What if the Gibbs white fee is too big and we’ve decided Cherki would be cheaper for the same quality?

They would be correct as well?

For the millionth time…not every signing has to be a superstar!

If he was called Morgo Gibbs-Whitinho, everyone would be up his arse and scriking if he went to Liverpool. A lot of our fanbase are beginning to sound like spoiled little children.

I just can't see they're linked. MGW should be a signing for the 8 position because of his energy, not somebody to rely on creativity for - I'd hope anyway, and that's coming from somebody who really likes him and wants us to get him.

But his skillset is more than just creating IMO, if we shoehorn him into that type of role then we lose the whole package he'd bring.

A lot of reports say they’d sign him as a 10 though.

If you don't rate a player and want the club to do better than means you're spoiled? Really weird

 

[Nevizade]

Its on his facebook page which has 24million followers

Fair enough. Didn’t think he’d put ‘wanna’ on there but gladly proved wrong if our interest is firm and legit

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Would love to hear the call thats about to happen between Pep and this kid.

I doubt that very much.
We are too well run a club that our management and fan base would even consider the nationality of a player or what club they come from. The day of shiny new toys is gone.
I think Simpson Pusey may have been the only one with a double barrelled name that played for us this season and I believe he was born in Huddersfield.

Getting called weird for thinking that a portion of our support is acting childish because they can't get what they want. Imagine if he signed and was a success for us, wouldn't that make you weird by your logic?

 

[Kladze]

Not on his Twitter feed so fake news unless he's said it on a podcast

Why fake news? He posted it on his official Facebook page.

Edit: I now see that someone already pointed it out.

Just cleared that up previous page. Delighted to be wrong if we get this kid

I think it's more a case of "1 home-grown player" and others.
So if we do sign Livramento, it'll be Reijnders, Livramento, Cherki etc
Or if we sign Wesley, it'll be Gibbs-white, Reijnders, Wesley etc.

Feels like the club are looking at different options to tick the home-grown quota then, buying around it.

Solid shout to be fair. That first group of players looks mouthwatering and wouldn’t cost the earth

Yep, by this time next summer, would could have said goodbye to Walker, Grealish, Stones and Ake, so we'll be needing at least one this summer and one or two next summer to keep a decent squad size.

A 4-2-3-1 with Cherki, Bobb and Foden as the 3 with attacking FBs could be very entertaining.

Throw in Marmoush, Doku and Savio for depth and thats solid.

I suspect 4231 is the formation we go with with rotating wide fullbacks.

This is essentially what Barca does.

 

[ScottSinclair]

He f*cking should be to be fair

I’d like some reindeer with a side of jerky por favor

While I think thats true, Cherki is for the 10 and MGW is for the 8.

We are buying Reijnders who is more of an 8, and Nico G needs to play more, who is also more of an 8, even when Rodri was absent, Pep played Kova as the 6 with Nico as an 8.

So im not entirely sure how necessary MGW even becomes.

Lets say we set up in a 4231, with the 6-8 as a 2, and the 10 slightly more forward, for me the options look like this:

10 - Cherki, Foden, Bobb
8 - Reijnders, Nico G, Lewis
6 - Rodri, Kovacic

I would argue as well that Kova, Foden or Bobb can play as an 8 in a crisis.

Or Nico G as a 6 inba crisis.

And thats still with Gundogan and Bernie as backups, with both likely staying. But even if both left, thats pretty good depth in midfield no?
