Morgan Gibbs-White

[Pingu the Penguin]

We were not miles off it in 2025, in fact everyone, including your team were off us. If you look at City's form vs time, you'll see an anomaly in Nov, Dec that correlates strongly with Rodri and Kovacic's injuries.

We put points on the board in 2025 in a way we didn’t in the second half of 2024 for sure. But let’s not kid ourselves that we played well.

 

[Zenmanc]

Need to trust the club. Maybe they know who is leaving and where we will end up short. Every summer we ain’t gonna find a silva, kun, kdb type player. They are hailed as footballs best for a reason.

Clear the deck and let’s see how we are come kick off.

Yep. So many here assume that our brass are just throwing darts at the wall hoping for the best.

 

[youngbob]

Still wouldn't be opposed to this.

 

[blueparrot]

If we are bringing him in at 60-70m and shipping Gundo and Kova out, I love it.

also would allow us some flexibility at the RB spot and we could get a non HG RB.

Wouldn’t give us any flexibility for right back, maybe less. Gundogan and Kovacic need to go to make room regardless of any more additions.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Sadly I think you're way off in that prediction.

Fair enough. Based on pure talent and ability I know who I would pick though

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Much in the mould of Livramento, he’s a £50m player who will probably demand an £80m fee.

 

[bell_mcfc]

Always expected this to be done if we had departures. Expect the talk of this happening again means the beginning of some movement.

If to replace let’s say Gundo it makes the RB spot easy to cover as doesn’t have to be homegrown for the quota?

 

[Matt Diablo]

I hope it isn't true. If so, we are buying for buyings sake. We are stacked in the middle of the park.

Would rather we focused on RB and CB options.

Players who can or cant run/ sprint?

Much in the mould of Livramento, he’s a £50m player who will probably demand an £80m fee.

Much like Livramento Forest and Newcastle didn’t pay much less than that for both Tino and MGW so will never happen at those fees.

But saying that MGW contract is shorter and they like some players here so could see that deal out of the two of them being the one that we get a better deal.

 

[skillman]

I'd be buzzing with this. Gundo and McAtee leave and MGW comes in. His tenacity, energy and genuine ability would be great here. He'd really compliment Rodri and Reijnders too.

And with the new tactics seemingly being built around our '8's moving into space and making runs from deep, I think he'd be a perfect fit.

That Veysey is another chancer, pitiful

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Always thought we would go back in for him once players leave.

[Tugay One Cup]

I was against this when I thought he was the midfield target but now we've got Reijnders I think he'd be a good addition.

Only issue I've got is that it more than likely would mean not signing Livramento or another quality right back and that's more important.

Only issue I've got is that it more than likely would mean not signing Livramento or another quality right back and that's more important.

But if we bring in MGW in place of an overseas player (e.g. Gundo), then that means we're no longer limited to a homegrown RB, so we no longer need to massively overpay for Livramento and can look at getting better value elsewhere.

 

[TFC]

I still think we are gasping for the kind of energy he can bring. Just hope we don't get bent over, English tax is a piss take.

Not sure it’s the type of midfielder we need tho is it ?

The issue is that there aren’t any good RB who are not homegrown and would be significantly cheaper.

 

[manimanc]

I like his energy and he has a bit of an edge to him. He's an established Premier League player and has bags of experience. I'd take him whereas before I was 50/50.
Mcatee ain't never going to establish himself as a first teamer as he'd have done it already.

No it doesn’t buying one homegrown player or 2 has nothing to do with whether we can buy a non homegrown right back. It would just mean we we have to sell more homegrown players as well as the same amountbof non homegrown.
