melia Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've been reliably informed that there are several clubs sniffing around him at the moment -not championship clubs thoigh. also that Corney has said we will be getting rid of Players this month that WILL surprise many. Think the funds raised will go to the stand - hence why looking at Evans on a free? Possibly the delay with the Evans signing? If I found out more I will post.

JoshOWTB Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Interesting if we get rid of our top scorer again. Be disappointed if he goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlueNoodle Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 If we get a fee let him go, not too bothered about this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 How can you not be bothered about selling our club top scorer and the 3rd top scorer in league 1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueNoodle Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 He's been awful for the past 2 months pretty much, very injury prone, and he's no spring chicken (or that old tbh) at 28. If some club comes up with 6 figures, unlikely i know, but I would absolutely snap their hands off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Isn't he only on a one year deal? In which case I'd be surprised at anyone offering more than a nominal fee since they could just wait for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangroves Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Vastly overrated. Very one dimensional i.e. can run into space beyond full backs - once they suss that out he's useless - which they have - if we can get money for him snatch their hands off - do people not actually watch games - obvious he's no striker and did well until teams in this division got to know how to play him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddy_Ender Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 hahahahahaha we need more players like Forte not less I think all the Ched talk has left a few people with short memories, every player has his price no denying that but would you really prefer Dayton on the left to Forte ?

LightDN123 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The club has the option for another year- Clubs choice not forte's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Forte has stopped scoring since he has been played as a forward rather than a winger. We need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 We won't get a good fee for him due to being injury prone, He is our top scorer and has got us to the strong position we are in today (3 points of playoffs). I would much rather we got rid of the fringe players and keep the core group and try to add more quality around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_latics Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I don't think we do have an option - http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/20140801-jonathan-forte-joins-oldham-athletic-1796919.aspx And we shouldn't get rid. He's our top scorer, who's had a mini-drought (possibly Evans related, but that's speculation and probably best saved for a different thread). I think he's best out wide left, I know others think different, and playing a diamond means we can't have him there. But we should play a formation that gets the best out of our players, which for me would be Forte wide left. Especially at home, having him through the middle won't work. Teams have worked out since Coventry that if they sit deep, his pace is useless and they can deal with him if he's in front of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronoafc Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hope we don't sell him, Forte and Evans is a play off winning strike force! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I am pretty sure it was reported in the past that the club had an option, I will have a look for the report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_latics Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/87373/happy-returns to be fair, the chron suggests he does. My apologies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronoafc Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 In all seriousness I hope we don't sell and with his injuries I can't see a team wanting to spend big. I mean the bloke can't even train properly. He hasn't looked great the past couple of months and I was one calling for him to be pushed upfront but since then really his goals have dried up (2 against cov and 1 at shelf U but performance wise too he hasn't looked as sharp) maybe he needs to go back out to the wing and fire balls in to Eva- whoever's upfront for us by the end of jan!
