Morgan Gibbs-White

[chesterbells]

Not bothered about Wirtz, don't see anything really special about him, but Gibbs-White does not improve us one jot, rather keep what we have. He's Kalvin Phillips (at time of buying him) 'light'.
People who try and convince themselves that Gibbs-White is good enough (not even close) are the same as those 'crying' over Wirtz.
There's a video of Forest players being asked who their 'player of the season' is......Sels most popular, followed by Wood and Milenkovic, says everything ;)

Plenty to respond to there, but I’ll just pick the last sentence. I’m sure that fact they know he’s very likely leaving them plays a role in players saying stuff like that on a club video.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Agreed - say they both come for 125k a week it leaves another player able to be funded from Kev’s wages and a chunk on the transfer fee as well. Building a squad not just a first 11

A lot of blues forget the club is a business not a computer game.

 

[pauls]

He's more than decent.

If Wirtz DOESNT want to come ,he doesn't want come, this lad is decent and we need homegrown if we're losing a couple, plus the obligatory City Tax.

My view on this deal is going to depend on the price...

If the 70M number is correct, I think it's a solid piece of business.

But at 100, no thanks.

God help him when he signs. Opinions have already been made. If he checks social media it won’t be the welcome he’d think. Not even kicked a ball for us or signed but everyone’s already judged him.

Just so I've got this right.

You would be against this lad so we can watch Gundogan and Kovacic again in midfield next year?

Price is irrelevant 'on the pitch'......you get the same whether you spent £10 or £billion. A good transfer is buying better than what you have, a bad transfer is buying not as good.
I know books need to be balanced....but beating Arsenal in the 'net spend' competition, isn't the trophy we are aiming for ;)

And if it's £50mill does that make him world class?

Turning your nose up at Gibbs White is embarrassing behaviour, he’s one of the best 10’s in the league

I’m not saying he’s Wirtz level but you clearly don’t watch football those of you that seem to think he’s Kalvin Phillips level.

Kovacic is better than Gibbs-White, Gundogan? Not alot in it......if we buy a replacement, they need to be FAR better than Gundogan is now, and Gibbs-White isn't.

 

[richards30]

Cunha would be a better signing than Gibbs White

Not a lot in it.

Pahaha. Ok, I'll leave you too it.

Completely different players.

Rooting for you Gibsy :)

In your opinion.....alot of the 'glazing' posts, look 'copy & pasted' from the Phillips thread, when we were buying him. Our slow, aging, lost it midfield, which gets blamed for everything .....along with, our entire defence injured for half of it, as good as no Haaland (2nd half the season) and Foden (all of it) who have not offered much to say the least.....are still better than Forest, who have not been 'carried' by Gibbs-White.
Teams 'around us' are not full of players better than we have.....or we'd be needing a win to get in the uefa conference tomorrow.
Kelvin Phillips level? He was a starter for England at the time ;)

Why do some of our fans go down the "you don't understand football", "you don't know ball", "your football knowledge isn't great" route when people have an opposing view to them. It's very weird

It's always been like that though hasn't it, it's more constant now with the rise of football forums/twitter/podcasts and bloggers etc.

It is odd when you stop and actually think about it.

They are asking for Nunes or McAtee in a separate deal ;)

Send Nunes, sell McAtee elsewhere, Buy the 2 Brazilian RBs (would say Livra but zero chance)
