Darron Gibson

[Rook]

Boring as hell but he makes the squad better by staying the hell away from Fellani. Every good squad needs a player like him, a guy who knows what to do when he doesn't have the ball.

I find it hard to warm to players whose role in the team is to mop up.

I'd say this is common amongst a particular group of Evertonians.

So much so, that they sometimes delude themselves into thinking that certain flair players are superior at 'mopping up' than other players, when the reality is nothing like that.

See Fellaini v Neville.

Yawn. Give it a rest.

 

[Brennan]

We honestly would do better signing Titus Bramble than Gibson

Oh for the love of god, no.

be better with mel gibson for feck sake

Oh dear God no.

No. Just no.

No.

Stop it.

Bad.

No.

I would rather sh*t in my hand and clap.

Move along please

I'd rather have Kieth Andrews.

He's proper shoite.

He's proper, proper gash, though.

If we waste what little money we have on this utter gash piece of **** I will fume myself into a grave

RFUS even spelled his name wrong

[Poor language removed] off Darren.

Anyone know how much a ticket in the chapionship is?

Plenty more where that came from.

 

[Goat]

I think I held my tongue for once.

But I thought at the time it was a bad signing.

Only due to the "party all the time" rumour I had heard.

 

[Bigmaclad]

Was fearful I was going to get vaulted then.

You horror!

I do remember being quite pissed off we were targeting him to be honest. We were gash and I wanted signings who'd make us a better attacking team. Bear in mind this was before Jelavic or Pienaar came.

But sorry Darron lid. You're okay by me now.

 

[Summerskin]

Laughed my tits off at "We'd be better with Mel Gibson FFS".

 

[Muggins]

What did I write??

Vault me lads. Vault me bad.

 

[Moomin]

Laughed my tits off at "We'd be better with Mel Gibson FFS".

We do need someone to compete with Suarez on the racism front. Mel has form on that front.

I really like Gibson i think he's a great player for us, he just gets the job done well, good at passing, good in the tackle and he has a great shot on him, i think he makes us a lot better when he's playing, and he helps bring others into the game.

 

[Animal Farm]

No.

Just, no.

Isn't that EXACTLY what you said about us signing Darron Gibson?

 

[RFUS]

Isn't that EXACTLY what you said about us signing Darron Gibson?

Mate I wanted to see Rodwell in our team. Another CM wasn't what anyone wanted, so don't make it look like I'm the only one who jumped the gun.

It's not at all the same because I hadn't seen Gibson for Everton. I've seen Fellaini and Neville for Everton though. A lot.

Whoever repped me through this thread, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

It's clear that you weren't the only one who jumped the gun, you certainly aren't alone in your thinking. The point I am making isn't solely directed at you. But I'd like to compare the reactions of some of our supporters when signing Gibson and Bilyaletdinov.

Gibson, a product of United's academy, done reasonably well when playing for United and it's "Please God, no".

Bilyaletdinov, he has a foreign sounding name and delivered two decent crosses against Athens, "He's ****ing boss lad, the next Kevin Sheedy"

Yet the 'donkey' which is Darron Gibson has become the glue which holds the team together, and Billy has been facked right off.

I have also seen Fellaini and Neville play an awful lot, and we both know were we stand on that one, so there's no point re-hashing an old argument.

But the way some people go on about Neville you would think he was an utter donkey, not an esteemed graduate of United's greatest ever youth set up. Neville is never going to score a Bilyaletdinov wonder goal, but I've seen him do a great job of protecting his defence, on numerous occasions.
