Traore is another who if he refuses to sign a new contract will be gone as he will be a free agent next year still expect to see him leave for about£10 million as he only has this year left on contract

I think we'll take the hit with Traore. Is there really any point losing another winger and a player who could give us a completely different option from the bench or start in certain games for that kind of fee? We'd then need to replace him, which would cost more.

We are a million miles off the luxury of having a £35m+ player warming the bench, especially as he’s probably not even first option off said bench.

The thing is that I still think he would have played, and not been a benchwarmer. If anyone had to go, I would rather it had been Podence or Hwang. Difficult to turn down that money, though, I admit, especially if he definitely won’t sign the new contract.
Just my opinion.

As much as I wanted the kid to succeed that really is a mental price. I think we've fleeced Forest...

Good luck to him but have a feeling Guedes would have kept him out of the first team for long periods...

Forest have lost the plot.

Imagine him having a £10m release clause for relegation and signing him back :)

People keep quoting 44/45 million but we have been told that the add ones are largely considered difficult to achieve.
Let’s just be happy with the 35 million!

I like a lot of us are sad to see him go. Crazy money though but I truly believe he’ll be worth more in a few years. Guaranteed to score against us too

Does feel a bit wrong personally moving on 2 British players this season who could have played a large part, one of which who's started both games but the offer is too good to turn down as everyone has said.

Disappointed that we've sold him, but at 45M you can't say no.

Hopefully we get another CM in and ST

Sums up my feelings. Think he's a very good player, but everyone has their value and 35m is his.

The fee is crazy, but so we're some of our fans valuations of him earlier in the summer! I'm sure I read some people say £5-10m, which was also utterly ridiculous. Maddison went for £20m at similar age, and that's around where we should have been getting bids. Anything less than that would leave the board open for more criticism of giving him away. Even if he rips trees up now, the board have done the right thing.

I really like MGW and I’m disapointed he’s leaving as he will have an excellent career - can’t really blame the club for taking that offer though, that’s absolutely crazy money from forest.

Best of luck Morgan!

I've always been a MGW sceptic but the rationale of giving him a run of games in this new look side, particularly given his home grown status was understandable.

That being said, I cannot believe any club would offer that kind of money for him and if he is unwilling to sign a new contract it makes perfect sense to take the money and run (whilst giggling).

Feelings are very much split but there is no way we can turn that down for him. I really wanted him to succeed at Wolves and I am sure he would have but if we can get a CL level performer in like Nunes for the sake of netting it off against MGW then it really is a no brainer.

European football, international caps etc

European football will be very unrealistic for Forest, but I don't think an international cap will be. In fact, I'm almost certain that MGW will be an England player by the end of this season.

Agree totally, whatever he does or doesn’t do for Forest it’s the right deal for us. Same as how selling Jota at the time was right for us, just because he looks a much better player now doesn’t mean it was wrong to sell him when we did.

For 35mil it is hard to turn down thats basically what we just paid for Nunes and he is leagues above Morgan in terms of ability.

I hope he does have a great career though being a local lad but I think it is a good deal for us.

Hope this puts to bed the Neto leaving rumours now.

Maddison is technically a much better player than Gibbs-White though. Even if we 'only' end up with the flat 35m fee it's incredible business.

Genuinely interested on what you’ve seen of him to think he could be an England international by the end of the season? And who he will displace coming up to a World Cup?

That is an amazing fee for MGW.

Not just saying this as we are selling him, but I really was not that impressed with him in the first 2 games. He was just OK and was still losing the ball doing the flicks and turns that he did when he last got a run in the first team.

Happy for him that he is going somewhere to be the star man.

They wanted Aoure instead of him a few days ago. We have been linked with him. They won’t want him now. He could be a clever replacement for mgw.

Think it also shows where we are now.

He'll be one if the main men for a newly promoted side, he'll get splinters for us once all the big guns have been signed.

There's also a real immaturity with him for me. Did he really think that he would come back into this squad and be the main man, guaranteed playing time?
