'Can only mean one thing' - Nottingham Forest fans have this theory after striker decision

Rafa Mir's nightmare loan spell at Nottingham Forest has been cut short, the club have confirmed.

The Wolves striker joined in the summer, initially on a season-long loan deal, but has failed to have any impact at The City Ground.

Mir made 13 appearances in the Garibaldi - only four of which came in the first XI, and just two of those starts in the Championship - and failed to find the back of the net.

He has been left out of the matchday squad in recent weeks by head coach Sabri Lamouchi and he last featured in the 2-2 draw at Millwall back at the start of December.

Lamouchi hinted at the start of the month that Mir, along with fellow loanee Arijanet Muric, from Manchester City, would end their time with the Reds early.

Upon his return to Wolves, the Premier League club have announced Mir will now join Spanish side SD Huesca on an 18-month loan deal.

With Forest in the market for a striker to ease the burden on Lewis Grabban and Mir's confirmed departure, fans are all thinking that could mean an incoming could be on the near horizon:

@Clarkey_no1: This tells me something is up Mr Lamouchi's sleeve

@Chris79801: Didn’t work, these things happen. We move on. What this tells me though is that we have someone or something up our sleeve

@Forestfanzone: Surely must mean a striker is close to coming in... only Grabban no

@ws19eaton: Must be confident of getting two then

@Grabbsman: Mir being let go can only mean one thing

@LiamKFootball: Fair to say this move never worked. You'd think this would mean a striker is imminent at the City Ground.

@HomeDrizzy: Now that Mir is officially gone that must certainly mean a striker signing is imminent

@FritzRomanov: Guessing something is close for a new forward then

@AdamjGibb94: Announce a striker

@Kingkieren10: Now confirm that Walker is recalled please
