The Monaco midfielder was at the City Ground earlier this year and some Forest fans have words of warning for their Reading counterparts.

A number of Nottingham Forest fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on ex-Reds loanee Pele returning to the Championship with Reading this season (official Reading website).

The 27-year-old midfielder, on the books at French side Monaco, completed a medical with the Royals on Tuesday and penned a season-long loan deal at the Madejski Stadium.

Pele, whose full name is Judilson Mamadu Tuncara Gomes, made nine appearances for Forest earlier this year and clocked up a total of 537 minutes of football, according to Transfermarkt.

The Guinea-Bissau international did not exactly pull up any trees during his time at the City Ground and, following Reading’s confirmation of his move, some Trickies fans on social media made their feelings clear on the player.

Here is some of the reaction:

Pele started his club career with Portuguese side Belenenses, had spells in Italy with Genoa and AC Milan – though he never played for either side – and spent time at Rio Ave before joining Monaco on a three-year deal last summer.

Forest face Reading this Championship season at the City Ground on 26 October and at the Madejski on 11 January next year.
