Nottingham Forest: Fans react to the signing of Marcus McGuane
Nottingham Forest have finally confirmed the signing (per the club’s official academy Twitter feed) of Marcus McGuane after the player first looked like arriving in January.
The Reds have had to be patient for the midfielder’s arrival but being at Barcelona for a few more weeks possibly furthered his development and the time to have elapsed indicates they believe he is a player worth waiting for. Indeed, Forest have a flourishing academy currently with a lot of exciting players either a part of the under 23s set-up or have already graduated to the first-team, such as Joe Worrall and Matty Cash.
Having started at Arsenal before moving to Spain the 21-year-old has clearly been highly thought of already in his career and it will be intriguing to see if he has a role to play for Sabri Lamouchi before the season is up.
Alex Mighten played recently which shows the Frenchman is not afraid to trust youth even in this important period in the season, and if McGuane impresses for the under 23s then he may get his chance.
A number of supporters are pleased to see him finally join, and some of their reactions can be found below.
Forest casually signing Barcelona's brightest future talent. Levels.

Finally, One for the future then !
Be interesting to see if he could maybe challenge the bench towards the end of the season.— John Calladine (@lardlikesdogs) February 26, 2020
This one is a tasty signing. Still think we may see him on the bench for some main games if he is traing well!

Hopefully he can hit the ground running and make his way into the senior side before the end of the season. I’m a big fan. #NFFC https://t.co/xQmV2qJ65C
