Other clubs' transfers


Recommended Posts

You have to think that for once, we've done things pretty quickly in getting Elanga, that if we hadn't, we'd have ended up not getting him because of the Gibbs-White situation. I don't think Forrest had any plans to sell both, just one of them if there were interest. If Elanga was still on the books, I see them selling Gibbs-White to Spurs with a lot less (no) fuss than currently being kicked up, and whomever coming in for Elanga after would have been quoted stupid money. 

 

But because it's the other way, Forrest get shafted and we got a steal.

From The Times on Gibbs White.Forest lodged complaint after illegal approach

 

Nottingham Forest have formally lodged a complaint with the Premier League over Tottenham Hotspur’s move for Morgan Gibbs-White.
Forest have decided to take action after consulting their lawyers, with the club claiming Spurs were never given permission to speak to Gibbs-White about a transfer and therefore made an illegal approach.
Forest also believe there was a breach in confidentiality around the existence of Gibbs-White’s release clause.
Gibbs-White looked set to join Tottenham after they expressed their intention to trigger a £60million release clause in the 25-year-old’s contract, but Forest’s complaint has halted the deal.
Gibbs-White was due to undergo a medical with Spurs on Friday but the attacking midfielder was back at pre-season training with Forest on Monday morning. Forest posted photos of Gibbs-White arriving at the training ground on social media.
The Premier League has not given a timeline for the conclusion of the case but the Tottenham head coach, Thomas Frank, would hope to have Gibbs-White signed before the squad fly out for their pre-season tour on July 28 and the friendly against Arsenal in Hong Kong three days later. Spurs have refused to comment on the action taken by Forest.
After learning of Tottenham’s move for Gibbs-White, who has two years left on his contract, Forest ceased all communication with the club. Forest officials claim Spurs breached Premier League Rule T.1, which states that any club wishing to talk to a player who is still under contract needs the prior written consent of the club the player is contracted to before an approach can be made

The GF thinks Morgan Gibbs wife is the one with the issue and of course is adamant that she is right in all this
