I don't think a loan deal outside of the premiership would benefit him. He's a quality player, who can do a job for us when needed. I'm not sure if he'll become a mainstay in our midfield in the future, but he's definitely premier league quality.
I actually see more potential in Gibson than I did in Fletcher at that time. It's really just his positioning and workrate that needs to improve, but the thing is that both of those things need to improve a lot.Gibson, to me, seems at the same stage Fletch was a few seasons back, when most ( and I include myself here ) would have thought he would not cut the mustard long term - I think Gibson may follow suit.......
Hes crap, hes always been crap, so far out of his depth its actually rather embaressing....all he does is shoot, and gets 1 out of 35 on target at that.
If he was 18 or 19, I would say let's wait and see. But he's fecking 22 and the only thing he's even remotely good at is shooting from a distance. Every other aspect of his game is lower-Premier League or even Championship level.
You're being close-minded about what midfielders are meant to do.
Why are you showing Anderson huge amounts of patience and none for Gibson?
Why are you showing Anderson huge amounts of patience and none for Gibson?
That's entirely subjective.
So since you can't really know anything about football, it makes sense to have a bit of patience with every single player that plays for us.
Sir Alex obviously sees something in him you don't.
No its not, hes quite clearly not good enough, like the likes of Manucho wasnt good enough, like Dong wasnt good enough, like Kleberson wasnt good enough, Like Liam Miller wasnt good enough, like Djemba x2 wasnt good enough, like Bellion wasnt good enough etc, Sir Alex saw something in those to.
I do understand your touchyness on this subject, a member of your 'clique' did of course create a rather embaressing thread on this very topic, must keep up appearences after all....

Like Fletcher wasn't good enough, like O'Shea wasn't good enough just last year, like Park wasn't good enough, like Carrick wasn't good enough to start with - although that one was decidedly absurd... - people don't appreciate young players who aren't flashy.
I'm part of the clique?! It's my dream come true.
No, people dont appreciate 'young platers' (is 22 really that young?) who quite clearly show they are our of their depth at first team level, like Gibson has done 99% of the time hes played, and youll find plenty of other people think the same way....ill have a wager with you Gibson wont be at this club in 2 years.
And yes, its not gone unoticed a select few like to defend one another so to speak on here, quite touching really....
He's shown a lot more to his game than you're aware of, and the fact that you're so sure of your own opinion makes that difficult for you to accept, so...I'll not bother on this one.
We're all hypocrites, I'm trying to change you don't seem to care, so I've reason to.
