Agreed. They could have sold him last year or the year before if so wished. They kept him on and hoped he would sign another deal for cheap/low wage

From the article today sounds like he has gone... despite rovers putting him in the retained list. Either they love to lie or one side of the club doesn't talk to the other side. Such a farce. He'll be missed...but he probably won't miss the shambles

Fascinating turn of events. Possibly Steve wanted to support the women's and owners didn't? No coincidence the timing of it all

Mate his article is frustrating Makes no sense. It's not even readable. So we have not extended forshaw ? The article suggests we will make a decision later but then says we aren't retaining him

I think we are speculating quite a lot here Yes he is a good player but Chelsea spend so much money whenever they want-I don't think they are linked to this deal. He will go to France for free and they will probably keep him, talent develop him (similar to how Chelsea operate) and sell him on eventually for a larger fee, maybe back to man city after a couple of years. I don't think Chelsea will take him on loan or after a season to avoid paying a small compensation that is quite unlikely based on Chelsea's track record

Why would he stay? He's probably on peanuts and has been a regular. Good injury record. Good championship squad player. He'll probably go to derby where JE will get better out of him like he did this season I'm always sad to see our players who put maximum effort, leave. Yes he doesn't score or assist as many as we expect but we finished 7th which was way above our expectations after last season so I think he's done alright this season

Was he looking like he was waving good bye? Different than the other players after the match?

Did he wave goodbye?

Blimey. Says it all doesnt it

I'd love a play off Vs Bristol. Time to put it right after last year's embarrassing game

He will be facing his future club in the final I guess. I think he's a natural replacement for rodri

Under rated. Pears ' injured ' and we stop conceding pointless goals and actually win a couple of games

We won't get into playoffs Was never the clubs ambition. Great we won again but we threw the play offs away a couple of months ago already

Good win for the fans Way too little too late in reality. The previous 8 games drew barely enough points and is relegation form. Glad we won but I'm not overly celebrating as this is meaningless with the direction of travel our beloved club is heading in. Glad the players are putting in some effort but our top 6 chances ended a couple of months ago now.

9 goals this season now. Shame about his injuries.
