    Ornstein’s dropped another exclusive - we’ve turned attention to Morgan Gibbs-White.

    Good player but not the type we need in my opinion. Could do with more of a destroyer.

    He's a top top player and ticks the HG box too.

    Intrigued to see where he would fit in, as you've said.

    I can see Maddison being a potential sacrifice of the Frank era, to be frank.

    I think the boss prefers more dynamic, combative attackers who are physically a handful for defenders.

    No surprise as I’ve often said it about Maddison but I’d happily take Gibbs-White over him.

    I don't see an issue with having Gibbs-White and Maddison in the squad.
    We clearly needed depth in the attacking midfield position last season, as the cup final demonstrated.
    They've both got a bit of versatility in them too, which helps.

    Edit: John Percy of the Telegraph is claiming that Gibbs-White has a £60m release clause.
    We're happy to trigger it, apparently.

    I think Kulu will move into the centre too. All 3 will want and expect regular football. Depending on injuries then they could all get it.

    Didn’t Forest pay near to £40million for MGW? Weird his release clause is ‘only’ £60million

    £25m rising to £42.5m, apparently.

    Wonder how much they’ve paid so far. Assume Wolves have a sell on percentage too. Forest probably won’t make as much as they should off this sale if it happens

    Mike McGrath of the Telegraph is claiming it's done and he's having a medical tomorrow.

    I'd have thought that a lot of the clauses were plausible, like survival and appearances.
    With Forest qualifying for Europe, I doubt there's much he didn't hit.
    They'll still be fuming though, I think. He's done very well for them.
    Plenty of money with this and the Elanga sales, but everyone will know and adjust. Tricky.

    Forest fans have gone from "**** off Spurs, we've got plenty of money" to "oh ****" rather quickly.
    Hard to take.

    Seriously though, we won the Europa League and we're in the Champions League.
    We spent about £140m last summer and we've not even hit that, yet.
    There may be some investment, but I think it's just speculation at the moment.

    Bissouma, Son and Richarlison will likely be leaving this window so there will likely be plenty of money from sales.

    Do we think MGW could be a game changer for this squad?

    All good points, well made, but I thought Levy had previously suggested we had to sell to buy and no one has been sold yet!
