Lansbury had scored 6 in 19 at the time we signed him. He was a former Arsenal player, playing a division down but had been a good creative player scoring and creating chances, which is what many wanted us to go for.

Whelan was slow, but given Jedinak had time out due to age and injury, and the number of games we were faced with, it seemed sensible if unimaginative.

I think Lansbury was also Forest's star man for a few seasons

Forest fans were not fond of him at all.

Lansbury certainly hasn't been anywhere near as good as I expected. On his debut he showed a good touch and pass and I assumed he'd chip in with goals like Hourihane has.

Pretty much amounted to nothing and will certainly be on a big wage here so he's another problem player in the squad.

He's the one i never fancied from the off. I'dseen all the highlights, and in the flesh for Forest a few times but i was never that impressed. Very much an all fart and no shit player.

At the time he signed for us, I read an article by Kenny Burns (I also did not know that he could read and write) who said basically that Lansbury was a tosser and would not be missed.
At the time I thought, sour grapes.
Maybe not.

Ah, Mr Burns whose greatest achievement for the rags was flicking the V's at the Holte End. Flat faced prat.

Didn’t Kenny Burns once do a shit in the house of a poster on here? Can’t believe I’d dream such a thing.

I thought he looked a right ****** when I saw the video of his initiation song, and have pretty much kept that view since. Maybe I'm quick to judge.

Ange's best game for us was his debut 60 minutes when he wasn't fit. Since then he's looked like someone who doesn't know what football is.

Yes you are.  However, I'd say you were bang on the money in this instance.

I know a few forest fans who said similar, they played a big part in why i thought he was a poor signing. The main feedback was that he'd do something good (score a goal for example) and then strut around like he was doing them a favour playing for them for the next game or 2.

Kenny Burns son used to bet in the betting shop I managed in Alum Rock. There is a reasonably chance he once took a shit in the toilets there.

I would have heard that Henri has a very active social life  which could well impinge on his ability to play football to a high standard. Mind you even without these distractions I still think he was useless.

Certainly should have been rotated with Hourihane who did pretty close t fuck all in the latter part of the season.
