It reeks of an absolutely shite budget tbf. I’m holding on to the fact that Eustace wants him and he’s been a good judge so far with experienced signings. Forshaw was a good player in his day, I’m presuming he can still do a bit. Also our CMs don’t move very far so if he hangs around the centre of the pitch keeping hold of the ball and starting attacks then he could be a shrewd addition.

But he doesn’t.

And to clarify, you think they’re terrible signings?

It’s sounding like you’re on the fence with this signing

We’re only ‘chasing the play-offs’ because the man who wanted those two ‘fucking shit signings’ has put us in that position. Probably a point worth considering, maybe?

They don’t lack money, they just won’t invest it in Rovers. It’s been the same for 14 long fucking years. Have you been on the moon?

Welcome to the club, midfield maestro 🔥 He could be a good stop-gap until Travis is back.

If Eustace wants Forshaw then I want Forshaw because I want Eustace.

Makes perfect sense. We’re short at CB and RB and Carter won’t be back until Feb. Whether Sanderson is any good is a different matter….but I trust Eustace to sign good defenders.

‘Where it’s at….he’s got 2 league appearances and a drinking driving charge’ Classic Beck!

Heeeeerrrrrrreeeeee’s Tommy!

Almost poetic

Centre half from Brum. Played under Eustace in the Championship for them iirc.

Dogshit Signing?

Danny Shittu?

Can you stop being reasonable please.

Because they don’t want to.

No shit!

Forshaw was a good player. Not seen him play for ages but might be a shrewd acquisition, in the same way Batth has been.

It’s player specific. Being slow or old doesn’t mean you can’t perform at a high level.

Barry Bannan is doing ok and I’m quicker than him. Class will always be permanent

Which is irrelevant

You don’t really need to be able to get round the pitch when you’ve got class. Mark Noble made the mistake of thinking you do when he came up against that ‘scruffy grey-haired old fella’ called Tugay. Hughes had similar class as he showed in the LC final.

In what way?

You’re right, apologies. I’ll put it in my gratitude journal.
