Morgan Gibbs-White

Where are all these players we have signed from Brazil and Argentina over the last few years? Are they no better than Gibbs White?

We spend £100mill’s on these players and never see them in a City shirt, even though they are some of the best players in Brazil and Argentina when we sign them.

In relation to money we have just blown 150 million plus in January and signed Haaland on a mega deal and additionally we may have to look at purchasing in other areas such as right back, goalkeeper etc.

If MGW plays in the midfield I cannot see Wirtz playing there as well. If anything Pep is getting more conservative within the midfield three. It would more likely be Rodri a controller (Gundog /Bernardo/Kova) type player along with a MGW and Wirtz, just like it has been through his whole time here.

Additionall we will also potentially have Bernardo, Kova, Gundog, Foden, Grealish, Gonzalez, Echeverri to find game time for.

If we’re all in for MGW it probably means Wirtz is a non-starter.

That would be decidedly unambitious. MGW is average on a good day, while Bernardo and Gundogan are past it, Echeverri is completely unproven and Kovacic and Grealish offer almost zero goal threat.

If we go into next season with that as our midfield we’ll be having a worse season than this one.
 
Forest have lost 5 of the last 6 games when the pressure has been on them.

I'm assuming MGW has been injured seen as though he's apparently good enough to be the engine of a midfield that's competing to win the league and CL next season.

Awful footballer, who offered absolutely nothing when Forest needed to get on the ball and try and find a winner

I'd be so shocked if he ends up at City, I've not seen a single attribute that he has that's worth getting excited about

Correct.

We’ve made enough mistakes buying midfield players recently. Phillips & Nunes. We don’t need another mistake.
 
We're going to be paying upwards of £80m for a player that can run around a bit and offers up an "engine".

Lee Cattermole would be worth £80m in today's market.

I’ve always thought MGW was unambitious but, based on the money we would have to pay signing him, and Wirtz, is also unrealistic.

Look at Peps past midfields. One holding, another controller and a more forward thinking/decisive midfielder. No idea why people think he is going to change now.
