Haway then - give me the lowdown on our 2 new signings??

[bullybeef]

Gibson - waste of space.

Oviedo - good lad.

That pretty much sums it up.

 

[Seathestars]

Gibson was good for us when we first signed him. We went unbeaten I think it was for something like 20 odd games when he played.

Injuries take their toll so I'm not sure now, but don't plan to go down just yet.

Oviedo was also not bad before his injury. Seems to be a bit scared of getting hurt now from what I can see, I think he's lost a bit of pace too.

Good luck.

 

[Baines' left foot]

I think they could be very good additions to your squad if they stay fit. Big if though.

 

[zirc]

if you can get Gibson fitted for some sort of breathalyser collar he'll be your best midfielder. Kirchoff is more of a destroyer, right? The two of them ought to work well together.

 

[Doolstar70]

Gibson has a fine range of passing, but comes with baggage. Look up the petrol station incident.
Oviedo was a bit of a cult hero but broke his leg. Was a good player on his day.

 

[Ernie]

Gibson won't be fit

Baffling signing for your lot

 

[Neveryourfault]

Gibson is a good player when fit and not pissed!!! Oviedo was good before he got injured!!! I think either Gibson will get your squad bladded every weekend or Oviedo may do a half decent job

 

[bullybeef]

Gibbo just been on telly saying he is fit but not match fit.

Will have a few good games and then will be out on the lash with the mackems which will then result in injury and you don't see him again for a few years if at all apart from maybe on crime watch or in the papers.

That seems to be the way he rolls.

 

[ToffeeTim]

A drunken lout who is gash. And a nice lad who was very decent, but got an horrific double leg break and is now gash too.

 

[DanEFC92]

Gibson is better than Rodwell. So there's that.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Hope that somehow they can stay fit, rediscover a bit of form at the same time and help your lot stay up.

 

[Neveryourfault]

he is sober

 

[JLW]

We have one more you forgot about in case defoe gets injured......

Keep/get Gibson fit and he is decent, a very good range of passing
Oviedo is a very honest player nothing much more than that though..

Anyway good luck I hope you lot stay up this season

 

[brigadier]

Your medical team wil bel working around the clock, haven't they got enough to be getting on with, Darren anderton and Heather Mills could pass a medical at Sunderland.

 

[Naisy'sCharitableLeanings]

Will Gibson and Oviedo do a decent job or just more reason to start planning championship journeys??

For what you've paid, you should get good honest service from Oviedo at the very least. He was boss when he first joined but was cruelly stopped in his tracks with a really bad leg break. Gibson may turn out to be good value too, but he can't string a run of games together. He's known to 'like a drink', which is probably a contributing factor to his overall suspect fitness. Reckon he might see the challenge in helping you stay up though, maybe put a ten-game run together and show what he can actually do (before spending the summer ratted and sitting on your treatment table for the next five years, obviously...)
