Utd obviously knew what they were doing when they sold him to us, it looked like good business at the time, a good player but horrendous injury record, you know what they say if a deal looks too good to be true.............

Unless you are using Seamus Coleman as the yardstick, he was pretty decent value for the alleged 500k we paid for him.

Even at that he has hardly given us value for money when you include his wages, he has hardly kicked a ball for us in the big scheme of things which is a shame because we have seen glimmers of what he is capable of.
 

Seems bizarre that with absolutely no intention of playing him, we didn't take the opportunity to sack him over that.
His contract is up in the summer which I'm sure they'll not renew. If they do, it'll be on much more favourable terms for Everton.

Why didn't they sack him? Martinez doesn't like purchasing in the January window so maybe his retention in the short-term was precautionary.

Getting rid of him would have left us one man short in the squad, as even if he doesn't play he has the ability to do so if it is necessary.

Come the summer and his probable departure, then I'm sure that whoever is in charge will look at replacing him and rightly so.

Didn't Pienaar get done for the same thing though? With that, and the club having previously stood by Ferguson through his trouble with the law and later re-employed him, they would have been open to a legal challenge I would imagine. Easier to just let it slide and wait til his contract was up.
 
Is he still at Everton ?
Is he alive ?
But, most importantly , is he fit ?

If fit, I would like to see him get a game against Palace. I realise there is probably zero chance of that happening , but I think we are badly missing a player like Gibson on the pitch.


He controls the tempo of the game, he gives us shape and has a great range of passing.

It is obvious that the current preferred team has lost confidence in itself. We have struggled in conceding goals all season , but now we are struggling going forward as well. I think everything looks very stale.
