Darron Gibson

[Azza]

I'm so happy.

...I'm just happy with him going because we can get better in. Lukaku is from the Martinez era.

At least he has played in the Koeman era.

I want Gibson gone as much as the next man, but his issues have never been about his ability

When Moyes was here, Gibson was pretty much excellent for about 18 months

It's only since Moyes left, Martinez came in and brought McCarthy and Barry with him, that Gibson became a 2nd choice player. At that point it went all downhill for him. He got injured a lot (as happened at United when he wasn't playing) and the rumours about his liking for a pint got more and more frequent, culminating in that drink-driving incident.

If someone gets Gibson fit and motivated, they have a really good midfielder - he's 10 times the player Rodwell has ever been, for example. The catch is that nobody other than Moyes in Gibson's career has had him consistently fit and motivated. Could be a good fit, worth a gamble on their part, but realistically it was bonkers of us to give him that new contract last summer.

Martinez getting blamed for Gibson's decline now. We're through the looking glass

WRD1878 (ITK) on TEF has posted a pic of him with a photoshopped Sunderland shirt on about 20 minutes ago.

Surely this guy works at the club. Calling stuff far before it happens. Shirt number for Morgan a week before too..

So if he does go to Sunderland, that would make their former Everton contingent Rodwell, Vic, Pienaar, Gibson and Lescott with Jags possibly also still incoming?

That's going to massively divide the dressing room isn't it? I bet all the Everton lads will form a clique

Lukaku has successfully transitioned over into our bright new future and remains one of our key players. Gibson and Oviedo have been left behind in the ruins of the travelling Everton circus tent that was the last regime, and we need to dispose of them in large bin bags before they start going septic.

You got THAT from what I posted?!

It was a stretch, but I got there. Don't mind me mate, I literally post wall to wall tosh and can't stop.

 

[Zatara]

Please be true....

 

[hktoffee]

You can get a fee for Gibson actually wow...

He does and he's admitted so

 

[GwladysBlue]

Poor Sunderland.

If they were getting Gibson and Oviedo 3 years ago, then it would have been very good business for them.

Gibson now is a liability. A fat drunk who doesn't care.

I really wish Oviedo all the best, though. Such a shame that he got two really bad injuries, but what a great attitude the fella has.

 

[Kantareller]

Happy days.

 

[Connor]

I'll never forget sitting behind him at Bolton in the cup when Heitinga nailed in the winner.

What a fella. Shame you couldn't stay fit or sober, Gibbo.

The best passer of the ball at the club. He's left now along with the most creative player at the club in Deulofeu.

Things that should be lamented in all honesty. Let's hope Koeman can sign some class to replace class and not just the strong, fast athletes he obviously prefers.
