The right decision

Yes Patino likes to drop deeper. I think Fiorino looks for passes in all directions. Carey is more like Virtue, drives forward, quite direct, and less of a passing range than Fiorini, who moves around the pitch a lot more. If that makes sense. Beer and 00.19 hours.

Carey is much more imaginative than Virtue and he's got a real gift at finding space. He looks a bit like Virtue at the moment cos he's playing the foil role to Fiorini and bustling about but there is not a chance in hell that Virtue could have knitted the top end together like he did against Reading. I'm not dissing Virtue, he's just not got that in his game.

Watch him closely next time he plays, he's got a sensational ability to just hang on someone's shoulder and then step off and find a pocket of space or run off someone else's movement.

It's not showing at the moment as that's not been what he's being asked to do. He's being asked to drop in and cover Fiorini who as you say, likes to rove. So does Carey - that's the exact point I'm making.

I'm not playing them off each other - I like Fiorini, or at least the QPR game version but I'm just interested in if Carey has more freedom if he plays with Patino and thus can play that roving role that suits him more.

I hope he gets a chance as I think he's got something.

Carey is definitely more imaginative than Virtue. I'm sure there's more to come. Will be interesting to see how much he develops this season.

The lads just quadrupled his salary, for at least 3 years. He also leaves a medium sized working class town the North West of England for a life in the sun in a cosmopolitan capital city. Not only that but he leaves a club (of which he has no allegiance) with maybe 30,000 fans max for a club with millions of fans globally. If he performs well for Olympiacos (and as they’ll be a dominant force in their division that’s quite likely for an attacking player) then he’ll become a star in Greece and end up on the radar of even bigger clubs across Europe.

Personally think a season at Olympiacos is better than a season on the bench at Forest.

Is it the best move possible for his career - possibly not. Is it a quite incredible move for him personally - absolutely. He’s young enough to have another chance to make it in the Premier League or at a big Championship club but the chance to go and live and play at a club like Olympiacos won’t come around often.

Even as a tangerine I’d have given my left bollock for the opportunity Josh now has in Greece.

You make some good points, but even though my bollocks aren't much use now I'd prefer to offer your one, just in case.

Not sure Josh would agree when he’s spending his afternoons on the golf course, sat with his family in a nice taverna and buzzing around Athens with his partner enjoying his luxury lifestyle. He’ll be a celebrity in Greece. He’ll have sponsorship offers coming out of his backside. Olympiacos get far far more interest globally than say Blackpool or even clubs like Bournemouth. The Greek league isn’t a top league but it is a proving ground for good players. A decent season and he’ll be back in the Prem or moving to an even bigger European league. If I was a 23 year old lad I know I’d be pretty happy with the move.

And Olimpiacos regularly play in the CL and EL,though I haven't checked about this season. giving JB greater exposure. Also, the passion of the fans in Greece is well known.

Qualified for Champions League as usual as Greek Champions but knocked out in the qualifying Rounds and now in the group stages of the Europa League
 
A few people knocking the Greek league…. Marcelo just joined Olympiacos from Real Madrid. Pretty sure Josh will learn a few things training and playing with one of the best players of a generation !
