I think not standing by him would send out all the wrong signals and again just be so unlike Bielsa. This is a manager and a club that rewards loyalty, Forshaw was injured playing for Leeds, I'd be shocked if they dump him.
This absolutely, I think Marcelo wants him around, rates him, would be good cover if we can get him fit. I don't wanna be that club that treats players badly. Pablo decided he wanted to move on, I think he could have spent another season coming of the bench every now and then. Gaetano and Alio have come to the end of their contract as will Forshaw next year..Mountain wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 10:50 am But maybe the rest of the squad and manager love Forshaw, maybe he's a great influence, maybe he drives others on.

That's precisely what the club did with Berardi, in fact they went way waaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond it and offered him a new contract knowing it was writing off money. Plus they offered Alioski a new contract, he didn't accept it. As with Pablo, he got old, but even though he had a much reduced role the club still didn't terminate his contract early, as is suggested they do with Forshaw now. I think it wholly different to Berardi and Forshaw getting injured while playing.
You can't simply terminate contracts because a player gets injured and hardly like a player is going to decide to terminate early as it isn't like they could then sign for another club and play given that they are still injured. It is the same risk with every signing really, 1 bad injury and and it can lead to other injuries. Forshaw isn't like JKA in that he doesn't want to play and is happy just picking up a wage.Cjay wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 1:24 pm They wont cancel his contact but lets not pretend he hasnt been extremely poor value for money and a flop.
£4.5mil and one of our highest earners due to the Premier league contract he was on at Boro when we signed him.
3.5 years on £40k a week plus for 52 games.
He has cost us over £10mil i imagine for very little.
He may be a nice guy but we arent a charity, the club have stood by him and paid him millions of pounds as well as paying for his medical care id think for very little substance on the pitch
We owe him nothing imo, the club have been very generous already and a football club shouldn't be sentimental.
In 12 months he will be released, wish him well in his life but as a player he goes down as a very expensive flop.
It's a risk for any player and club especially when signing a player on long term contracts.Cjay wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 1:24 pm They wont cancel his contact but lets not pretend he hasnt been extremely poor value for money and a flop.

He was a crock when we signed him in 2018 & nearly four years later still a crock.hector wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 3:37 pm Jeez thank goodness I don't work for you Cjay.....
The club should be paying for his medical bills, he was injured in the line of duty for us!!
We owe him his wages whilst he is under contract with us...
When emplyers start cancelling contracts due to injuries, it becomes a very sad state of affairs..
Let the lad be mate.... he is a trier, and wants to do good, so he should be given the chance...
Think back, about 4 seasons ago, not many would have questioned it if Dallas was let go.... And now look at him!!
....And I knew many Wolves fans who were angry that they let him go to us ...been a stalwart in their promotion push142 league appearances in five & half seasons averaging 26 games a season is not great in League 1 & the championship. missed our first two games after signing at the end of January, aggravated a previous calf injury in March, sustained a toe injury in pre-season. Three injuries in his first six months at Leeds. God knows how he passed his medical
