Will his diagonal passes be as important under Bobby's style? W defenitily don't hit the wingers as much.
Don't get me wrong I've seen Barry play a few cross field passes but him and McCarthy, especially McCarthy, don't spot runs and execute the pass as quick as what Gibson can IMO.
And I know Martinez likes the team to keep the ball but I don't think he'll mind a player like Gibson trying to switch the play and get us on the counter with a quick diagonal into the channels.
He will improve the quickness of our attacks as his first thought when receiving the ball from the back is to go forward, to play forwards and that's what I really like about him and what I think will make a difference to us as no offence to either Barry or McCarthy, there good and different players in there own right but they don't have the same passing range and speed of thought when it comes to seeing a pass and executing it as quick as what Gibbo can for me.
