That's the player we went in to pay top whack and took our own scanning equipment showing his legs were knackered - he went somewhere else hardly played a game - well done spot on that was the player;)

Went to Birmingham and scored a lot of goals then disappeared .. I really wanted him too... around the time we were going for Scott Parker I think but could be wrong
 

That’s some narrative you are setting up there mush to justify you hating on a local lad who is your best player!
You ever had a lad come through your system mate and left for money or trophies?. How about Trevor Francis, or worse a local lad like Bob Latchford (thanks by the way;)). How did you feel?. Angry?. Proud that a local lad done good? How were the players welcomed back to St Andrews?

No No No he was a flop -
Mikael Kaj Forssell (born 15 March 1981) is a Finnish international football striker currently playing for Veikkausliiga club HIFK.[2]

Forssell began his professional career in 1997 for HJK, having progressed through the team's youth teams, but he only remained at the club for a single season, making 17 league appearances, before he moved to England to join Chelsea in 1998. He never broke into the Chelsea team (making 33 league appearances in seven years), and spent two loan spells at Crystal Palace, one at Borussia Mönchengladbach, and two at Birmingham City. He switched permanently to the latter club in 2005, but injury problems restricted him to 65 league appearances in three seasons. He joined German side Hannover 96 in July 2008 on a free transfer, but once again struggled with form and injury problems, and he left the club in 2011, having made 44 league appearances. This was followed by an unsuccessful season back in England, this time with Leeds United; 15 league games failed to yield a single goal. Forssell returned to current club HJK in October 2012.

Pretty sure he scored 18 league goals the season after we didn't sign him and went brum... remember being pissed off we didn't get him... but then he disappeared
 
Guess we will see but my opinion is it's all about the money , he won't sign for us, he will run his contract down and we won't see him play for us again ...

So you think a pro would feign injury ,not play, even train for the best part of a year and the club would be ok with it? World cup year, and the fact he is a footballer but happy to sit and watch for 10 months? No chance mate.
