Optimistic Nut Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 They paid about £40m didn't they? Guessing he'd be about £55-60m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 As long as we don’t spend £40m on Emile Smith Rowe I don’t mind miggy going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I’ve mentioned Gibbs-White here before as someone I’d want but yes, would likely cost too much. Read something somewhere about a release clause but no idea if true. Edited January 22 by Collage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I really like Gibbs-White and possibly Forest need the money with their financial breaches But it does seem a bit odd if we are willing to pay close to £50mil for an attacking midfielder if we turned our noses up at Maddison last summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 He’s also right footed and not a winger. I don’t get that one at all. He’s not a Mighy replacement. Theoretically he could play 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I wonder if we'd revisit Williams? The Athletic claimed he was our top target for right wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Gibbs White is superb imo. Would love him here, think they paid £25m plus add on's, so it would be an expensive one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It is worth watching this one again, it shows the work out in developing the Under 21s so players can interchange in to a number of positions and Ashworth played his part in that. Gordon and Gibbs-White were an important part of the success last summer and both have similar qualities, with Gibbs-White being the better player on the ball.

STM Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Actually didn't realise it was 25m plus add-ons for Gibbs-White. If those add-ons haven't yet been achieved, it could well be a goer. Let's say for example Forest have paid 35m for him so far, a 45m bid from us might look tempting given how it would look from an FFP perspective at their end. He might play as a 10 but a transition into an attacking 8, a inverted RW or even an option up front are hardly a million miles away, considering his ability. He's a player I really rate. Proper carried Forest at times. Won't please the Eddie Howe Brexit mags brigade though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Gibbs-White link is interesting in the same way the Maddison interest was interesting in the Summer. Seems to hint at something of a evolution of style. I'm sure he could do a job out wide, but as others have mentioned, he has spend most of his career playing through the middle. Not as an outright 10, but certainly an 8/10 hybrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 MGW is a great player and I'd be happy to see him here. But he's certainly not a like for like Miggy replacement. Nor is he a Joelinton replacement. Feels more similar to Tonali in the way he plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
