Thought he wanted two years? And to move back to London?
Oh, and his replacement, Colback, didn't even play on Saturday.

We got 6 good months out of him (in 2.5 years), which is 6 months longer than I thought we'd get after seeing him in his first few months.
Glad we've (seemingly) not caved and given him 2 years. Good luck to him.
He was pretty good when he first got here I thought. Think he and Guedioura came in and made a huge difference to the midfield left behind from Warbouton. Starting winning battles and headers in midfield which I hadn’t seen Forest do for years at that point.
It was the second season where he was in and out, injured and asked to do too much where he went down hill. Got a random start against burton and was over ran and terrible and judged on that performance for about 3 months longer than was fair after starting last season very well. People just couldn’t / didn’t want to see it.
I’d say we got just under a year of decent performances from him.
I remember Guedi struggling when he initially came in as he looked miles short of match fitness. Which led to the Watson/Colback partnership and (bar the 5 goal win at QPR) a run of Football that makes Sabri-ball look like Brazil '82.
Nothing against Watson, I'd have liked us to have signed him much earlier in his career when we had the chance but whether it was 6 months or a year, you'd expect more when signing a experienced 'captain' from the Premier League.
Been taken off the OS
Thanks for your efforts Ben and all the best for the future
