Snowblind 1,711 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 If Gibson openly says he wants to move, then I think £20m is what we'll get. If he carries on his rhetoric about being happy to stay, then we have the bargaining chip to hold out for the extra cash. Think the lad has been very canny in the way he's handled himself for the club to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites

Think the lad has been very canny in the way he's handled himself for the club to be honest. Really doubt he will do that. But I'm sure he will have sat down with his agent and Steve to lay out a plan for the summer and how both parties can get the best possible deal. Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 In the current climate, we should be looking for 30m+ for Gibson, we are surely under no financial pressure to sell. We also won't have a Ramirez situation where he downs tools if he doesn't get a move. He could be a potential Premier league player for the next 10 years, he's English with a good character. Teams are going to have to pay over the odds for him. Link to post Share on other sites
AstoriaBoro 152 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 It pains me to say and 'praise' the Geordie's, but their transfer business last summer should be our model. Value our players, stay firm and don't budge of price (ala the Sisoko and Wijnaldum deals). We're obviously over a barrel with Ramirez but I'd hope we stayed firm on price over Gibson, De Roon, Clayton, Friend, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 West Ham want to sell January signing Robert Snodgrass with Brighton, Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland all keen. [Mirror] Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 West Ham want to sell January signing Robert Snodgrass with Brighton, Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland all keen. [Mirror] If his rumoured wages (£90k a week) are correct then they will have trouble getting rid of him. I wouldn't want him for even half those wages. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 We should be over Snodgrass by now. Clearly past his best, even in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Don't want snodgrass now and doesn't seem the type of wide player monk plays with. He's a set piece merchant and does little from open play. Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I think we really should expect Gibson to depart to pastures new, the little taste of being involved with the England set up will I believe want him to be more involved as time goes by. Playing at Boro however good he is next season will not improve him and he will only be thrown the cursory glance from time to time. If he is to grow in potential sadly Boro is not the place for him to do that, yet another aspect of the result of a failed season Link to post Share on other sites
