His goal record at Wednesday may be "average" in some eyes but he got the most assists in SBC over the last three season & has been the top scoring midfielder over the same period. Two of those seasons were with Wednesday.
Sadly SG (& some fans) couldn't see the potential & that his value would soar.
Doubt he will be a regular.
He wanted to leave so we had little choice as at the time we had no money
Whoever we end up blaming for the Antonio sale, the over riding factor in the whole deal was our need for instant money so we could buy May. The financial restraints we were under maybe didn't cause the sale as it is said MA was unhappy anyway, but it certainly caused us not to hold out for more and for us to go with what Forest offered. I think the most we would ever have got for him was around 2-2.5m anyway. The amount teams are asking for players now has definitely shot up since we sold him.
