Wasn't he the one who had ideas about football that some considered...unnatural?

Apparently its not a story the Evening Gazette would tell us.

Didn't his fax machine go to the darkside?

If Gibson sold up tomorrow, i'd give the Club 3 years before we'd be another Wigan/Bolton

In the current climate I could definitely see that happening.

He may have made a lot of mistakes, but he has stuck with the club  through thick and thin...when other owners might have asset-stripped the club and done a runner, or just let us go into administration (again).

Mido surely 

They say that even to this day, parmo shops all across Teesside still mourn his leaving.

I think it ended up as an Imperial torture droid.

It's all gone very quiet...

I watched the Brighton game yesterday and I think Dan Burn ticks all the boxes for what we are missing at the back.

- Massive presence (something we are really lacking) in both boxes

- Decent passing 

- From the NE originally

- Brighton have got a ton of defenders

- Left footed

A fairly big drawback would be his pace but then if you have some like Dijksteel in the back three with him, hopefully he could provide him with some cover. 

I personally think we could do a lot worse than him

He gets his game for Brighton doesn’t he? 
 

Highly doubtful they’d sell, that we could afford him and that he’d want to come. 

[Humpty 184]

He's getting game time at Brighton. I don't imagine, he's a realistic target in that sense.

[estonpidge 312]

@boksicdink sounds like Flint if you skip the passing part

He was a starter last season and still vying for a starting place this year, he would be great but it's not gonna happen

[boksicdink 78]

I think he is on the fringes, but the point probably still stands.

I guess the main draw for him would be being first choice and to come back to the area...probably is unrealistic though. 

Definitely like Flint but with passing. I think that kind of player is what we need in the middle of the back three. Hall cant do it by himself.

Is Bamba left footed? 

[Robin Johnson 90]

Is Bamba left footed? No just one legged! See we are linked with  a Wimbledon left back ( sorry if posted before)

He’s not left footed is he? Granted for us you couldn’t really tell, he was equally rubbish with either 

[Maccarone 162]

It's incredibly quiet on transfer news since Chuba.

We must still be working on a few more?

3 or 4 would you reckon?

CB,LB,dare I suggest a creative type player and the 4th striker.

About right?
