Probably best for all concerned. Could think of many worse places to live and work than Cheltenham.

And there he was st Easter road for the community foundation event on Wednesday night

What was the fee

***J-C*** · 30-06-2017 02:38 PM

Good luck to the lad, gave his all and was unfortunate with injury just as he was getting established in the team with Hanlon, McGregor coming in didn't help his chances of forcing his way back in, I thought he'd get League one level football tbh but they seem to be spending at Cheltenham, so maybe a wee promotion soon.

Hopefully see you back in when the season starts

**SChibs** · 30-06-2017 02:40 PM

Beem told he's on more money down there which I was surprised at

Why would that surprise you

Because they're a League 2 side.

**KWJ** · 30-06-2017 02:45 PM

Still has a lot of potential but needs to be playing games. Good luck to him and happily see him back at ER one day.

Townsend Street, it's called the Adam & Eve, it's straight down the Gloucester road from the train station, 10-15 minute walk

**MWHIBBIES** · 30-06-2017 02:49 PM

Sadly not quite good enough for where we want to go. Good luck to him.

**Since90+2** · 30-06-2017 02:50 PM

I liked Forster. Strong in the air , fairly quick and always gave 100% as well as being young enough to improve.

I probably would have kept him over Fontaine TBH but realise I would be in the minority with that.

This, I thought we'd be at least matching a league 2 teams offers but maybe he was a lower earner at hibs and one of the higher ones a Cheltenham

Cheltenham don't have a lot of money, I'd also be very surprised if he's on more there, all new signings so far this season have been on frees, pretty much the same as every other season tbh, but if it comes off I will be highly delighted, he'll be seeing 1 Hibs top there every week lol

**GreenOnions** · 30-06-2017 02:54 PM

Best of luck to big Jordon. I think he's a good player and has always done well for us when given the opportunity.

I always thought he was extremely unlucky at Hibs. When he first broke into the side he looked really promising towards the end of that season. He was either injured or suspended at the start of the following season and didn't begin it in possession of the jersey.

The outcome was bad luck in the sense that managers just made poor and fateful choices that were not good for him. In much the same vein as their preference for Ryan McGivern over Lewis Stevenson - Pat Fenlon and Terry Butcher always selected the absolutely awful Michael Nelson ahead of Jordon at centre-back. When Jordon did get a game it was generally at right back. I felt he did okay there but he started getting a bit of stick from fans as he wasn't as good there as in the middle.

Since then he's had a few injuries that have kept him out and, during what was probably the season he had the best chance of fighting for a regular start (up against only Fontaine), he was out on loan.

Once that period was over Paul Hanlon had become a huge player for us, Fontaine had done well too and then we signed McGregor and Ambrose. It was always going to be difficult getting into the side in front of those guys.

Best wishes Jordon!

My thoughts aswell, good luck to him

**Thegreenside** · 30-06-2017 03:08 PM

Good luck to him. Been dealt a harsh hand in terms of injuries.

***green day*** · 30-06-2017 03:09 PM

God lad, unlucky with injury, I wish him all the best.

A pretty fair summary bud. Good luck to him down south. Hopefully he'll establish himself as a starter.

Cheltenham have a fair bit more money now. I know one of the directors and he is putting in plenty.
