Borodane 6,246 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Just now, Brunners said: Depends how homesick he really is I suppose - would heading down essentially towards London be good for him if that's the case? Just spitballing here, no idea whether he is genuinely homesick or not. It would be a pretty stupid career move to stay at Burnley instead of going to Watford just because they won't accept our offer - which in all likelyhood is less worth financially for Burnley.

I don't think so. He doesn't sit in the stands. He spends all of his time over here 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
Johnmfc81 902 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If Watford were going to play him I'm sure no matter how home sick he is, he would still chose them over us, keep his nice big salary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I'm just not convinced that's the case. Everything we've heard from people suggests he doesn't want to entertain any other options. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect wage contribution could be a factor if Gibson is willing to pay the wages we don't contribute to just to move to us. Unless Watford stump up the full whack, they could struggle if we're, one way or another, paying all of it. Link to post Share on other sites
Hendrie_7 1,068 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 This is the stuff online - from the Sun transfer blog "HORNETS STING Exclusive by Alan Nixon: Watford Boss Nigel Pearson is making a shock move for Burnley’s out of favour centre half Ben Gibson. Pearson wants the former Middlesbrough defender who has had a miserable time at Turf Moor since signing for £13 million. The Hornets chief is keen to take Gibson on loan and give him a better chance of first team action at Vicarage Road. Burnley want Gibson’s wages paid in full and Watford are willing to fork out around £40,000-a-week for the rest of the season. Gibson had other loan moves abroad and interest from Boro, but none of them managed to find the funds for a deal. " Link to post Share on other sites
