If Gibson were as average as you describe dave , I doubt sir alex would have had offered him a long term contract like he has done- I prefer to take sir alex opinion of him.
Speculation in the press that sir alex wants him in the summer , if that was the case then I'd be looking for Gibson plus cash in a part ex deal, also galatasaray rumoured to be after mr petrov , in which case I'd definately sell.
He's a top quality player. We're a better side when he's in it. People have unrealistic expectations. They seem to think every pass should be a killer ball and every cross drop straight on the strikers head. That just shows a lack of understanding of the game. However, if you look back you'll see that he's involved in a large percentage of our goals. His work rate is fantastic and his passion and commitment are obvious. Yes, he can appear petulant but that's because he's desperate to win. Yes, he sometimes looks for fouls but that's the modern game and expecting different is like expecting teenagers to stop using SMS.The fact that we're even talking about Manu being interested tells you how good he is, Gibson isn't fit to iron his snood.

Swap for Jimmy in the summer please.
Chris , do you feel ash should be playing off the striker in the hole or is your opinion that he should be playing on the wing?I heard GED saying ' ash prefers playing in the hole and likes it there' this week , that shouldn't come into it, I'm sure gabby likes playing central too but the team should be the main thing .
