from Forest fans early and mid part of last season, although he did improve during their run-in.
Excellent set piece-taker - strikers would thrive on. Oh.

If we are going to improve the squad, we need one of Gallagher or Broja - ideally both. We will not improve the squad with Garner and/or Gilmour, IMO.

And gis a striker or two. Tar.
