Former Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards has suggested the club miss Morgan Gibbs-White and the qualities he brings.
Wolves played out a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday, and came up against the midfielder for the third time since his exit from Molineux.
Gibbs-White has enjoyed a pretty good season at the City Ground.
Forest, like Wolves, are under the threat of relegation. But he personally has had a good campaign.
He has established himself as one of the most influential players for the Reds.
On Saturday he put in a good performance against Wolves, although thankfully he was unable to score.
Gibbs-White’s behaviour since he left the club has made him a fairly unpopular figure with some Wolves fans. The way he cupped his ears after scoring his penalty in the Carabao Cup shootout really wound the supporters up. And it was those antics that led to a fracas afterwards.
It will therefore be difficult for some Wolves fans to agree with what Edwards has said about Gibbs-White in his latest Express & Star column.
He said: “Gibbs-White divides Wolves fans given the way he left and what happened in the cup game earlier this year, but he is a player Wolves could do with.
“He operates in pockets, gets on the half-turn and drives Forest forward and that is what Wolves are lacking, and sure some fans will be disappointed seeing him do it for Forest.”
Wolves sold Gibbs-White to Forest for an initial £25 million.
The deal has the potential to reach all the way up to £44 million, although it is thought that’s unlikely to happen.
It is difficult to disagree with Dave Edwards about Morgan Gibbs-White
Begrudgingly, Edwards is probably just about right about Gibbs-White.
The Englishman is great at finding space between the lines, receiving the ball and driving into the final third.
He then looks to slip in a teammate or have a go at goal himself.
He has developed into an effective, out-and-out number 10, who can also operate as an inside winger.
The deal to sell Gibbs-White was ultimately too good to down. But Wolves, at this moment in time, probably do miss what he brings.
