Darron Gibson

[Connor]

What a fantastic midfielder. Living the dream.

He passes well... sideways !

We need someone to pass the ball forward, at pace, putting defenders under pressure - Gibson doesn't do that !!

As for his shot, it's decent, if/when he plays and actually gets that far forward, I'll give you that... but one goal against City umpteen years ago is hardly a devastating strike rate is it.
I'm sure you'll correct/advise me of how many he has scored for us, I can only remember that one.

He passes forward as well to be honest

Don't get me wrong, I'd never start Gibson, but he's an excellent passer of the ball and I'd never attempt to take that away from him

Got to be fair at the end of the day

I still wouldn't play him above McCarthy, Barry or Besic though

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Just beggars belief!


Wonder what the cost per minute is since he's been here?

 

[AndyC]

I agree but he was just talking about ability (not potential ability). One of the only reasons I rate him is because I think he's good offensively and can play destructive passes that hurt the opposition. It's a game of opinions.

It surely is about opinions mate.
I genuinely see very little offensively good in his game and cannot recall a positive, destructive pass from him in the last couple of years.
I wouldn't have him on a Subbuteo football team, never mind Everton.

but he does. (well, when he's fit)

As if anyone could honestly think Darron Gibson is a better option than James McCarthy in 2016 lol

You're either WUMming or need urgent medical assistance

I only deal in facts bruh and the fact is cattermole owned the ginger traitor on their last encounter

When it comes to Cleverley, it's a toss up at best

Close to accurate

So why on earth would you want to retain him ???

Better for him and Everton if he's sold on to a club where he might genuinely be much higher up the pecking order - when fit - than staying here, rarely playing and possibly hindering the progress of blossoming talent from the U21s.

Today is Thursday, chief.

i took a little artistic licence.

 

[Bungle]

Oh no, we've given a contract extension to a ball player midfielder coming back into form and fitness, aarrrrrrrrgggggghhhh how dare we.

Moshiri out and Koeman out before he's in.

Get a grip

 

[everton280]

counts as a homegrown player doesn't he?

 

[AndyC]

but he does. (well, when he's fit)

He's never fit !!
And he doesn't mate, honest he doesn't.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Could be another team sniffing him out and the club are making sure we get as much as possible

 

[coollino]

Legend!

Home-brewed more like - fuming here.
