Leeds United Super Fans react to Adam Forshaw contract admission
This is part of a regular series from our panel of Leeds United Super Fans. Each week, Super Fans from our Leeds Insider Facebook page will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around Elland Road…
———————
Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw has enjoyed a phenomenal return to the side after finally getting through his injury hell.
A hip injury led to two years on the touchline at Elland Road, with numerous surgeries and failed returns completed.
Marcelo Bielsa has been patient and rewarded Forshaw with a consistent spot in the side over the past two months, and he has certainly been rewarded.
Forshaw first came back against Leicester in that 1-1 draw, and he has started every single game since for the Whites.
That is a real sign that his fitness is back where it needs to be, as he helps Kalvin Phillips tremendously in that midfield.
Not only that, but out of players to play more than 300 minutes this season, Forshaw has covered the most distance per 90 minutes [Jonny Cooper].
That is brilliant to see, and the man himself has already expressed his urge to stay at the club, with his contract expiring in the summer.
We asked our esteemed panel of MOT Super Fans if they would offer Forshaw a new deal after his reemergence into the side and the response was overwhelming.
The majority of them agreed that the midfielder has earned another contract at the club, with a one-year deal mooted.
Here’s what they said below…
There is still a long way to go until the end of the season, but if Forshaw continues to prove himself between now and then, it would be impossible not to reward him with a new deal.
