Nicky Forster returns!

Nicky Forster returns!

One of my all time favourite players, still got it I reckon.
 

Nicky Forster returns!

:eek::eek: as a back up striker, this is a great signing. Still looks to have an eye for goal, and remarkably a bit of pace about him. We need four strikers this season, Mac, Forster, Cort and one other, plus maybe a fifth as a young loanee would do nicely !
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Sorry but this does not excite me one iota - especially not on a 2 year deal
 

Nicky Forster returns!

I have no issue with that, he has looked really sharp last two seasons, just hope he still has 2 years left in him :)

over the moon

off out tonight to celebrate:sorted:

welling up after reading the O/S........what a player and a pro he is :sorted:
 

Nicky Forster returns!

I'm not sure about this. A great player for us in his time and still a goal poacher but he is never going to live up to his previous spell.

18 goals last season.
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Absoluteky brilliant signing.

He is still sharp, fit, quick and hungry. His goal scoring record over the past couple of years is still excellent.

He is there to be a mentor and example to the other players, put pressure on Charlie Mac, start where necessary and most importantly be a real goal threat coming off the bench.

His pace will still frighten teams and his finishing is very very sharp.

Ideally we will have Forster and Cort to come off the bench. That is a very potent combination which will really strengthen our attacking options.

I can't remember the last time we had 2 proven strikers in reserve. Ideally we will now.

Really, really pleased!!

exactly. Age is people's fear factor here, but he looks as sharp as anything we have had previously.

I also revert back to a pool of 4 or 5 strikers we need, to have someone like Forster in that mix is a massive boost.....who did we have last season to rely on off the bench...?
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Will score goals and will be a good back up for Macdonald and another striker who i believe Scott will get a younger player. :sorted:
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Quality! Perhaps 1 real positive is that Charlie will have to increase his levels even more, knowing such an established striker is on the bench...
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Superb signing, very happy - he'll still get goals at our level and he's one of my all time favourite Bees!
 

Nicky Forster returns!

good stuff-useful guy to have in the squad-good to see him back
 

Nicky Forster returns!

A good signing.
Despite his age, his performances last season say to me he'll be a very good addition.

Welcome back Nicky!
 

Nicky Forster returns!

No need to do a "Where are they now... Nicky Forster" anymore.

I started going to GP in the early 90s, so I am half-tempted to suggest getting Bob Taylor and Carl Asaba back! In all seriousness, though, a good addition. I hope that we add a hungry, young striker (perhaps with promise from non-league) and let him learn from amazing pros in Charlie Mac, Carl Cort and Nicky Forster. Quality.

For a team that finished about 13th I think. For most of the season they were near the foot of the table too.

:confused:

Ergo he was scoring against better players, than he was playing with.
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Great stuff... will put a bit of pressure on Charlie Mac. Two good experienced strikers in forster and Cort plus Charlie Mac. We're looking dangerous up front..

So he left in 1995 - that will be over 15 years between games for Brentford. Probably some kind of record

what he said
 

Nicky Forster returns!

I loved the guy - so glad to have him back. Wish we'd have had him last season too.

Will be interesting to see how he fits in with Charlie expect he'll likely to be a bench warmer.
 

Nicky Forster returns!

will we now have one of the oldest strike forces in the division?
welcome back nicky! wasn't around the first time you were hear!

Ergo, he got 18 goals with a lower quality of service than we will provide him with against the same quality opposition.

Err exactly, we might be talking at cross purposes.

I assumed (I know, I know, never do that) you were being disparaging about his signing.
 

Nicky Forster returns!

I only started supporting Brentford after Euro 96. Who is Nicky Foster?
 

Nicky Forster returns!

There's only one Nicky Forster
Walking along singing this song
Walking in a Forster wonderland!!

Great move great to have him back, well done Andy!!
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Good signing.

I believe that you should never go back in football - but in this case I am prepared to forgo this principal.

Welcome back Nicky.
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Suspect we had to offer a two year deal to clinch his signature and beat off the competion but its a decent signing, he's still quicker than Strevans.
 

Nicky Forster returns!

2 years contract at 36. number of clubs eager to sign, tracked him for months apparently ala clevlend taylor, he will blend in nicely with "mind how you go" c cort. hope i'm proved wrong but not doing it for me either.
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Have to admit he was a hero of mine as well, I got my first ever number (9) put on a Bees replica shirt 'cos of Nicky lol

As he is 2 or 3 years older than me I can look up to him as a senior as well, nice one! Hope he has a good scoring season again, would be great to roll back the years to the mid nineties.... now where are my Blur/Oasis albums :dj:
 

Nicky Forster returns!

He has looked good in the matches I've watched on the box last season. His obvious fitness and the comment about having a target to meet mean that AS has put some though into this; it's hardly a panic signing. His experience will do wonders for Myles and some of the other younger players, too.

Will Carl Cort sign? It's all gone quiet. If only we'd had this pairing a few years ago!
 

Nicky Forster returns!

Great news ,well done all involved in getting him back.Even at the age of 36 still good enough for league 1, proven quality striker can you ask for more?
 

Nicky Forster returns!

incredible signing, stuff the world cup lets get back to real football asap please :sorted:


would have preferred a one year contract though, just incase it doesnt work out ;)
