Following the news that Morgan Gibbs-White had signed a “record deal” with Nottingham Forest, we asked for your views on the 25-year-old committing to three more years at the City Ground.
Here are some of your comments:
Samuel: How quickly the tide can change in football. Really didn’t expect this, and it’s brilliant for the club. Could have really done with it not being played out in public but he’s a young guy and you cannot blame him for what has happened. However, Mr. Marinakis has done wonders to keep him – especially when all those Tottenham fans thought they’d got him on the cheap! Ambition from Forest. Definitely finishing above them (again)!
Andy: Could prove to be Forest’s biggest ‘signing’ of the summer. Will calm a few nerves and show any potential targets we mean business and are a club continuing on an upward trajectory.
Ben: Expect the unexpected: this should be Forest’s new mantra. Absolutely over the moon he’s staying. Everything good that Forest do goes through him. Find an adequate replacement for Anthony Elanga and Forest are back on track for another exciting season!
John: Great news but we all know the worth of football contracts! Ask Wolves when Matheus Cunha signed a new contract in January and now is a Manchester United player!
Kerry: Always plays with his heart on his sleeve. No doubt more money for new contract – player and agent got want they wanted.
Richard: The whole thing with Morgan Gibbs-White was a farce but, as a devoted Forest fan, I’m glad he’s staying.
Sean: It’s great to get the uncertainty out of the way. We would be in trouble if we lost both Elanga and Gibbs-White in the same window, so this is a great result. We do still need to bring some players in to give ourselves a chance of competing throughout the season, but it’s great news MGW is staying.
Gary: Relief mostly. A big cog in the Forest machinery. Folks will say he has held the club to ransom. I don’t care – Morgan is staying.
