Transfer Rumour Morgan Gibbs-White

[brieverton]

Percy among the best sourced football journalists. Usually spot on with everything,

They reject our bid for MGW whilst in talks with Burnley to sign Nathan Collins for £20.5m.

Despite their relegation Collins is arguably Burnleys best player and most sellable asset, and has already established himself as a full ROI international at the age of 20.

Just shows the unjustified premium when it's a fellow PL club that's bidding. £10m added to the cost just because. I hadn't even heard of this guy a fortnight ago.

Isn’t this bloke absolute pap anyway?

Isn't he similar to Dele? Also we don't play with a number 10. Good player, but doesn't seem to suit us.

It's the comments for me, fans are very sad that he left

The fact that Notts forest immediately are trying to sign him having played against.

Its more in it than Forest having played against him.

Forest manager Steve Cooper coached England U17 when they won 2017 World Cup. Gibbs-White scored in the final.

Before joining Forest Cooper managed Swansea where he had Conor Gallagher, Mark Guehi and Gibbs-White on loan. All from the same World Cup squad. Players he trust.

No

He's an 8.

He has been out on loan and has two years left on his contract. Meaning that Wolves have two options. Sign him up on a new contract or sell him this summer.

Gibbs-White will and should not sign a new contract without guarantees that he will get minutes. Wolves try to convince him.

When Forest, Palace and Everton all want to pay big money for his signature, he has reason to believe that he will get minutes there.

In addition the Chinese owners at Wolves does not seem to want to spend much this summer. The club will need to sell to buy. And by selling Gibbs-White they get money in without weakening the squad from last season.

So if Wolves won't give him playing time, we should buy him?

 

[GoldenToffee]

Can we sling Tom Davies in their direction to offset £1m of the cost?

Not in the Championship.

Wolves is a special club. Where passport and agents decide who plays and not.

Where the agent for half the squad works as a consultant for the club and have a say for all transfers.

Even in a situation like that Everton will get mugged.

They're just 'kin hopeless at running a football club.

If he isn't good enough for them then why would we take him.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

If reports are correct the price is too high.
We must be able to identify similar prospects for less outlay.
We have the whole world to scout after all.

He is a bit more than that, has a controlling stake in the club.
