He's still only 27. As others have said, when fit he is a quality footballer. I really hope we get to see him fit for at least one season whilst he's with us as his range of passing would be a real godsend in this team

The off-field stuff is a big issue and can't be excused but if the club deems that he stays then so be it. Just get him fit on on the field

I think the two are linked. When he's suffering long term set back after long term set back he seems to go to a dark place. When he first came under Moyes and was playing every game he didn't have any problems (that we knew of)

Would love him, McCarthy and Barkley in a three for games we expect to dominate.

He's actually class.

Possibly right...there were rumours about his drinking before he joined though...yeah, I know, jarg rumours and I'm guessing that if he did have a major drink issue then Martinez would definitely get rid as his views on booze are well known

Like to see him start the derby

A fully fit Gibson this season would be a Huge boost in our push at top 4.

I thought when he came on he tidied the midfield up ... nice short quick passing

quailty footballer

If that was 6 games away I would say definitely mate but as things stand I would be taking things slowly with him and bringing him on 25 minutes here and there when needed. Him and Besic are 2 great options to have and then there's also Osman. That's 3 decent cm options to rotate with Barry and McCarthy

27?

I am surprised at that. He seems to have been around forever.

Hangleton · September 29, 2015

He has that great ability of passing forward.

What car crash?

I can totally understand why so many people have reservations about him but for me he'd be 1 of the 1st name's on the team sheet if fit. Gives us something completely different to Barry Besic and McCarthy and was very instrumental in yesterday's comeback

Been saying get rid for a while but tbf when he played the other day he gave me reason to believe in him again.

I don't like people reading 'celebrity juice' magazines. I don't like when sky sports do indept reporting on the personal life of people that isn't sport and I don't like people on here taking issue with Gibbons problems in his life when it comes to being a Toffee. What he does on the pitch should be our concern. Sure talk about it if need to but it should not interfere with your opinion on him as an Everton player.
