As widdow said he is hit and miss. If he joins he will get my full support.
Out of the targets Forest have been linked with in Grabban, Bamford and Waghorn. 'Goals' in terms of their record is a rather recent phenomena. Having looked at all three on Wikipedia for their goal scoring stats, I'm somewhat bemused. But players mature and at the age of mid 20s, 28 or 30 (their ages?) you'd expect them to be maturing and coming into some kind of goal scoring form for the Championship.
Strikers can be hit and miss. Britt has allegedly had a 'bust up' with Pullis (now there is a surprise...) and it is probably to do with overall contribution. ie. Hard work. It doesn't always work out. (Chemistry, how you get on with team mates and a manager you may or not get on with or who understands you and your play. Or a manager that puts you on the wing when you're a striker etc. The System you play in.)
That can...That can be the same for any player though. Birtles went to United and it didn't happen for him. But for Forest? History speaks for itself.
