Quizzed on whether that respect and admiration will be enough to keep Gibbs-White on the banks of the Trent, Forest icon Walker - speaking exclusively toGOAL in association withWorld Cup betting - said: “It depends on the individual people's egos, doesn't it really? And once you go to the big clubs, you have to have enough confidence to go into squads and really walk in there and think, ‘I'm the man’. And if you have that, then it works.
“He's got ability, he's got very good ability and at Forest they love him. And some of his games where he's not as consistent get overlooked. When you go to the big clubs, they don't overlook them, you're under constant scrutiny.
“So, it depends on how far he thinks he can go. Because these number 10s in this world, they're superstars and they like to be the centre of attention. He does.
“So, sometimes people look at Forest, he's got all the centre of attention he needs. But sometimes people want that big move and that gives them centre of attention as well. But it becomes a bit of a noose around your neck as well at times.”
