Pablo Fornals

Looks like he may be off this week, he was a star in the making playing 17 games for the excellent Spanish U21's. Then Moyes got hold of him and played him as a winger I guess you could call it for most of the 150+ games he's played for us.
He seems to be a great team player, good in the dressing room and a guy who always puts a shift in, but after never been given a run of games in centre of Midfield and playing out wide and as a bit part player his from dipped to where he is now. Recently he's looked like his morale has been broken. I feel sorry for him and really wish him well if he does got back to Spain.
I feel sorry for the guy

Yup - couldn’t have put it better myself. Whatever his limitations as a player, Moyes has wasted his time and ours.

£10 million will be good business. Like most. Love Pablo. Unfortunately everyone has a price. And the club can't afford passenger's.

I’ve always been a fan of Pablo. He plays the game the right way; with energy, spirit and. a smile on his face.
And even though Moyes has treated him appallingly I think he developed a true love for the club.
I wish all the very best for the future.

Why the fuck is Moyes so obsessed with playing players out of their natural positions? Is he trying for Hollands 'total football' of the 70's? If he is he's come up a bit short.
Everyone knows Pab is a great player just like they know that about Benni, you KNOW they are skillful, incisive and will run all day if they have to.
But football is a confidence game and it has to damage you if you start thinking 'however well I play I'm getting hooked on 70 minutes and I'll probably be on the bench for the next match'.
Modern players whether you like it or not respond better to a bit of love rather than having a teacup thrown at them and I truly hope both of those players regain their confidence and are played in their correct positions at their next clubs because it won't happen while Moyes is in charge here.

great lad but sadly no use at set pieces, and the jock cunt would rather have a lumbering beanpole that can sometimes get on the end of a cross, rather than someone who can pass the ball. I wish Jimmy well wherever he ends up

I don't think he's ever done that. I'm sure Kral said he ignored him the whole time he was at the club

He does get played out of position but fuck me, how many times can he misplace a 5 yard pass?

Moyes has had big problems with the LW spot since he got here. Either they don't play the way he wants them to (Felipe Anderson, Benni) or he'll put CMs there instead (Fornals, Vlasic, Paqueta). He'll spend months chasing a quality LW (eg Kostic, Barnes) then suddenly give up and just go and buy another CAM/RW instead.

Nice to see Fornals getting a good send-off on here. I've always liked him for his enthusiasm if nothing else, but he was also a good player for us. As said, though, he seems shorn of all confidence. Wish him well.

Lost his smile recently so hope he gets it back elsewhere. Hoped for big things after that Spain tournament but Moyes didn't use him right and his confidence went. Hope he4 becomes a success wherever he goes.

Fornals was probably Pellegrini's best buy during the old boy's time. Agree with what others have said and it's a shame that all his talent seems to have been coached out of him.
Good luck Pablo.

Love the way that Pab fully bought into the club and played with a smile. Shone like a tanner up a sweeps arse when he first came, love his song, unfortunately destroyed confidence and spontaneity by our world class manager.
Wish him well wherever he goes and hope he regains his form and becomes another player that Moyes has been shown to have ruined along with so many others.

Awful footballer, but yea it's Moyes fault that he can't pass the football or finish his dinner. I know Pellegrini is a fucking chump, but is he really handing over 10 mil for the grinning one?

Loved his attitude and positivity. Then Moyes wrang it out of him and made him half the player he was. Same with Benny.

Good player and has played his part in our most recent 'success'
Scoring the winner out in Alkmaar will live long in the memory of most of us I'm sure. £10 million isn't to be sneezed at though considering he is pretty much half the player he was when he joined so it's about right. £22 million well spent overall and if he was to return to the OS, he would deserve a big round of applause. Always has a good word to say about the club and fans so best of luck to him.

Cult hero who will always be well regarded by us. But no longer good enough for us which is a sign of how far we've progressed. Good move for all parties.
Cheers Pablo.

Re: Pablo Fornals

Had a couple of ok seasons. Will remember him for the goal at Leicester and of course the winner against alkmaar. Has been poor for past 18 months. Lacks pace for premier league - passing, guile and movement not good enough to compensate. Shame as I had high hopes when we signed him. Will do better back in Spain I reckon, good luck to him.
