Morgan Gibbs-White

[scaramanga]

Hmmm.

 

[Daveeeeeeeed]

Delayed or off for now. Illegal tapping apparently

 

[fernadez]

Be a move to not lose face.

If there is a release clause and it's met, nothing to be done. It's poor player management on their part. Apparently it was meant to be a secret that he had one.

How can it be off if release clause is triggered and player wants to join? You can bet City or someone will come back in now. Surely what Forest wants at this point.

 

[JerusalemMan]

It's unlike the Forest chairman to behave in a petulant irrational manner.

 

[fernadez]

So yeha it looks like they are tinkled because the release clause has been made public, hence us and City coming in. The inference being that the player and his team have been talking to clubs behinds Forests back and leaked the clause.

Thing is, it's common practice now talk to players before agreeing with the club so Forest are just delaying the invevitable.

This will undoubtedly go on for a while.

 

[Robbo]

As long as the reports are true he wants to join us, this will be resolved I'm sure. Otherwise it'll be the first "here we go" not to come true?

 

[Finney Is Back]

Hmmm.

Maddison is strangely underrated by a fair portion of our fanbase.

 

[harr1984]

Why would a release clause be a secret? The whole point of a release clause is you tell the club wanting to sign the player that's what you will have to pay for him. Otherwise you are just bidding for a player until it randomly hits a release clause number.

Just sounds like petty nonsense that will be resolved soon enough....

As if something like that is going to stay secret. Players agent is sure to let potential buyers know about it.

Nah

If we've paid the release fee it will still happened quickly.

They can't stop the deal

I would assume it would be lower given Forest play low block/counter attacking football.

Or Gibbs-White gets his solicitors involved and threatens to sue Forest for breach of contract and it happens straight away.

The Forest chairman just trying to appear as though he’s doing something. Rough for them to lose Elanga and Gibbs-White in a couple of days.

 

[harr1984]

It's just all part of the Spurs transfer window merry go round, things were going far too smoothly

Just get the popcorn out - Not in the least bit concerned....

Plus the bottling of CL/EL

Those are mostly stats that benefit midfielders in a team that dominates posession and play a lot of passes. Forest play counter attacking football. If they were compared per action and not per 90, it would probably be different. Also, no defensive stats there, were I think MGW would clearly outperform Madders

Who doesn’t do this?

 

[harr1984]

Gibbs-White and Maddison might play in the same area of the pitch but are two different players. They are both good at what they do, and it would be amazing to have both as options to play together or rotate....
