Definitely, don't think they'd sell both in 1 window though. Also quite short for a defender so not sure how well he'd fit with what we currently expect from ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 16 April 2017 Share Posted 16 April 2017 Rather have a centre-back who is both competent and a captain/potential captain as well. A captain will want situations sorted out in one effective way and also tell others who are not so sure what to do on certain set-piece situations where to go and what to do. Gibson alongside either Huth or Morgan would make him able to learn this aspect of the game and make him both a more reliable and also experienced and key player in that area.

STUHILL Posted 21 April 2017 Share Posted 21 April 2017 Got rave reviews in the first 6 months of the season and rightly got his first call up to the england team. Left footed CB, who can pass it out from the back and is quicker and obviously younger than what we have. 30 million is overpriced but then who isn't overpriced these days?! I would think that we could get him for closer to £20-25 million We made a mistake last summer by not stumping up the cash for Keane, and he will now go onto bigger things, so I don't think we should make the same mistake. Sign him up, and let him pair up with Huth and then we can look to sign another young CB next summer to add to Gibson and be our future CB pairing hopefully.

AjcW Posted 22 April 2017 Share Posted 22 April 2017 I don't want us to fall into the "young English and talented" trap just because we think we have to. I'd much rather we signed two talented promising European defenders to be honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jet-plane Posted 23 April 2017 Share Posted 23 April 2017 I'm not a big believer in spending big money on defenders. If you consider Otamendi, Mangala, Bailly, Mustafi and Stones (Mills) and have they really been any better than Huth and Morgan, or better than McAuley, Dawson, Evans at WBA?? The ability to concentrate and being willing and able to work as part of an effective unit feels more important than individual abilities. We've got some money now but every penny should be wisely spent. Give me a tough, disciplined, injury-free, 30 year old decent family man for £2-3m all day long please, and maybe save the big spending for the attacking game changers??

Wymsey Posted 23 April 2017 Share Posted 23 April 2017 He'll obviously be over-inflated in terms of transfer fee requested and being English and young, but if he were to sign and performs well in any opportunity he has initially, the team could have a long-term gem here.

I think Keane is better than Gibson. He's got a lot stronger since he was last with us (always a harsh criticism for 19 yr old). Reads the game well, good on the ball and quick too. I think we have missed out on him unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
