    That's YOUR opinion, not the clubs. The only reason we haven't signed him is because he failed the medical so don't fire the facts at me trying to prove a point.

    The Oldham Chronicle is reporting that we couldn't agree personal terms.

    Good. Imagine paying over the odds for a guy who might only play half a season. Back to the drawing board LJ.

    I should hope we're all happy. I wasn't against the idea of signing Johnathan Forte in the slightest, I even said the signing 'made sense'. But if he's failed a medical, that's reason enough for me to say he's not up to it at present. He's better off at Oldham picking up a wage than here. Think he'd have been a good addition but only if he was fully fit and ready to play.

    I keep seeing that Forte is injury prone but I can't find any evidence of this.I would have thought over 350 games at 28 years old is above average.

    Asked my brother who as you all know is a blunt about Forte and all he could do was laugh.

    I think his knees are buggered. He played a lot of games very young.

    If true i'm glad we aren't willing to pay over the odds for someone who's had half a good a season in around a dozen years of playing and makes James Dudgeon look able to play a full season without missing a minute.

    Did he laugh when Forte scored the winner at Bramall Lane last season..?

    Alan Nixon didn't confirm/say he'd actually failed a medical. Didn't he just respond with something vague like "don't want to go there". He could've meant Forte didn't want to go, for all we know.
