Conspiracy number 300...
MGW actually told Samba where to dive as he knew that he'd be with us next year in the prem because he knew that.... Moss was bribed (although he wasn't even announced as ref yet), that VAR were bribed, that we had tapped up O'Brien and Toffolo even though they both "dived" for a penalty in the final, had already got CC lined up for Oly....

Pleased we're still pushing fir him - means he wants the move if nothing else.

Exactly
If it was a no-goer we would have moved on a month ago. To me the only stumbling block is Wolves.
Wolves linked with a striker. Not the same position as MGW but they are playing players for his position up top currently, so it has an impact.

I was thinking the same thing.
Would also explain EM's willingness to get it done - you don't normally see that from him.

Wasn't expecting this!! I can see this happening. Wolves won't dig their heels in IF the player wants to leave..
Front 'team' of MGW, Lingard, Johnson, Awoniyi and Surridge is pretty juicy.

I’m not sure - they were pretty strong on their Neves evaluation despite him wanting to go. We will certainly have to match their asking price I think

It's interesting that he is our number one target and to be fair it's felt that way since June. EM has shown with Lingard just what kind of lengths he is prepared to go to if he really wants a player.
It's also clear that MGW himself is interested as we wouldn't be wasting time with the pursuit if he wasn't.

No idea whether this is common knowledge (I'm not looking back through 60 odd pages to find out either!) but my mate is a Wolves ST holder and he has text me to say they're going hard for Michy Batshuayi from on a perm from Chelsea. Reckons they might need to sell MGW to fund that deal.
Could be 2+2=5. Time will tell but I hope we get him.

If the price is £30m, and that will get him, anf he’s the key piece of the jigsaw Steve Cooper wants, then frankly, just do it.
Yes It’s not my money, but if he’s the difference in Forest staying up, or not, it’s small beer, really.

I wouldn’t mind getting MGW and also nabbing Batshuayi as well

That would upset West Ham fans (not sure how but it would)

Still not sure how we fit Lingard & MGW in the same team in the short term.
Both will surely have come here on the basis that they'll be starting every, or nearly every game.The main man so to speak.
I get that there's plenty of games, plenty of minutes, plenty of subs etc but I don't think either would be here/ want to come unless they were nailed on starters.

What a delightful conundrum for a Coach to have, though!

As I've said on several posts, the gist of how five substitutions change football is the treatment of forward players; what is expected of them is to run their socks off for an hour, and then fresh legs are expected. It is rare for a starter forward to play for 90 minutes. Moreover, a player like Gibbs-White gives you the flexibility of changing 3-4-1-2 with 3-4-2-1, without a proper striker and Johnson in front of Lingard and Gibbs-White, which might be more suitable to steal points against difficult opponents.

I thought MGW was a midfielder? He only played further forward in the play offs out of necessity as Sharp, McGoaldrought and the stomp brothers were all injured.

This would be great if it happened, I’ve been writing it off for a while now to try and avoid disappointment but it’s just not going away. Could the cooper effect and EM’s financial backing pull this off? Really has been a crazy few weeks!
