Sheffield Wednesday: Forestieri – fans react on Twitter

Despite reports saying that Fernando Forestieri didn’t want to leave Watford and London for the rough wastelands of Northern England to sign for Leeds United, the Argentinian-born did just that. Not sign for Leeds United, that boat sailed a while ago, but he has swapped the pretty lights of London for the flickering illuminations of Northern England, signing a four-year deal with Sheffield Wednesday.

With such a signing, a proven quality player at Championship level, you’d be forgiven for expecting ripples of excitement at Forestieri becoming an Owl. After all, it is not often that your club spend £3m on a player who will come to be seen as a ‘marquee signing’ and one who will add undoubted quality and threat to the Sheffield Wednesday front line.
