EXPLAINED: Nottingham forest fans all saying the same thing after latest transfer decision | Rare Historical Photos

Nottingham Forest supporters have taken to social media to respond to Xande Silva's departure to Dijon.

The Portuguese forward has joined the French Ligue 2 side on a reported three-year deal. Silva will wear shirt number 10 in what is his first career stint in France.

At Forest, he went on to make a total of 10 appearances following his switch from West Ham last summer, though failed to make a major impact.

Speaking to Dijon's club media, he said: "Dijon is a good French club that recently played in Ligue 1. The facilities are new and of higher quality. When the club offered me a contract, I was excited because the club's goal is to return to Ligue 1 soon. I liked the challenge and I'm happy to be here. We want to make fans happy."

Here is what the Reds faithful had to say...

NFFCBible: "All the best, Xande."

Tuppa: "One out, one in?"

Kieran: "He did a better job than I thought tbf to him. Hope to see a few more move on to trim the squad a bit more so we can get more in."

James Evans: "Class player on his day. Will shine at Dijon."

Mike: "Decent player but needed a bit more composure in front of goal to have really made an impact. Good squad player last year - good luck to him."

Claire: "Thank you and good luck with your future career Xande."

Guy Peacock: "Good luck Xande. Shame it didn't work out for you with us. But all the best for your future career."

PDNFFC: "All the best Xande, hope you smash it."

The Famous Club: "Another out the door... the squad reshaping continues. Fully expect another four to leave permanently or on loan, with maybe three more coming in."

Max: "Goodbye my sweet price."

Liam Henshaw: "An outgoing which makes sense. Was never really able to get the minutes needed to show what he can do. A good move for both parties."

Nathan: "Thank you for that cross against Reading!"
