' Nicky Maynard £2.5Million '

As he is out of contract,we will get not a penny back.

" It’s great to see Nicky Maynard back, but I can’t see him staying "

27th April 2015

The former West Ham and Bristol City striker went on for Joe Mason with five minutes left against Blackpool.

Malky Mackay’s £2.5m signing from the Hammers during January 2014 has been plagued with injuries, but club medical staff have now sorted out the cause of a persistent back problem.

With a big pre-season training programme before 2015-16 the 28-year-old Maynard will be raring to go. He may have to move on in search of first team football, Maynard should play at Forest to show interested clubs he is back and ready for action.

Maynard’s last start for City was in August and he’s been in injury turmoil for long periods since then. It’s great to see him back playing, but he is out of contract in July and he’ll be moving on this summer.

The lad is very injury prone!

He will leave and probably sign for Bristol City!

He wont get £20000 a week and will have to settle for much lower wages or pay as you play and unfortunately I can't see him lasting a full season without further injury. His body is telling him that :sladeout:

If he is out of contract and set to leave us why play him at Forest at all
Unless he wants to stay and prove that his fitness issues are behind him and try to earn a new contract

I like Nicky but he will never be a lead striker at this level, too injury prone to for me!

If he stays he stays but like you say I can't see him staying either? £23k a week is he on?

If he out of contract and not going to be here next year....why would he even be in the squad at Forest?????

Surely we should be playing a youngster or somebody who will be part of our match day squad next year not helping Maynard a millionaire footballer who has contributed nothing in 3 years at our club earn another huge payday at another club!!!!

Our Club is a joke at times :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout:

Lets be honest Allan, you very rarely go to a City game,but continually slate those who go week in week out who have strong opinions that you dont like. Perhaps when you go more,you might understand :thumbright:
