Gibson always had the ability to be at least a good solid squad player for us. He just needed to get more involved and improve his positioning.
When you get down to 6th choice central midfielder (or any other position), you can't expect someone who can come in and be considered a strength in the team. The key is that they also can't be a weakness. The problem is that Gibson often is a weakness as he just drifts around and rarely gets involved, leaving us liable to getting over-run in the middle of the field. He's shown multiple times that he's certainly capable of better than that, so he just has to be more consistent about it. If he can do so, he can be a fantastic squad player for us.
Whether he'll ever be more than just a squad player, who knows.
