Moose on LBC - Mackie to Forest 1.5m

[Shania]

I'd lose my **** if he left for another Championship club. He is a good striker! Play him up front! No wonder everyone doesn't rate him on here, constantly played out of position.

A good striker and a fullback aswell:=): Cover for Simpson and Harriman.

IMO, a must keeep.

Good riddance. Woeful first touch for a professional footballer. Runs around doing nothing. Can't cross and his shooting ability is poor. Anything above a million is a steal. His first season was like a 'Stuart Wardley' season. Since then.........not good enough for the Rs.

The same thing can be said about DJ Campbell. He and Johnson were injured most of the last season so why kept Johnson and released DJ?

Because Harry didn't rate DJ, but does rate AJ.

DJs contract was up and AJs wasn't.

Glad your not our manager.

That's true Jane, but it's been clear all along that Harry never rated either DJ or Bothroyd. There was never even a hint that they'd be offered new deals.

2nd Season: 7 goals from 31 appearances, coming back from long injury spell, most of the games coming from the bench and used as a winger in the PL does look good for me If you think about SWP.

At last a sensible post on Mackie. Non existant most of the game, when he gets the ball he runs into someone or loses it and when he mis controls a 5 yard pass waves his hands in the air! Never a winger and not good enough to be a striker for a team that wants to get promoted. Move him on.

Those that are not happy he is being sold can you explain where he fits into your team?? If you say he is a impact sub for the last 20 minutes of games you can hardly blame the lad for wanting to move on.

No more a worse first touch than SWP to be fair.

[Del]

Infinitely worse first touch than SWP.

Tad harsh on a player that has scored some very important goals for us. Personally I totally agree that he has massive shortcomings but he definitely offers something at Championship level and I think he's been a credit to himself and the club in terms of attitude and hardwork since day one.

Mackie set for £1.5m Forest move as Hoops line up Hooper (Mirror)

Mackie is available as Harry Redknapp tries to find new forwards - and Forest’s latest improved offer is set to be accepted.

Davies has been looking for a new striker all summer and has now firmed up his interest in Mackie after failing in moves for Gary Hooper and Charlie Austin.

Ironically Hooper’s imminent move to QPR - which is now down to agreeing personal terms - opened the way for Mackie’s departure.

Hooper 5m
Mackie 1.5m

Hooper will cost QPR 3.5m. No brainer really

[Rebel R's]

He is a work horse but still ****,I'd sell him

Haven't read the whole thread but David's paper says different http://www.westlondonsport.com/?p=55061
