The Barnsley left-back was released by Nottingham Forest last summer.
Nottingham Forest fans are reacting on Twitter to Thursday’s signing of Juan Fuentes.
The Spanish left-back arrived at the City Ground alongside Greek goalkeeper Stefanos Kapino, and fills the void left by Armand Traore’s departure to Cardiff City.
His position has been something of a weak link for Forest since Dani Pinillos’s exit at the end of last season, and several Reds fans are unsure whether Fuentes is an upgrade on his fellow countryman – and former Cordoba player.
Here’s what they are saying about the signing…
Pinillos – who is back in English football with Nottingham Forest’s Championship rivals Barnsley after a short-lived return to Cordoba – spent two seasons at the City Ground, but only made 35 appearances due to injury.
The 25-year-old – who has considerably less top flight experience than Fuentes, who had spells with Espanyol and Osasuna – scored his only goal for the Reds in last season’s derby draw against Derby County.
Is Fuentes a good signing for Nottingham Forest?
