Morgan Gibbs-White

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

I’d happily pay 50-60m for him as an 8. 100m is crazy

No one serious, thinks we're going to close to 100m.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Don't rate him, be alright at advertising toothpaste though.

 

[vincent]

This is Grealish all over again.

A very good player who we will end up paying £100m+ for when his market value is around £60m.

Doubt it. 2 years left on his contract and if he refuses to re-sign they’ll be forced to accept around £60m. No way do they let him go down to 12 months.

 

[bugsyblue]

Strange how some people are trying to convince themselves this is a good signing. Got Nunes, Phillips written all over it.

 

[bobbymimms]

Dont think he is the answer. Only thing good the English quota for squad. Take him if no more than 30 mil. THATS no chance......

 

[bell_mcfc]

Look at the fixture list. I wouldn’t be surprised if Forest dropped points and lost a few games. They need top 5 to be in Europe and if they miss out the fee definitely won’t be anywhere near 100 (not that I think it will anyway)

I looked the other week and thought they had a fairly easy run in.

I’d also have him as our 8—he’s hardworking, covers ground well, and contributes going forward. As long as we don’t overpay—nothing above £50-55M—and most importantly, don’t sacrifice Reijnders for him, I’m all in. Reijnders is a priority. I know we are kind of forced to look at English players for the quota, otherwise I would not even consider him.

MGW could be our Bernardo, if Pep decides to let him go, and Reijnders would be the perfect successor to Gündoğan. Both would be massive upgrades and bring real strength to that box-to-box role. A midfield with them in the mix? That’s serious business.

I'm totally fine with MGW for the right cost. 100m is insane. I doubt the club will come close to bidding that.

That's a stretch

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

That's a stretch

People are comparing MGW to when we signed De Bruyne, Yaya and Silva so it's not the biggest reach on the thread

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Huge waste of money, yet again. O’Reilly can play in midfield next season, I’m not convinced that Gibbs White has more ability than him. It would be mental to be paying big money for a decent player, he’s not the calibre we need.

I’m a huge Bernardo fan—I know exactly who he is and what he brings, so let’s be clear: MGW is not on Bernardo’s level. Let’s not get carried away with the like-for-like comparisons.

What I’m talking about is purely in terms of the position—specifically the midfield role. Yes, I’m fully aware Bernardo is our Swiss Army knife, capable of playing almost anywhere. But if MGW were to come in, I’d much rather see him deployed in the 8 role rather than the 10. He’s got the work rate and engine to put in a serious shift there.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, he wouldn’t be my pick—but since the club is clearly considering him, I’d personally see him more as an 8 rather than a 10. That said, the fee should be sensible—ideally no more than £55M, and if we’re being rinsed, then absolutely no higher than £60M.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Refuse to believe this one is actually true. Likely an agent trying to get a new deal with his club.

 

[melrose40yarder]

Another Phillips or Nunes a no from me

I see your thinking tbh.

 

[WestGorton]

Not for me. Decent player but that's all in my humble opinion.

 

[ninjamonkey]

I like him, good player could have been a handy squad player for us but that's not what we need, We have those players already. We need the absolute best in class to replace the aging and declining best in class that won us everything. This kind of signing see's us drop into the same category as an arsenal/Liverpool possibly even lower in terms of ability. He'd also cost way too much. Hope this isn't true.

 

[King Jay]

he has ability but he has shown ability in the team that’s the actual opposite of City.

You are right it’s not bad at all. I thought it was tricky for some reason.

Spurs away, Chelsea home last game of the season.

Just had a look and think it’s Chelsea I was thinking of!
