Dr The Singh Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 Source Don't worry CL doesn't need any LB, cus he has RB or centre backs play in those positions. CL knows best
Ric Flair Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 What on earth has gone on with Gilbert? Levein has obviously realised he's bought a duffer and although Levein will get slated for this atleast he's not persisted in playing him every game regardless of how crap he's playing like some managers do when they've bought a shocker (Benitez with Crouch, etc) I always said signing Gilbert was pointless, if we don't re-coup atleast half of what we paid for him then Levein will have alot to answer for as he's made the **** up. I would take it out his wages if he doesn't.

I would take it out his wages if he doesn't. I didn't think he gave gilbert much of a chance, I suppose we have a young up and comming LB. He's bought quite a few duffers, lets hope he get's rid of those aswell!!!
Milky Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 one of the worst signings of all time. 200,000 then he just played him in the reserves, only 4 or so appearances in the first team. did levein actually bother to watch gillbert play before he signed him? what a complete duffer of a signing. he better get that money back for him.
Ric Flair Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 I would suggest that Foxes Trust tackles the club about this and finds out exactly what was the point of signing this lad for what was quite a high transfer fee for a club like ours. I would also like to see them challenge the club as to how much we'll be looking to re-coup for him and who will cough up the difference as Levein has been abit trigger happy with this Gilbert goon.
Jimmy Posted 24 November 2005 Author Posted 24 November 2005 i am worried though as we have let 2 player go on loan and brought nobody in, we dont have the biggest of squads in the 1st place

The fee will be undisclosed, or even Free, you watch!!!! And that's if Gilburk and convince Sheff Weds to sign him or he will be rotting in the reserves!!
Gené and Tonic Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 Well, at least he's off the wage list. I bet he'll work wonders at Sheff Wed now
Strokes Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 he seems to have his team in mind and i don't think gilberts part of it. unfortunatly nor is hume.
Milky Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 when levein signed gilbert, i can tell you that all of the academy coaches were taking the piss out of levein for it. they were saying how sheehan is a better player and it was a complete waste of money.
Ric Flair Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 he seems to have his team in mind and i don't think gilberts part of it. unfortunatly nor is hume. Hume is in mind, if he doesn't play on saturday then i'll agree with you but the past 2 games he didn't play because the first one he was knackered and the second one I cannot answer but he was on the bench atleast unlike certain victims like Nissa and Williams.
lush Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 Sheehan will start on saturday. Ive wondered why sheehan hasnt played regular, and one of the reasons i could think off, was that "the manager" had already brought in a LB. Since gilbert hasnt been much good, "the manager" didnt wana look the fool and play a LB we already had, now gilbert is gone...

I hope so, coz i hear he can hit a freekick, we need that as we've been piss poor from set pieces this year

So tell us with all your wisdom! Why do you think they are academy coaches ? I'll tell ya! Because they are not good enough for anything better. Levein wasn't the only manager after Gilbert you know! Who by the way had a great couple of seasons with Plymouth before we signed him. Something went astray with Gilberts game but he'll get it back, but don't start saying that the academy coaches thought he was a duffer, if they knew more about the game then Levein and all the other managers who were after him then they wouldn't be coaching kids who 99% of them go on to do sod all.

FNQ Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 Levein will get slated for this atleast he's not persisted in playing him every game regardless of how crap he's playing like some managers do when they've bought a shocker (Benitez with Crouch, etc) Crouch is awesome! Total incompetance from Craig Levein.
Benji Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 what a joke gilbert did nothing wrong when he was given his chance Levein is just a grade A arse, he has lost the plot come on blackpool, ask for Hume on loan, you'll get him as this idiot we like to call a manager doesn't like to play his better players

The majority of the Plymouth fans were laughing at us when we signed him, that doesn't suggest he had 2 GREAT seasons before he signed for us. He was about as good for them as Jordan Stewart was for us.

An odd decision to sign him, yes, but shit happens. MON signed Graham Fenton.

Bad judgement maybe but an Arse can't see that on this myself.
Benji Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 Now now, he was shit to be fair. An odd decision to sign him, yes, but shit happens. MON signed Graham Fenton. he got skinned no more than sheehan yet sheehan is blessed a saviour I seemed to remember Gilbert taking a lot of flack on here for not being good enough and CL got the same for buying him, OK it may have been a mistake by CL to buy him but at least he's trying to correct that mistake. Bad judgement maybe but an Arse can't see that on this myself. indeed, read the same threads and i stuck up for him then too... if i remember rightly the game he got mostly criticised for was the stoke one at home - when they had those two wingers that were fast as anything, skillful, and were equally pulling the pants down of maybury on the right
Cobbo Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 he got skinned no more than sheehan yet sheehan is blessed a saviour Not by all. Sheehan certainly looked a lot better than Gilbert in the games I've seen though, more composed with the ball too.
