'Yes please', 'The man to get us promoted' – Leeds fan in heaven as speculation mounts over 26-year-old
Leeds fans are delighted with the news that they are in talks over signing Middlesborough midfielder Adam Forshaw.
The Yorkshire Evening Post reported that Leeds are “confident” of signing the £2.5m-rated player, but face competition from Cardiff.
Leeds believe that Forshaw himself is keen on a move to Leeds and are willing to match Cardiff’s offer of £2.5million.
Phil Hay from the Yorkshire Evening Post, added to the fevered speculation when he replied to a Leeds fan on Twitter, saying that Leeds were “extremely keen” to sign the player.
very much so. They're extremely keen.

The latest news was released by Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie on his Twitter page on Wednesday lunchtime as the deal is seemingly accelerating.
He claimed that Leeds were now “in talks” to sign Forshaw.

Forshaw. Neat, tidy and breaks up play allowing the forwards to play. Would be a good signing that one #lufc

Decent player, for sure.

Area in dire need of strengthening hopefully is the partner Vieira needs in cm. Surely has to be a big improvement on Klich O’kane and Phillips

I'd be happy if we managed to sign Adam Forshaw could be the midfielder we've been lacking. #lufc

Finally things are starting to happen. Josh Windass as well Phil?

Leeds would benefit from another experienced CM & Adam Forshaw would be a welcome addition.
He has a very impressive distribution rate and a high work rate. He's averaged an 85.9% pass completion over the last 5 league seasons.
Likely to replace Klich & most similar to O'Kane. pic.twitter.com/SSogGWvEsT

However, one Leeds fan was a dissenting voice. He said that Leeds need to be looking at signing a striker instead.
We should be splashing out on a striker ffs!???? #lufc
