Morgan Gibbs-White

[wolvesaywe]

£35m for a good season in the Champ is crazy

Forest are the new Man Utd for taking to the cleaners

 

[92WWFC]

Now he knows he won't be starting most games maybe?

Frankly not getting in over Neto or Guedes when we have at fit striker that isn't an option and I generally think we will play 433 more than 4321. Lage saw Pod as the better CAM option anyway.

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Disappointed I have to say, really wanted to see him given a crack here. However if he wasn't signing the contract it makes sense to part ways I guess for that fee.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Shame to see him go but if he won’t sign the contract, effectively swapping him for Nunes is great business.

Best of luck Morgan.

 

[TheConcourse]

Sorry, but that’s ludicrous money after one good Championship season.

For whatever reason it never seemed to fit after being called back on loan. Looked alright during pre-season and during the first couple of games, but nothing to suggest he won’t be replaced by Guedes comfortably.

Good luck to the kid. Enjoy dancing with J Lingz on TikTok.

Exactly. One place we are stacked really is wide forward and as you say, Neto and Guedes now clear first choices. Podence, Hwang and Traore offer decent competition.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Sad. But a good deal.

 

[Starsky]

£44m total is quite ridiculous.

I'd imagine every side in the country would like Forest to be in for one of their players.

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Great business all round, didnt cave at the first round of bids and got good value for a player that we've never really saw in a wolves shirt. Also if not going to sign a contact then get rid.

Only 7 million less than Jota... Madness

 

[Ponty]

Absolutely nobody on here would have turned down half the initial fee this time last year. Big thanks in order to Sheffield United.

 

[Bjorn Star]

Would’ve liked to have kept him but can’t complain with the fee and suppose we need to recoup some money somewhere.

Will be interesting to see how he does.

 

[AndyY]

He'd have signed if he wanted to stay

If i had been him I would have stayed until January to see how much I could benefit from playing alongside Guedes, Nunes and Neves. And I would have backed myself to play instead of Podence and Hwang, or instead of Dendonker.
We should not be selling first team players yet, we still need competition and cover.

 

[92WWFC]

I can't be annoyed at the club at all for this, they were giving him the opportunity but he didn't sign the contract and he would gradually lose value.

I don't even blame Morgan or am bitter and resentful that he didnt want to stay. Some times people need a fresh start and this deal works for both parties.

 

[TheConcourse]

£44m total is quite ridiculous.

I'd imagine every side in the country would like Forest to be in for one if their players.

It’s mental. There seems to be no logic. Their fans better hope that their owner isn’t as unhinged as he looks, because they could be in a real state after this little spree.

 

[Flaneur]

£35m+£10m in addons total is crazy money when we’ve paid £38m+£4m for Nunes & £27.5m + a little in addons for Guedes

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

If that pays for Boubacar Traore and Ramos then it's cracking business
No doubt he has to win Strictly for us to get the full whack but even so...

 

[wolf of sedgley]

The stupidest fee ever.

 

[wolvesaywe]

The Academy's accounts are looking pretty ****ing good for 22/23!

 

[Ponty]

Add another forward and he’d have been second sub for us when Raul is fit again, and that’s if the strange obsession with Hwang ends. Guedes and Neto start with Pod first option.

 

[Guzeppi]

LOL. Excellent!!

 

[clivewolves]

I've said it before that I like him and feel he will be successful in the Premier League, but you can't turn that down.

Compare him to the Nunes transfer that are similar fees and it's just crazy.

And like most players who leave us, particularly academy graduates, I wish him all the luck in the world. Just not at Wolves' expense.

 

[Loefah]

Sad to see him go. But a really good deal and suggests we will be going 4-3-3 now as we won't have much cover in the number 10 role.

 

[Perton Wolf]

No intention of signing a new contract according to the Express and Star.

Right move for all parties then and to be honest, we've got better options.

 

[OJtonner90]

£44.5m... take the money and run

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Feel a bit weird about this one.

Wanted him to make it here, but at that price & not signing a new deal, makes sense to sell.

 

[GBWolf]

We've absolutely fleeced them. I hope Morgan has a great career, would have liked it to be for us but for this amount he has to go.

 

[k-dog]

Hahahahhhahahhahah £35 million.

 

[Autistic Kangaroo]

Nunes for MGW - yes please

 

[WV10Wolf]

They don’t want to bid for Traore too do they??

 

[Norwegian Wolf]

£35 million, that's about £1 million for every minute he looked like a PL footballer in a Wolves shirt. Take the money and run.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Best of luck to Morgan at Forest and no doubt if Forest do well, he will be a big part of that success.

Still - to get AT LEAST £35 Million after 1 good season in the 2nd Tier, is simply stunning stuff and leaves us in a glorious position to get in a Striker and Right Back, to then fill all positions twice!

 

[wwbug]

This window gets better and better.

 

[Woody]

That is excellent business by Wolves. I would have taken the last offer.

 

[Monketron]

I like MGW and would love to have seen a home grown player come through and be part of the first team, but Forest have put in an offer that is just too good to turn down, really can't blame Wolves. There's no guarantees he would be worth more than that in his career. I'll definitely be following his career though and hope he fulfils his promise.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Oh my god... What a ridiculous amount of money.

I think he'll have a very good career but we would be stupid to turn that offer down.

Even with the tap back on, we need to meet the needs of FFP and this is a brilliant way of doing it.

 

[Starsky]

As a newly promoted side, I'd imagine Forest simply cannot afford to go down now and the odds remain against them.

Way beyond a calculated gamble. Their owner is insane.

 

[JadeWolf]

Forest paying more for GW than Liverpool paid for Jota. More fool them! Good business by Wolves and even if Lage wanted to keep him I guess even he can see why we’d accept £44m!

 

[WolfLing]

Becomes the 15th most expensive Englishman of all time.

Will be 11th if the add-ons are paid.

 

[k-dog]

About £27 million overpriced. Amazing business

 

[WKFWolf]

also this will be pure profit for FFP as he is academy, so will really work in our favor i believe!
