Ok, we won’t get caught up in a trap of being irrational worshipers of the old times, but it needs to be said that current prices on the football market are ludicrously high and surreal.And even then, it’s understandable, for example, Manchester United or Arsenal, to be big spenders due to their importance and greatness. However, the news that newly-promoted Premier League side Nottingham Forest have agreed on a deal worth £42.5m, including add-ons for Wolves midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is shocking. To put it politely. Let’s be fair, you’ve never heard of the 22-year-old. Neither did we.De Gea’s eternal apprentice becomes Forest heroForest will pay an initial £25m for Gibbs-White, with a further £17.5m available in add-ons related to his performances and appearances, as well as the club retaining their top-flight status.Yes it’s an unfathomable amount of money to pay. But this is some player.If it makes Cooper happy, then I’m happy. There’s always the possibility that Gibbs-White becomes worth more than that in the future too.Trust the process..#NFFC pic.twitter.com/YnyN6Zn7Gy— Callum Castel (@callumcasteln) August 18, 2022 So, shall we take a look at Forest signings and consumption in this transfer window…Morgan Gibbs-White – Wolves, £42.5mEmmanuel Dennis – Watford, £20mTaiwo Awoniyi – Union Berlin, £17.5mNeco Williams – Liverpool, £17mOrel Mangala – Stuttgart, £12.6mMoussa Niakhate – Mainz, £12.8mGiulian Biancone – Troyes, £5mRemo Freuler – Atalanta, £7.6mOmar Richards – Bayern Munich, £8.5mLewis O’Brien – Huddersfield, £5.31mHarry Toffolo – Huddersfield, £5.31mBrandon Aguilera – LD Alajuelense, £855,000Jesse Lingard – Manchester United, freeCheikhou Kouyate – Crystal Palace, freeWayne Hennessey – Burnley, freeDean Henderson – Manchester United, loanThere’s nothing more to be said here… (©SkySports)So, all in all, the Tricky Trees have reached a total of more than £150m spent on new signings.
