'Sublime' - Nottingham Forest forgotten man sparks transfer talk

Nottingham Forest player Richie Laryea demonstrated his class whilst on international duty with Canada.

The 28-year-old joined the Reds last year from MLS side Toronto FC before re-joining the Canadian side on loan until the end of the season. Laryea made only five appearances during his time at the City Ground, as he struggled for game time under manager Steve Cooper.

But he appears to have enjoyed a new lease of life back at his old club, having started every match for Toronto since re-joining.

And he demonstrated his ability over the weekend after being voted man of the match for his country. Laryea provided an assist during Canada's 2-0 win against Curacao on Sunday.

Here's what Canadian fans had to say about Laryea's performance...

Sahal Abdi: The confidence I have when Laryea’s buzzing down that right flank for either #TFCLive or #CanMNT is astronomically high. Rarely ever makes a mistake. Incredible dribbler + crosser. Adept at drawing fouls. Everything you want in a modern RB.

Adam Palermo: Two assists in as many games for Richie Laryea. The dynamic right-back created Osorio’s goal for #TFCLive on Saturday, and just set up David’s opener for #CanMNT against Curaçao. No Johnston, no problem.

Lukas Weese: Watching this Richie Laryea pass for the Jonathan David goal on repeat. #CANMNT

Kenny B: Excellent goal. Davies overlap creates the passing lane and Richie’s weighted pass is sublime.

BernaSZN: #tfclive #canmnt what a ball by laryea ... perfectly weighted

TFCNU: Richie Laryea is driving yet another team to frustration. Truly, one of my favourite players on the planet.

Canadian journalist at OneSoccer, Oliver Platt added: Wonderful assist from Laryea last night. Reminder that his loan with TFC expires in the summer. Going to be interesting to see what happens next. It didn’t work out at Forest but Laryea has the quality to play at a good level in Europe.#CanMNT”
