If we are trying to ditch Maatsen for someone more physical but still with pace, who should we be looking at?
Neco Williams would be a brilliant signing IMO.

Great shout, covers both full back positions like Lahm or Irwin (perhaps not to their respective levels!). MGW, Williams, Ampadu still my top 3. No idea re mini McGinn, Gallagher I guess was meant to help there in January so looking forward to a plan b.

The thing with Neco Williams and MGW is they will cost too much with PL player tax.

Forrest will want pretty much all our Rogers money (if sold) for MGW

They'll probably ask £40m for Neco Williams. 

I just don't think we're allowed to shop in that market by PSR.

I think Unai would improve both MGW and Williams. I realise that’s a bit parochial signing an Englishman and a Welshman from the Premier League but….shrugs shoulders. The only issue would be the price and domestic PL players uplift.

Yeah, I'm fully on team "sign cheaper from abroad rather than Martin O'Neilling it", but I can't think of anyone in the world more suited to just dropping straight into how we play and being great than Gibbs-White would.

Think Forest are really going to struggle to hold onto their best players this summer. Will be sickening if Spurs or whoever get players like that in this summer.
