Go Antonio

And now we've signed winger Mikhail Antonio from Nottingham Forest for a reputed £7million. The former Reading star has worked his way up from non-league Tooting and played for a number of Championship clubs on loan and is by all accounts a fine prospect. Quite a deadline day for the Irons with four signings and so far no departures. If nothing else these signings should guarantee we're still in the Premier League for the big move to the Olympic Stadium… and ideally heading for a top half placing.

Cracking signing. We'll miss him, but glad to see him go to a club playing positive football.

As a Forest fan - I'm really sad to see him go. He's a really direct winger who loves to poke the ball past the full back and run. I've yet to see a full back beat him in a foot race and he's such a big unit the opposition bounce off him. He's also scored some great goals drifting in to just outside the box and smashing it. So worth £7m in this market any day. I also understand that the offer of a 4 year deal on at least double his current money and the chance to play in the prem was too good to turn down.

He's also a grounded kind of a character.

From what Forest fans say WHU have a real prospect… long time since we've had a goalscoring winger.
