Morgan Gibbs-White

[Sky Blue Mon]

All these people slagging him off before he has even signed does my head In , just wondering how many are fireside fans not spending money to support our team
Just wondering what inside knowledge they have to support their theory that he is a crap footballer

Agree with you, I don't want him but if he comes I'll back him like I always do with new players, then judge him after a season.

Tbh this is par for the course on here, there hasnt been a single player we have signed in the last ten years that a multitude of people on here havent said that they werent good enough etc, rodri was derided as being 2 slow when we 1st signed him, some people were outraged when we didnt shell out for maguire instead of dias, the list goes w
on.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

We've made several fuck ups in the transfer market over the last few years but if we break the bank for this guy it will be the biggest one yet. Average at best.

Inside knowledge?
Just watch him? He’s on Sky Sports main event now actually.
Proving once again he’s worth nowhere near £100m.

Plenty of energy and always shows for the ball though. He might even pop up with a goal tonight.. but so far, so average.

If he was called Mörgen Gibbs-Weiß and he played for Freiburg and was as good as he is now, we’d have posts going on about how good our recruitment is from the Bundesliga and he’ll be a great long term Gündoğan and Kovačić replacement and they’re looking forward to seeing him play for us.

He would already be playing for die schwartzgelben if that was true.

I am warming to idea of MWG I think he is grossly overpriced but there is something about his tenacity that appeals.

Yes, he is tenacious, and very demanding of the players around him. A good sign, I suppose.

was a really good write up on him in the Athletic the other week, where they watched him for the whole game. Defo the managers voice on the pitch directing things

 

[Matt Diablo]

You do wonder what the clubs strategy is for replacing KDB. MGW is a decent enough player but not good enough for the aspirations we have or, for the cost, going to significantly improve the side.

A year later we will be on here saying we need to sign a KDB replacement and MGW will be blocking a place in the squad. Similarly in midfield we won’t be going for Wharton as we have a 50m pound Gonzalez/Nunes/Phillips who rarely gets trusted to play but are filling places.

He be gundog replacement

The "inside knowledge" is I've watched him play. Is there another way to assess a footballer as a football fan? Perhaps you can just go off stats alone, but that doesn't do him any favours either.

Put another way, imagine that the name city were linked with was Marcus Rashford or Antony? Do you feel the same way?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I guess you're a 'happy clapper' and couldn't wait to see 'what Pep could do' with Phillips either lol
Wherever the name 'Doku' comes from....it certainly isn't English, which is the point the poster was making....are you one of those 'facebook grammar police' ?

 

[christened at st marks]

I was all for giving him ago but watching the Palace Forrest game, an average player in two mid table teams

 

[Nevizade]

End product been poor tonight but still at the heart of everything they do and carries the ball well

 

[Mad 4 It]

He’s average, sorry if you don’t like that but he is.

 

[franksinatra]

He be gundog replacement

I think Gundog is more of a controller/dictator of the pace of the game where as MGW is more a risk player/maverick more suited to replace KDB, as is Wirtz. Hence why I think it’s unlikely we will be chasing both of them as we also have Foden, Marmoush, Bobb who can play that advanced midfield role.

For me, if Gundog was to leave (triggered a one year extension) we would be pursuing a player more similar stylistically to a Barella, Fabian Ruiz etc.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Eze is a better player

 

[franksinatra]

No it doesn't money wise there is no issue, we've been in profit for the last 3 years.MGW isn't the 10, we need 2 midfielders.Marmoush will play in the front 2/3

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’s exactly what my Forest mate said .

You aren't allowed say that on here mate, The "judge him when he joins" brigade will be out in force with pitch forks.

You are being kind calling him "average" too in my opinion.

We've let academy products leave the club that are far better footballers than Gibbs-White.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Eze is a better player

100% agree.
