He did last season in Knockaert and Murray. Two huge earns, back end of their careers, AK a huge loan fee to boot, and they both contributed next to sweet FA. We then got lucky that Harry Arter warned Dan Gosling off who was on his way.
No thanks to Hughton picking who he wants to sign.
Knockaert didn't fulfil his full potential. But he still contributed key moments of magic at the right time. Like wise Murray with his initial impact. In a knee jerk January transfer window it did buy Forest 'vital' points.
We forget that the same window, Hughton brought in Garner, Krov'...and made Cafu a perm'.
I think the coalition 'tween our new dashing CEO and Hughton will prove fruitful in time. But it's in the proof of the pudding.
SA.
Knockaert scored and assisted in games we lost, bar one, where he scored the 3rd in a 3-0 win against Wycombe.
He did nutmeg someone though on the halfway line. Outside of that he lost the ball, gave up countless fouls and got sent off. He was as fruitful as Lica was. Just a lot more expensive.
Cafu was chucked at us by Olympiacos.
Garner funnily joined at the time Brazil was moved into his new role whereby he has more influence in identifying first team players. Krovinovic came from Benfica, whereby Marinakis has a good relationship.
I've got as much faith in Chrus Hughton identifying players that benefit the club now and in the future as I have Gaetan Bong in being a solid and dependable left-back for us this season.
