WhenYourSmilingLCFC Posted 25 July 2013 Share Posted 25 July 2013 Mackie just runs around like a headless chicken, sometimes lucky to be in the right place. Nugent > Mackie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpe's Fox Posted 25 July 2013 Share Posted 25 July 2013 He had a contract until 2015 signed recently. Makes you wonder how much Florist are paying him and how much they payed QPR. Did they match his wage's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnup Posted 25 July 2013 Share Posted 25 July 2013 Mackie is a classic 'never seen him play' good striker. Dreadful at scoring but 'gets about' and 'grafts'. I'd take Nuge and Wood over any other Championship pairing as would most championship fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey add that record to Cox's last year and they almost reach Nugents total for the season. Mackie is an ok player. I dont know why there's always a cumfest when Forest sign someone. Are Leicester fans as taken in by Forests past reputation as Forest fans are? If we'd have signed Mackie, the forum would be full of people pointing out his shit goal record and injuries over the last couple of years. People need to get a grip when it comes to other teams signings and realise that signing a player doesnt automatically make the squad better. Sometimes it just makes it bigger. This winger they've signed has loads of Forest fans saying that Youtube makes him look like the new Messi. Come on lads. Recognise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 25 July 2013 Share Posted 25 July 2013 Also absolutely amazing because he scored a couple of goals against us once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 26 July 2013 Share Posted 26 July 2013 I am sure our owners/NP would like to spend money as well but cannot because we offered god knows how much in wages to average players and therefore it is impacting us in FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 26 July 2013 Share Posted 26 July 2013 Neither Cox or Mackie has ever scored more than 9 league goals a season above league one (yes Beckford fans the stat can still be used... boom). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 26 July 2013 Share Posted 26 July 2013 The longer this goes on the more I'm convinced that some teams just buy for the sake of it in order to let the market run dry. How can some of these teams, like QPR, Wigan, Watford, Bolton or F"rçst accommodate so many strikers at once? It's all bound to end in tears.

Kitchandro Posted 26 July 2013 Share Posted 26 July 2013 Mackie isn't amazing but he's not shit either. People forget that he got something like 7 in 7 for QPR at the beginning of the 10/11 season and then broke his leg and was out for most of the season. Then he was thrust into the Premiership in a crap side. He's better than Vardy or Waghorn, but no better than Wood (when he pulls his finger out) and Nugent.

XLM Posted 26 July 2013 Share Posted 26 July 2013 Forest are doing exactly what we did under Sven; Impulse buying. They're another one in this league that are banking on promotion this season - and will suffer quite a rapid demise if they don't. We've shipped out two high earning players and have kept our best players - not to mention we've signed a left back with pace (which is an area of teams definitely targeted last season). And in all honesty, there are very few players that any championship club has signed this summer that you'd really want to take to leicester. A unique, however constructive summer for our club I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Guiza Posted 26 July 2013 Share Posted 26 July 2013 I'm sure a lot of fans of varying clubs said that we would be a completely different side when we signed the likes of Mills, Beckford etc. Doesn't mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
