Andrews was talking utter sh1te

They can't demand 100m now, someone is going to get him for 60m unless he signs a new deal which he won't now

He always talks nonsense. If Talk Sport have invited him on to talk transfers then they want him to come out with things that hasn't been said before to add value, ie this sort of gonads. The quality of Talk Sport as a source of inside info is poor.

Nothing to see here....

I am confused haven't we triggered the release clause if so why would we offer more. Have Forrest asked for more or cash plus player or similar.

Because we don’t want to pay 60m upfront. Technically that is the release clause. So to pay in instalments they want us to overpay.

But we would have known that before, its universal to trigger a clause its a one off payment.........and we would rather pay 60m in one than 100m over 4 IMO.

If anyones getting more off the back end of this is MGW to forgo his loyalty payments which we might absorb to get it done

Who knows the truth. The agent was suggesting this scenario where they want more cash effectively for credit and payment terms. And fair play to forest they can assert themselves (or try to) he is their player. Paying more than 60m doesn’t seem good value though. Got to be other options if that is the case.

That’s what they want IMO
him to drop his cut
If it’s 10% (standard I believe) that’s £6m to the club

Well the truth is that all release clauses mean you pay up front, so if we set out to trigger that clause we would have done so knowing that.

I fully expect this all to be over with by Wednesday

He was sol Campbell man and an ex table tennis player
When you look at who he has represented you can see why he has no players now
He was basically like that Eric bloke who used to do deals (weird looking scrote who smoked cigars)
He does talkSPORT because legit agents don’t

Eric Hall, he did some monster deals!!

This is all complete BS anyway, if 60m is in the contract then that’s the fee

Ok didn't no that was a thing so he won't be going anywhere unless city or Chelsea want him.

Well it’s nuanced i guess. Forest won’t want a player who’s not committed. And if no one else wants him (and it’s a tonne of cash to stump who has that in the bank?) then they may work it out with us and teach an agreement.

We’re acting like a big club and using our weight and CL status. Which is what we should do. We’ve been on the other end of these things in the past.

But the most interesting question for those who’ve watched Gibbs-White is what does he bring the team? What is his skill set and makes him worth circa £60m?

He is a box to box creative player
He runs all game and does smart things with the ball
He also knows how to link play

I recon we’ll pay say 62m if we get him. I think we could make great use of him in CM. He’s quick combative from the little I’ve seen. Probably worth the money.
