Nottingham Forest sold striker Ben Brereton to Blackburn Rovers for big money last summer.
Blackburn Rovers fans are starting to question why they paid so much to Nottingham Forest to sign Ben Brereton.
Blackburn bought Brereton off Forest for £7 million (BBC Sport) during the summer, but he has only made a limited impact at Ewood Park.
And the former Forest youngster really struggled last night against Newcastle United.
Blackburn fell to a 4-2 defeat against the Premier League side in the FA Cup, and Brereton took a lot of criticism on social media website Twitter.
Forest are now likely to feel that they cashed in on Brereton at exactly the right time.
The England youth international was always regarded as a bright prospect at the City Ground, but Forest may well have maximised his value.
Brereton hasn’t really been missed back at Forest this season, as the Reds have a number of excellent attacking options in their squad.
Brereton has made 19 appearances for Blackburn in total this term, but he is still yet to score a goal.
