Gibson was shocking vs. Southampton and Blackpool, i.e. his last two appearances. That alone should really have been enough to give him some time out.

Bebe is our Ali Dia
I certainly hope not
I certainly hope not
He is at the moment unless there is a major shift in the winds of fortune for him or Liverpool bid £35mil for him.
Wrong thread I'm guessing there RD.
I'll be putting virtually the same in a Bebe thread in a couple of years. 
SAF should be congratulated.....he finally signed a player who is worse than Ralph Milne
I think we milking this all wrong, the guy must have talent and perhaps needs time to settle into the life at Manchester United. Lets give him a chance to do that. Yes he's had a bad game no better than anyone else on the pitch. Even the very top players go through a lean patch and come through it, what they always need is support and encouragement, it doesnt help lamenting his poor performance so lets move on.
Let's be supportive. For every crosses he's made, there must be a story behind it.
Anyhow, I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but SAF stated himself that Bebe' is a "STRIKER" ( or he plans to mould him into one ).
He has a good shot on him and the confidence to take his chances, I'd see that as a positive for now so let's just forget his performances on the wing. Still, I have yet to see anyone as bad for us on the wing as Bebe', Makes Kieran Richardsen and Lee Martin worth 10m.

Bobby McMahon tried his best to not completely rip Bebe. Said he doesn't see, at this point, what Bebe brings in potential and at the stated price it's an expensive gamble (that could pay off he did mention). He said Bebe probably needs to not play for the first team the remainder of the season and acclimate himself to England. Personally, he'd probably been better off remaining in Portugal for the season. It's still a strange signing.
He initially stated Obertan had a terrible match but he did praise him saying he reminds him of Ginola (think that's who he said) but that he tends to play in his own world and goes missing for long periods of the match. He does think he has the talent to make it with United.

There is now a video up on You Tube of his performance against Crawley Town.
Harsh but expected, I guess.
Feel for the kid.

Lets be honest for a second, the lad makes David Bellion look like Pele.
No need to, he'll come good but he needs time to learn and develop. If he gets that then we'll have a damn good player on our hands.
good one
Flip side of that coin is he turns out average and ends up elsewhere and playing out a solid but perhaps unspectacular career. Many before him have gone that route - fewer have gone onto great success.
I keep telling you all he'll be just fine....trust and believe.
That clip does not make him look that bad, he just look like a random bloke playing with professionals. No disrespect Bebe.
Potential is there, hope he brings it out!
Well he couldn't be at a better club, if he has it & i strongly think he has, SAF & co will get it out of him, he has an abundance of strength & pace, a wicked shot, a bit of work on his technique & crossing etc & we'd have ourselves a completely different player, i've great hope for the lad anyways.
Methinks "young red Sam Jones" is a bit of a dick.
Best thing was Bebe taking a black cab, they should have shared it with him
Started for Portugal U21 against ROI 21 today. He is no.11
typical bebe cross there
You'd be a bit wrong.
Have we sold him yet?
Is he playing for the reserves?
Was he really a footballer?

Those who watch the reserves, any noticeable improvement?
He scores at a decent rate, actually. 6 in 11.
I don't understand the whole bedding in strikers by playing them out wide.
I don't see how playing on the wing shows strikers more about striker.
I know it worked for Henry but at least Henry had at least some attributes of a winger.
Bebe cleary has the physique of a striker. He is a Carew/Bent type striker with lots of pace, power, and hard shot.
I am all for training players to be well rounded, but putting a player where he is clearly out of depth will only hurt confidence.
I am looking forward to seeing Bebe in the preseason leading the line.

didnt he come to us as a winger but fergie sees his futute as a forward
He does look a striker to me. Does all his good work in quick bursts it seems like a striker would. Doesn't look to be all that comfortable the longer he is on the ball like a winger.
He needs to work on his dribbling and off the ball movement, no better place to do that than on the wing.
He'll learn or he'll bust. No ways about it.
