Foreshaw signed on for another year.

Forgive my excitement, it's hard to control myself.

[roversfan99]

As we all expected, probably after realising that actual quality costs money, we give Forshaw another year.

A player we released but all predicted would return. Not good enough.

I did enjoy this line, playing us for fools:

He becomes Rovers’ second signing of the summer, following the arrival of Belgian winger Dion De Neve earlier this month.

I wouldn't be paying a million quid for a keeper who was kept out by Pears. 

Phenomenal job by Pears to keep them out though given that's his usual challenge when goalkeeping 

[JBiz]

Re Pears - just adding my thoughts, it was never simply the Wigan gaffe that caused my own dislike of him, it is the constant nervousness he passes on to the defence, especially under pressure. Especially when JDT made him have the most touches per game after dropping Kaminski, a horrible time to watch rovers. I had empathy with Pears, he should’ve never been in that situation but that might also be down to my hatred of this modern trend in football for the keeper to be basically a sweeper.

The run of games with the fuckup vs Sheffield Wednesday. Seasons all blend into one for me nowadays, so I’m not sure what season it was - I particularly remember that goal he concedes vs Preston at home was just typical weak arse goalkeeping. 
 

No personality and I can’t see him getting better. It’s early days with Toth but Id go that way as I personally see far more potential.

I'll start.

Absolute fucking joke. The one area where we probably should be looking at academy players (4th or 5th choice backup) and we are signing up a guy who was generally piss poor after being brought in off the Plymouth scrap heap.

Bit early to start panic buying

Forshaw for another year.

As expected but an underwhelming addition (or whatever we're calling it).

A serious lack of ambition runs through this club.

It's because Trav or Tronstad are off and he's the replacement.

[RoversClitheroe]

Fucking shite

Forshaw is absolutely wank.

[RevidgeBlue]

Forshaw.

What a fucking joke.

Chaddy?

[JHRover]

Lowest hanging fruit stuff. Truly tragic but totally expected.

If they weren't still trying, and failing, to shift more season tickets it would be funny. They long ago gave up on any pretence of ambition or targeting quality signings so instead they're resorting to trying to exploit family ties/traditions as reasons for why people should hand over more cash to the regime. 

[rog of the rovers]

Forshaw is actually younger than both Weimann and Batth.

As a squad depth option on a cheap deal who will mentor/fill in, its not the worst. It isn't exactly inspiring though!

[simongarnerisgod]

even the lemons on facebook and the let can`t defend resigning forshaw,it`s an act of a club in it`s death throes and a confirmed indication that there won`t be any money spent on anyone

i wonder if val is aware about it????

[Forever Blue]

In isolation, Forshaw for an extra year isn’t a bad signing. He actually looked decent in patches late on in the season. He’s a good player to bring on as he’s composed on the ball.  He also wasn’t half as bad as people made out and I’m sure with a good pre-season behind him he’ll look sharper still. 

The problem is if he is a direct replacement for either Trav or Tron. In that context it’s just another cost-cutting exercise, but on a an even bigger level of stupidity.

We’ll see how the CM positions look at the end of the window to see the context. 

[Waggy76]

I think we are going to be relegated! 

[Rover1984]

Forshaw signing back is underwhelming. He Still got the nod to see games out before  Buckley and JRC.  If both the latter are sold and another Midfielder comes in then I can see the logic. But this is Rovers 

[RevidgeBlue]

We didn't want him originally, what's changed?

The pitchforks are out but you’re right, he’s an experienced head in much the same way as Batth and Weimann. But, yeah, hardly inspiring but not the worst signing in the world.

the way we operate,id`e say travis is going to be sold,garrett will be a starter and forshaw will be on at the hour mark,is it any wonder they put season tickets on sale extremely early🙂.at least they were cheap

100% that's what's happening. 

Both Sagnan and Antman have been linked but in both cases it's come to light shortly after that their valuation is £4m+, which is way beyond anything we'd be spending, meaning we were never genuinely looking to sign them.

batth and weimann can actually move about the pitch despite their age,forshaw`s leg have gone,that was blindingly obvious last season,15 minutes and he`s *******
