Great hire for them and I hope he's able to have success and then move on to greener pastures.

I hope he bombs. Canada doesn't need to gain anymore traction in CONCACAF and after he basically used his broadcasting pulpit to try and talk crap on GGG on air (badform whether you agree or not) to bolster his own ego I have no use for him at this time.

I read somewhere, not sure the veracity of it, but NF didn't want to play players on loan.oh no said:
not playing at BvB vs not playing at Forest. I guess if he had been able to stay on Dortmund's bench, he'd have had really good seats for the Champions League final.
I'm just surprised he wasn't able to break through and become a key cog to help Nottingham stave off relegation. I really expected him to play a lot more there.
Hard to buy that. Why agree to accept loans from other clubs if you don't think they can help and you don't want to play them? When you're fighting your tails off in tight battles at the bottom of the table to not be relegated, if there's a loaned player that can help you win, you play him. They must have thought they were getting someone that would help them, then for whatever reason after he got there, they determined they couldn't trust him to help.Rudyjax said:I read somewhere, not sure the veracity of it, but NF didn't want to play players on loan.oh no said:

I have to wonder about his energy / attitude / work-rate in training, because we've all seen him in intl soccer for USMNT and we know he's got the ability- the technical skill, tactical awareness/decision-making, athleticism, and competitiveness to be a good player.
Why TF do you take players on loan if you aren't going to play them? That makes zero sense.Rudyjax said:I read somewhere, not sure the veracity of it, but NF didn't want to play players on loan.oh no said:

Pretty sure most of Reyna's club teammates have liked him, and even been outspoken about it.

If you read the article it says that Sevilla, Marseille, and Wolves were interested but Forest was picked because because of Nuno's presence at Forest. And article notes that Nuno and Reyna have the same agent.
I hate to say I told you so* (ok, I don't hate it) but this is one of the few things I actually got right. Could tell from a mile away that this was a difficult situation to excel in.
* not you specificallyโฆplural you to those that thought this would end well.
a key cog to stave off relegation? That was the best-case scenarioQuote:

well, if he was getting meaningful minutes down the stretch, that would have made him a key cog in that machine.. at least, that's what I meant by key cog.tysker said:a key cog to stave off relegation? That was the best-case scenarioQuote:

I think most of us just wanted Gio to get some meaningful playing time

Hopefully they create a USMNT legend.

And if that is the case, it sounds like a terrible deal for Reyna to have taken. Which I think gets back the the genesis of this offshoot - who swayed Gio to sign with NF if there were other opportunities on the board?Dre_00 said:
Why not? Depending on the terms of the loan it's often a very low outlay of capital. I don't know the terms of his loan but I doubt Forest paid a loan fee and they are likely not covering his full wages. So low investment with some potential reward. But if it doesn't work out for whatever reason Forest isn't too bothered.

Pulisic was also asked about becoming the first AC Milan midfielder since Kak in 2005-06 to score more than 10 non-penalty goals in a season.
"I've seen the statistics. It's nice to be associated with a player like that, a legend of the club. I really have to thank everyone if I'm part of that," Pulisic said.
