Morgan Anthony Gibbs-White

You could also look at it the other way, if he really wanted to leave he wouldn't have signed the extension and we'd have no choice but to sell him this summer. With his latest contract he's getting paid a similar wage to what he would be getting elsewhere, so I don't think there's a huge financial incentive to leave

I'm fairly certain he'll be with us this season, if we manage to qualify for Europe he might not even go next summer either
You could look at it that way, absolutely.

My point is that saying with certainty he won’t want out is madness

Just seen him buying 'stinky' fruit in Wood Green market. He's gone.
 
I know that I’ll get shot down again, but we have to remember that he tried to leave last summer after we qualified for Europe and nearly got in the Champs league. If it wasn’t for the technicalities of the release clause he would have been a spurs player. This year we nearly got relegated and went through four managers. He also missed out on the WC squad.

I’m not saying he will definitely try and push his way out but suggesting he definitely won’t, or we would be shocked if he did, given the facts before us is daft IMO.

I agree he won’t move to Spurs, though. For multiple reasons.
He didn’t actively try to leave last season. He was told that spurs had met his release clause.

Tottenham have been linked to Morgan Gibbs White. The 110 year old is unavailable for comment since he has been dead 15 years but sources close to Spurs are confident they are close to signing the midfielder.

Spurs spokesman, Facking Landon-er, hopes the League 2 club can team up with Most Haunted to make contact with Gibbs White through a seance.

And how did Spurs find out about his release clause, which was confidential to the club, player and agent?
There’s lots of rumours about that - but your guess is as good as mine

There is

But it has to be one of those entities who let Spurs know, it wasn't the club, and the agent acts in the client's interests and to their instructions...

I think it's relatively simple to draw a couple of possible conclusions from that summary.

I think it's reasonable to say at the very least he was open to it, the fact Spurs knew the details around his release clause hints towards his agent leaking it. But Marinakis quickly resolved it, gave him a bunch more money and reassured him he'll continue to be the main man as long as he stays here

I don't believe he was actively pushing for a move, but he would have gone if not for EM getting a hold of the situation

Saw MGW father in Braga as he was staying at the same hotel. Talking generally about MGW he commented that Morgan just wants to be somewhere where he feels loved, club and fans.

I just wonder if more went on last summer during pre season than we thought and something happened to make him feel frustrated and unappreciated. Marinakis obviously then decided to put that right which is why he ended up staying.

Might have just been Nuno ruining the vibes with his complaints around Edu.

He’s the guy for the big moments because he plays (occasionally) for the big team in the big tournaments.
The only big moments he has is when he goes for a shit.

They managed to survive in League Two?

Spurs “ITK’s” really pushing this link it seems. Even if they want him there’s no way I can see Marinakis letting him go in the same window as Anderson unless the fee gets to north of 100.
They don't need him- they've got the Mekon

If he went it would surely have to be because Forest were made an insane (£120m+) offer, and even then I can only see him wanting to go to a Man City / Man Utd level Club. I just can’t see him signing for the Tottenhams or Leicester Citys of this world.

If he doesn't extend his contract, with 2 years left what's the max someone will offer, 70m?

And with one year left next year, 45m?

We cannot have a Liverpool type situation of players going for a free, so if he really wants out at any stage, he would have earned it and hope the club doesn't stand in his way and we accept a reasonable fee in the circumstances. A number which is both reasonable for us and not punitive for any buying club.
