Coffee_Johnny Posted Tuesday at 07:34 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:34 First games looming, could be an exciting three weeks transfer wise. Hoping we get our main business done in the next fortnight. Big signing w/c 15 July after Euro final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted Tuesday at 07:56 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:56 The thing our midfield lacks the most if real pace, we have it up top and our full backs are ok.. but midfield we will always struggle when chasing back, and equally struggle to break lines and carry the ball at pace towards a defence. When you have the likes of Gordon, Isak or Barnes looking to run onto a through pass while someone like Gibbs-White runs at pace directly at defenders, that presents a whole different scenario than what we currently have. The front three could essentially change positions throughout a game which would be a nightmare for opposing teams.

Not a number 10 that occasionally drifts out to the right It's possible that we'd do both, now that Anderson has gone. I'm more than convinced that MGW could play right, 10 and 8 but I would like a more orthodox RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted Tuesday at 07:57 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:57 I think there has been healthy debate recently about the type of right winger we do need, with some fans saying we need more of a technical wide man that can pick a pass against the low block and others preferring a similar profile to what Gordon brings down the left. Gibbs-White is a hybrid of both, he is proficient in the technical side but has the work rate and drive to run at players when needed. We have also seen that the better technical wide players are comfortable coming in to the middle and playing in the 10 role, so I don’t see it as a stretch to think that MGB would be as comfortable on the right as he is through the middle. If anything, I could see him and Tonali swapping positions during the game like Joeinton and Willock did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted Tuesday at 08:13 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:13 MGW seems a similar profile to Maddison and Szoboszlai who we where supposed to be very keen on last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted Tuesday at 08:16 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:16 I don't claim to be any sort of analyst (or TCD😂), and I don't watch Forest that often but i'm sure MGW is very (very) one footed (right). I'd love us to sign him, I think he's great, but i'm not that sure Eddie would want another player to heavily reliant on one foot on the right hand side. I could well be shot down here with video upon video of him sticking them in the top corner with his left 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think the Anderson fee is all part of a MGW to us fiddle factor. We’ll know in good time. Would be happy if we get him. Willock needs another porn ‘tache to compete with!

I prefer him to Szob, a lot more dynamic. I’d say Maddison is the better player but he’s a bit older so MGW fits us more than the other two would have done. He’d be a very different player to what we have but it doesn’t solve the RW problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusually for a British player, he much prefers to use the outside of his right foot rather than use his left. However, he is pretty good with that, so I'm not sure it's a problem. It was quite an impressive highlights reel. He is very quick, and that would be an asset for us. In fact, it made me wonder why he hasn't made the England squad. I guess there's a fair bit of competition of that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could well be shot down here with video upon video of him sticking them in the top corner with his left 😂 He isn’t as one footed as Miggy but he does overly favour his right foot. The difference between the two is that Almiron will work to get the ball back on to his left at the detriment of play, whereas Gibbs-White won’t, instead using the outside of his right foot if he couldn’t pick the pass with his left.

kingxlnc Posted Tuesday at 08:53 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:53 Wouldn't mind a purple RW PLUS Soule - almost the Minteh and backup replacement in one go. Murphy is more the dogsbody journeyman who fills in now and then, the new Ritchie perhaps but higher calibre. Even MGW plus Soule, gives us different options. MGW is very good and has those Bruno level high standards too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
