Adam Forshaw (33) apparently off to Blackburn.

[SmoggyParmo]

Blackburn Rovers set to sign Plymouth Argyle player

John Eustace's men look set to add this 33-year-old to their ranks.

In the stands tomorrow?

Underrated player for us. Couldn’t break the Clayton Leadbitter axis

 

[Il Preside]

Interesting that back in the day Karanka never ‘rested’ players as seems to be the trend these days

I thought he did really well in the premier league for us.

I agree. He looked comfortable at that level, Clayton didn't.

I always liked Forshaw. He always looked tidy on the ball and decent technically. I imagine in his prime he'd fit right into the way Carrick plays.

Unfortunately he was behind arguably the best CM pairing in the champo. Leadbitter and Clayton were superb as a due. Just complimented each other so well. We are crying out for a prime version of either now. Especially Clayton type with Morris out.

That said Forshaw was one of very few who came out the prem season with any real credit.

The Forshaw twirl lives on.

I'm not sure Clayton could play in Carrick's system. We expect a lot from our midfielders in possession. I'm not sure Clayton was comfortable enough on the ball to do what would.be asked from him.
He was excellent at the role Karanka had him in which was essentially a destroyer and then just drop it off.

I really liked Forshaw and agree was the most comfortable at PL level out of him, Leadbitter and Clayton. He was well rated by Bielsa at Leeds as well who still involved him in the PL.after being promoted. He picked up quite a few injuries though.

Good luck to Forshaw. A likeable player. Probably going to be used mainly for cover at this stage in his career to be fair. Probably a bit of a risk given his injury record.

Decent player. Much the same as Butterfield: always around the squad and put in good performances, but never first on the team sheet.

That winner against Reading, right at the end>>>>>>

Allows me to run my Adam Forshaw story.

Went to see a few friends in Speke. Sat in a pub garden, lovely summers day, mate says "one of your ex-players is from round here". Oh who? "Adam Forshaw". I think he was at Leeds by then.

Five minutes later, a skinny, very fit looking bloke wanders past the pub garden. **** me, it's Adam Forshaw.

He rotated lots,and people moaned about it. There were just a few players who seemed to be able to play all the time without it impacting their performance, the midfield two and Gerorge Friend being the main ones

Yeah, he was being talked about as possibly being in an England squad in the early days of the season.

 

[weemoby]

He was quite a liability at Argyle. None of my Argyle-supporting mates will be sad if (when?) he leaves the club. He was great for us back in the day.

Wonder if the move is down to Forshaw's link to the head of football operations at Blackburn. He did play alongside him for half a season.
