Morgan Gibbs-White

[Father Paul]

He is not a top-tier signing ....He is good in all aspects, but does not excel in one particular aspect. He reminds me of Gini Wijnaldum from Liverpool. For the price Forest will demand, he is not worth it.

A fair assessment. I would say he is James Milner level. Good squad player but nowhere near elite level. I would have a punt on him if the price is right as he does offer legs, and adds a bit of physicality to our midfield. If Forest try to rip us off we should leg it fast.

I think MGW will surprise a few people on here, he'll excel with good players around him. It'll give Phil a boost too.

Just like Nunes and Phillips

I’d like him here, especially now that Wirz is off to the “can’t compete” club..works his socks off and has serious legs in midfield, just what we need. I can really see how he would fit in at City. He’d be like a buzz bomb in midfield, always on the move, creating space for other

He’s a very good player. I mentioned him on here after watching him early on in the season.

The usual posters are just doing what they do. There is nothing more BM than a poster who doesn’t understand the game and/or is a naturally miserable ****, wading in about something they know fuck all about.

The posters crying over Wirtz will have “watched” him by watching a YouTube compilation.

Very close contender for post of the week.

Bravo, squire.

Gini W type is exactly what we need!

Hi Mirgan

 

[Stoned Rose]

Well if Gibbs-White leaves City having played 250 games for us and having won a Premier League title and a European Cup then we'll have done alright out of him.

Forest apparently quoting £70m - him and Reijnders at £60m for roughly the price of Wirtz isn't bad business.

This will be City’s thinking. Is signing Wirtz for 150m really better than signing both Reijnders and MGW for £130m?

There’s no sane world where it can be argued it is.

Add that to my action figure mate ;)

Wijnaldum was an excellent player.

He’s a very Klopp player. Loads of energy , good technically but can smash it from outside the box but can press constantly. Same as Reijnders he’s similar. Midfield is giving the feel of a Klopp midfield.

Seriously if he is being considered partly.for hisnhome grown status I would rather we went for mikkel damsgaard

Grealish and Philips have ruined the reputations of English transfers. MGW isn’t an average player

He doesn't smash it from outside the box accurately. 3 goals in his career outside the box. 1 this season.

Here's his career goal map.

Grealish in 2nd gear is a better player than gibbs-white will ever be.

unfortunately he has lost his way seemingly off the field, but Jack hasn't damaged English players reputation with cityy fans

well he can get into those positions at Forest mostly through counters and vs defences that isnt packed by a parked bus. almost like a striker score map really.

Most times I have watched him play he has been one of the best on the pitch. I don't understand the negativity towards our interest in the player. Most of the season, the criticism of our midfield has been energy, legs, tenacity, etc. MGW has all of that, and he also can create and score. What is the issue?

His lack of technical quality
The fact that he plays for a team that plays in a completely different way to us
His lack of creativity against packed defences

I d9nt disagree with the attributes he has that you have mentioned....but if he is in our midfield we need more than that alongside him and I dint see us buying 3 midfielders
