Morgan Gibbs-White

Which of the trio misses the CL squad cut? There's going to be some unhappy people if we go for a 30 senior player squad rather than a 25

Quite a lot miss out as we only have 22 places
19 outfield

Still waiting to see that City have activated the clause and he is going there instead hahaha !!!

GHod there's so much gonads in there. All this talk of release clauses and instalments...as if any of them, or any other football fan, has any real knowledge of how these deals actually work.

 

[Grays_1890]

So MGW a done deal, turning into a very good window already

I get, and banter is part of the game, but the amount of "why would a player leave Forest/West Ham for Spurs" I've heard in last 3 days is hilarious.

Seems not just Spurs fans fall for the Spurs media narrative ..

Where are you hearing this..?

If it's online and SM ...then you can basically hear any take on any subject

Robbie aside who is a clever man and made a fortune from his chump pals the rest of them don't have a braincell between them

Still only 35.

That's surprised me. I thought he'd be at least 60 by now.

Get him in!!!

Neither Maddison or Kulu will be going anywhere.

Frank is building a squad with a very good adaptable starting eleven and a bench to compete when needed.

Rotation is important this is where Frank is improving the squad.

Yes.
If Dejan is going to be missing the first few weeks/months of the season, then we need options for domestic and european games that don't see a drop in quality and maybe allow for different systems/tactics. That's before even thinking about what to do when Madders next gets injured.

Ødegaard is smooth and delicate. MGW is less flashy, but is much more direct and in your face. Takes no prisoners. Ødegaard delivers Hollywood passes, while MGW just runs through you. But he's got the skills as well.

Thanks. Interesting.
So if they were both on the market (ignoring their current clubs etc) and you needed a creative force in midfield, who of the two would you buy?

I guess its Alli or Eriksen. And MGW gives us an Alli, whilst Maddison is more Eriksen and Kulu a bit of both.

I like that comparison

Eriksen wasn’t a get you off your seat player …. But he was brilliant
Alli was… and he was brilliant too

One was about passing and smart running
The other was about the smaller movements, flicks and tricks (street footballer style)
They compliment each other

Wins lots of free kicks. Very aggressive.

A strong, technical and aggressive player who is capable of driving the ball forward. Just what our midfield lacked last season, IMO.

Bergvall pretty much tries to drive forward whenever he can

Just to clarify, do you mean Odegaard would be the Eriksen, whilst MGW would be the Alli equivalent?

Yep

He is a more experienced Bergval, i think Bergval will become better than MGW but having both in our midfield is only beneficial to us.

True, but he's still a while away from being the finished article, and we shouldn't rely solely on a 19 year old for that particular ability either. I love Bergwall, BTW, and think he'll be a star.
