He's more tricks about him than a fairground monkey and, on his day, can get around anyone. His final pass/finishing is tho a bit ropey.
Like the others who've gone, we wouldn't have won the cup without him and for just that we should be eternally grateful.
I would however now take the £4.5m.
MIDDLESBROUGH are poised to announce the signing of Wigan Athletic midfielder Adam Forshaw.
Forshaw, who has also played for Brentford since graduating from Everton's academy, was at Boro's Rockliffe Park training ground this morning to complete the formalities of a £2m switch from the DW Stadium.
The central midfielder is effectively a permanent replacement for Milos Veljkovic, who has returned to Spurs after a loan spell on Teesside, and will swell a central-midfield unit that already boasts Grant Leadbitter, Adam Clayton and Dean Whitehead.
The 23-year-old Liverpudlian is expected to sign a three-and-a-half year deal within the next 24 hours, and should be available for Saturday's promotion clash with his former club, Brentford, at Griffin Park.

If Te Vrede does leave for Wigan, Feyenoord will be looking to sign a replacement, with ex-Vitesse striker Mike Havenaar the number one target.

FORSHAW NEARS BORO MOVE
According to Sky sources, Middlesbrough are close to agreeing a deal to sign midfielder Adam Forshaw from Wigan.
Forshaw, who spent his youth career at Everton, was signed by ex-Wigan boss Uwe Rosler only last summer.
Can't see this happening... We apparently only want loan players?Originally Posted by Les_bradds_lad
to cash in on Forshaw is a real bonus... . we should be spending some of the money from the sale of CM and AF on a couple of new signings... as in the striker for € 1 m .. £ 750,000... not exactly breaking the bank..
