da realbet: Sheffield Wednesday’s Fernando Forestieri has been the target of criticism this week after an article was posted by the Sheffield Star raising doubts over his long-term future at the Owls.
da apostebet: The ever-reliable journalist Dom Howson claims the 30-year-old is in a ‘race against time’ to save his Wednesday career with his contract set to expire this summer.
He cites a number of reasons to why it is in doubt, such as his injury problems and suspensions restricting him to a lack of appearances this campaign.
The Argentinian forward started just his second game under Owls boss Garry Monk at the weekend but failed to get his name on the scoresheet or even register an assist in 71 minutes of action.
Now fans have been laying into him on social media. Here’s what has been said…
The overriding consensus was that the two-time Owls top goalscorer needed to leave the club at the end of the season – “time to go” and “get rid” were frequent remarks made by some supporters.
He was even labelled as “deadwood” by another fan.
Further context was added by others as they believe they haven’t seen the best of Forestieri for quite some time, and the stats tend to back that up too as he’s only managed to bag 12 goals across the last three seasons which is what he managed to either hit or surpass in his first two spells at Hillsborough, per Transfermarkt.
Foresteiri’s injury record and lack of playing time was also targetted by fans with one going as far as outing him as a “fraud”.
As of right now, it very much remains to be seen if he will be offered a contract extension at Hillsborough.
