Gibbs What?! Forest compulsively spend £42.5m on Wolves midfielder Gibbs-White

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.
