wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm still not sure why people are concerned Gibson will leave. Maybe I'm wrong but there's absolutely no time to replace him now. Someone would have to make an absolutely ridiculous offer for him. I can't see WBA doing that regardless of how much they get for Evans. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Yea i always had a feeling he'd stay and I can't see him leaving now. Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 804 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I really hope Monk is planning on playing a 3-4-3 and the signings are for that. So 1st 11: Randolph Gibson Ayala Shotton Fabio Howson Baker Christie Braithwaite Asombalonga Traore That makes sense if keeping Traore, signing a centre half and another winger.

Hendrie_7 1,068 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm not writing off a Gibson special of getting us Jota at the last minute. I think Jota's agent has got a long night of ringing around prem clubs trying to drum up some interest ahead of him Link to post Share on other sites

So 1st 11: Randolph Gibson Ayala Shotton Fabio Howson Baker Christie Braithwaite Asombalonga Traore That makes sense if keeping Traore, signing a centre half and another winger. More likely 3-5-2 for me: Randolph Shotton Fry / Ayala Gibson Christie Clayton Baker Howson Fabio Assombalonga Braithwaite / Bamford Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm not writing off a Gibson special of getting us Jota at the last minute. We said the same last Deadine Day and the Deadline Day before that but nothing ever materialised. Prepare to be disappointed if that's what you're hoping for. That's partly because people on here were telling us big Afro-Caribbean blokes were lined up outside the medical centre. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't you think west brom fans are saying the same about Evans...or Southampton fans saying the same about van dyke? Link to post Share on other sites

More likely 3-5-2 for me: Randolph Shotton Fry / Ayala Gibson Christie Clayton Baker Howson Fabio Assombalonga Braithwaite / Bamford I'm just starting to think we need to lose our Clayton addiction . I wonder if he was a pure bred Karanka player. Not progressive enough for how we need to play now. Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if he was a pure bred Karanka player. Not progressive enough for how we need to play now. Clayton has been our best player this season, he's the sort of player who a lot of fans don't appreciate until he's not there. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't you think west brom fans are saying the same about Evans...or Southampton fans saying the same about van dyke? Except neither of those are nearly as emotionally connected to the club as Gibbo is to us. Not always relevant but if it wasn't, Gibbo would have gone already, I'm pretty sure of that.

Yeah if you want to drop arguably our best player of the season so far, go right ahead and drop Clayton. The guy is one of the best CMs at this level. Link to post Share on other sites
uptheboro 4 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well on the positive side, it looks like Shotton and Johnson haven't cost too much money. I don't particularly rate either of them and to be honest i cannot for the life of me understand why we have bought them . As for Jota i do hope we stay away from that one. Brentford are having a laugh wanting £8m for him. Link to post Share on other sites
