BORO need to resolve issues with conversion rates, ariel, attacks down the wing. I do believe the academy has come though and we should be investing more ensuring development. Aim is for an initial loan. Permanent in the summer. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

That's all I know being honest. Fingers crossed BD is right and this isn't an ongoing thing - still think he will be an important player for us if we can utilise him correctly. Why Woody seems so convinced he can play that deep role will forever frustrate me! Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh I think it's because Woodgate doesn't really want to use Clayton and hopes that Wing can somehow use his ability to pass forward and set up players like Tav and Roberts. I agree with you though. Hope that with a new defender McNair can play that withdrawn role and Wing can be pushed forward with Tav. Link to post Share on other sites
chickenlunch 315 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 anyone who doesn't think the Gibson deal is a good one is a fool IMO. he cares about the club for one which is invaluable for a club like us tbh + the fact he's directly related to the chairman is gonna make things easy to sort out once we get the deal sorted with Burnley. He was fantastic for us back in the day. Is still only 27, so plenty of miles left on the clock Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 1,006 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Wasn't a huge fan of Gibson but if he gets Fry away from that left side.. and it's another local lad that actually cares about the club. Not sure how we'd be able to afford a perm in the summer.. are we really going to go from spending 200k on Browne and Bola to suddenly spending at least 6m on a single player?

I think there's reason to be concerned actually. Especially for a club that is supposed to be struggling financially. Link to post Share on other sites

Burnley still owe us for Gibson, in effect we'd be paying less than 2m for a permanent. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe if that position even existed in this sport it would be a factor but it doesn’t. He should be playing in an attacking midfield role or not in the team in my opinion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Maccarone 265 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 A fully fit Gibson would be a fantastic player for any Championship team, he's still a young lad so could be the backbone of the team for years to come, pair him with Fry, Spence and Coulson then that looks a tasty option 2 Link to post Share on other sites
xathras 178 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Anyone that doesn't think Gibbo would be a good signing for the Boro needs to get to specsavers. Him & Ayala fit alongside Spence and Coulson would be immense Link to post Share on other sites
