The only question you\u2019d have is playing under bigger pressure and having to do it more consistently. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s great with his back to call, great skill, can score, good passer, he takes risks with his passes and through balls. The great advantage with someone like Gibbs-White is that he wants to do the work without the ball and you don\u2019t always get number 10s who want to do the work. He can play centre mid too, I\u2019ve seen him play there and he is just phenomenal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s unlucky at the moment that England have got so many players who can play in his position but I think he could play in any team. He\u2019s terrific. The question is though, would he go to Manchester City? Probably. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you\u2019ve got to ask the question, maybe a year on the Champions League journey if they get in it, rather than being a bit-part. We saw Kalvin Phillips fall away doing that so he might stick it out for a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Danny Murphy on Morgan Gibbs-White<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NFFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#NFFC<\/a> \ud83d\udd34 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XG7kQXcaWt\">pic.twitter.com\/XG7kQXcaWt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Red Side of the Trent &#8211; NFFC Fans Podcast \ud83d\udd34\u26bd\ufe0f\ud83c\udf99 (@redsidetrent) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/redsidetrent\/status\/1910033610704576839?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 9, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>View Tweet<\/p>\n<p> Morgan Gibbs-White stats 2024\/25<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to imagine Gibbs-White not playing for a European powerhouse at some point during his career. <\/p>\n<p>However, these players in the class of 2024\/25 have been like a band of brothers and surely there will be no major call for players to leave if Champions League football is on the agenda. <\/p>\n<p>Gibbs-White seems to value playing for Forest an awful lot and the hope will be that Evangelos Marinakis can demand top whack for a player of his calibre. <\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>Morgan Gibbs-White stats 2024\/25<\/td>\n<td>Total<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Appearances<\/td>\n<td>27<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Goal Contributions<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Key Passes<\/td>\n<td>44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dribbles<\/td>\n<td>69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p>Losing Gibbs-White could prove seriously detrimental to Forest. <\/p>\n<p>Although a big chunk of money would go into the coffers, finding a like-for-like replacement might be tricky and certainly won\u2019t come cheap. <\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, City will look elsewhere for their new De Bruyne and Forest can enjoy at least another year of Gibbs-White causing chaos in the final third on the European stage. <\/p>\n<p>  <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The future of some Forest players will come into question during the summer following a memorable campaign in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10788,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,7407,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-10787","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-morgan-gibbs-white","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114319412763529494","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
