....perhaps Oviedo will give Gibson a lift.

More likely that Gibson will drive Oviedo, anything could happen.

He was never effing available to play Dave. He had legs made of margarine, it was a wonder he was able to push the accelerator hard enough to mow down those cyclists

Point being made though is that we dont want a team full of replacements who are lacking in artistry. I can see us sliding down that road at the moment. I fear us ending up like a more expensively assembled Palace, full of strong and fast players with zero creativity.

I've seen Gibson slide down a couple of roads too

I don't know the answer to this, so it isn't a leading question, but in his 50 odd games for us, how many assists did he have?

I dont know either.

But when he did play he dictated tempo. That is very important.

I really like Gibson and wonder what might've been for Oviedo but for that awful leg break, but surely no one can bemoan them leaving us. Two players who now have nothing to offer this Everton squad, hope they do a job for the Mackems.

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.

Not sure how we will cope without Gibson tbh. Relegation looms.

When your CM has been Rodwell, Pienaar, Ndong and Denayer for most the season this will feel like a marquee signing

Look at the games played in the time he's spent at Everton. Not going to be missed.

As Davek say's gibbo is a lovely passer of the ball ,if you can get some legs around him who knows, Bryan is a lovely man and a true professional many will shed a tear here when he goes, the lad has had such bad luck and deserves a break, nobody from this club would begrudge bryan an excellent second half to his career.
