You are right to remind me of the Forest v Leicester game, nevertheless I don't remember MGW doing that much in April and May when Forest blew up. IMO MGW should be a target but if we are looking to make one midfield signing, I wonder if he should be our no. 1 target.
If it was only him then I completely agree, but that doesn't sound like the strategy.
It's a bit dismissive to exclude his impact across the whole season. The whole side buckled under the pressure, but I think you can point the finger at others before MGW. His output over the past three seasons has been impressive considering the clubs he has played for.
As I said before, it's whether he can do it against more defensive teams and in a side where we want all of the ball. Will he be as effective? He's got a lot of energy and clearly is very creative, but when expectations are so high and he needs to deliver from the one moment he might get in a game, can he do it? That's the biggest risk in my opinion. Ultimately it comes down to cost because it's a position we have to get right and if he's going to cost a lot of money then that just piles more pressure on him and I don't think he's worth it.
