Gibbs-White’s Transfer Fiasco…
Manchester City, the kings of football megabucks, have slammed the brakes on splashing the dough for Morgan Gibbs-White! Although the midfield magician was dangling like a golden carrot at a reduced price of £60 million, City wisely decided their pockets didn’t need yet another universe-busting dent. They’ve already decked their midfield out with the French maestro Rayan Cherki and Dutch dynamo Tijjani Reijnders — two players who cost a mind-blowing combined fee that could buy a small country.
Nottingham Forest meanwhile, are squirming in outrage as Tottenham tried to poach their dazzling midfielder by stealthily activating a secret money button. The clandestine bid has Forest’s owner doing his best fire-breathing dragon impression and threatening to snitch on Spurs to the Premier League referee! The Forest are hopeful City might be tempted back to the negotiating table, but City are holding firm, keeping their midfield overcrowded party under control and focused on a boot sale instead.
Pep Guardiola, the mystical football wizard, has decided his team looks like a Thanksgiving feast that’s had just enough pie. Director of football Hugo Viana is on a diet drive — he’s trimming the squad fat before they march out like soldiers of fortune into the Premier League jungle! City has spoken: no more midfield munchies, thank you very much!
