A fit Forrest is a far better player than Gary Mackay-Steven. |

I still have faith that Forrest will come good. He reminds me of Maloney in his second spell with us in that he's spent so much time injured, the manager seems to have lost a bit of confidence in him, which is understandable because you don't want to build your team around guys you fear will spend huge chunks of the season on the treatment table. I wouldn't give up on him though. |

Forrest's situation isn't like Mathews'. Forrest can't get a run because he can't stay fit. Mathews gets a run because he can stay fit, but was kept out because Lustig is better. |

Fit and on form* He's been in poor form for a long time because of his injuries and tbh I think he's gone backwards. |

I don't agree. I don't think GMS is especially good or anything but I fail to see what a fit James Forrest is better than him at? Knocking the ball past a full back and beating him for pace maybe. That's if Forrests recurring hamstring injury hasn't had a significant impact on his acceleration and pace, which is unlikely. Forrest isn't as intelligent a player as GMS He doesn't have as good a touch as GMS He has no left foot whatsoever, whereas GMS is pretty much two footed He doesn't work as hard as GMS They're both erratic finishers Each to their own, but if James Forrest ever gets fully fit again it's still unlikely he'll be able to turn on the afterburners like he could when he was a youngster, and take that away from Forrest and there's not a whole lot left to frighten a defence. |

Don't think there's much in it. Add in GMS tends to be fit an available he's a better option for us to build the system around. We should cut our losses with Forrest. |

Cool, fair enough. I'll need to wait and see how GMS gets on over the next few seasons playing for Celtic before being so sure, i'm afraid. |

Me too. In fact, I saw them both play in the same game in Milan last week. One was direct, skillful, dynamic and dangerous. The other was hiding. |

But he said "a fit" Forrest is the far better player. We have to wait until he's fit before judging his recent performances or see the far better player. Apparently, he's not fit. The poor guy isn't fit, he's UNFIT. |

Debatable Remy. Mackay Steven a team player and more intelligent on ball. Plus tracks back and covers his full back. Forrest and McGregor lose the ball they just stop. I'd punt both . |

A wee phone call to NL to see if he'd like to take Forrest off our hands for £2-3m would do the trick. Spend the money on a player who isn't going to be injured over 50% of the time. Shame too, could have had a great career at Celtic. Edited by Scotty_Bhoy_7, 2 Mar 2015, 04:16 PM.
