Darron Gibson - is he good enough for Everton?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Know-nothing would be nearer the truth.
There were a few comments saying Gibson was a down payment for Rodwell or Barkley. I was surprised to read not many posters regard Rodwell highly.
I dont know much about the wages of players. Most of the time they seem to be speculative numbers, but indeed if Gibson's wage demands exceeded what the club was willing to pay him for his expected services in the upcoming years, then thats another reason to let him go. Still, his place in the squad leaves a void that will have to be filled by another player who will also have to be paid wages..
Friendlytramp's doing that thing again where he pretends he knows what's going on behind the scenes, when in reality he's sitting in his bedsit in his dirty y-fronts ogling pictures of Xena the Warrior Princess.
I don't think many Everton fans would be too bothered to be shot of Rodwell if they got £20m for him, but that may be down to their desperate need for a striker.
He's out of contract in the summer - we were hardly in a good position to get a higher fee, especially considering how little Gibson has shown. I think it's a pretty decent fee for both United and Everton.
I've yet to see what the hype's about, looks like another Henderson to me.
Good luck to Darron, I'd have liked to have kept here until the Summer but his mind is most likely on the Euro's and I don't think he's going to get in the squad by staying here.
Those claiming we'll get a replacement in January - we did - Scholesy.
Rodwell's always looked a class above Henderson to me. Just a shame his development's been so badly affected by injuries. He's the real deal.
Ah yes, this of course means Rodwell to United. Why oh why should we doubt you eh?
He's not really though is he? I mean he wasn't even getting games a few weeks back when we only had Carrick available. That really says it all.
He's to lazy for me, and when he does decide to move he's just not mobile enough.
I'm glad in a way, bored of attacks breaking down because he's decided to hit row z anytime he's within 50 yards of the goals.
£1.5 mil rising to £2 mil is the best deal we could of got for someone who's only got 6 months left on his contract.
How did this guy get the reputation of being a genuine ITK
He has never had that reputation.
Rumoured to be a 4 year contract @ 30/40k a week.
A lot of money for a player I fully expect to end up as no better than a squad player for them.
Im 100% sure there was another thread where someone said that he was an ITK and that he got most stuff right. "He works on Carrington" or something like that. Another mouthbreather most likely.
Not that I know of. He is a punchline and always has been. Unless it was someone taking the piss which is very likely.
How is moses taking this news? he must be devastated.
Prolly.
Didn't they have to get rid of Beckford because he was on £40k a week?
Great great signing for everton.
It's good gibbos last game was in a 5-0 win. I'll remember him well. Good luck.

I also think it's too much. I reckon the rumours are based on his failed transfer to Sunderland. In Everton's financial plight I can't see Gibson getting anywhere near 40K.
No, me neither.
That's a lot of money for a squad player salary. I'd be surprised if those numbers are accurate.
Oliver Kay....
Just leaves Fletcher's spot... Yeah, I know, it won't happen.
Not surprised we're willing to sell. Hasn't got a future and last chance to get some money for him. We might need him for a few matches by the time the season ends, but Fergie won't keep him for that possibility
That's the nightmare scenario; we're broke and no Gibbo.
Thanks all for the input on FT. His reply to me seemed like one of a bullshitter. Think his tagline tells all.
Who the hell told you that?!
Did Alec just text you the details?
You had to google that for spelling, didn't you?
How very dare you.
Nothing to be ashamed of, I can never remember if Rodwell is one l or two.
Nick, think it was jaywalker but on second thought it was probably a piss take.
yea if it was Jay he was absolutely 100% taking the pissGood move for Darron.
Apparently the final fee is only £500k 
If that's true it makes the claims of a £1m offer for Morrison even more hilarious.
I'm happy that Gibson's move is going through this time. He was stuck in a strange situation with us when he really deserved to be getting on with his career.
I also don't believe that Scholes back in and Gibson out truly improves our midfield situation right now. But with other youngsters starting to make appearances on the bench I hope they are given the opportunities we gave to him. It's their turn to breakthrough now. In the meanwhile I think we'll survive until the summer so long as the absentees return and the rest stay fit.
