Wtf has he done in the last few years to warrant a contract extension,should of been sacked after getting caught drink driving.
 

Wow! It takes a lot to shock me... but this...
I honestly thought we were above this now. As much as I've enjoyed him playing when fit, it's only happened about 5 times in the past few years.

Absolutely senseless:confused:
 

I’m going to play devil’s advocate somewhat. I should be open and honest and say I reluctantly wanted him gone. He is not that old but he has been injury prone for too long now. I also think we probably could have had a bigger clear out over the last 3 years and we definitely need clear out this season.

I think the most important point to bear in mind this summer though is with a new manager will come a clean slate for players. Koeman will fall out with some players, it’s in his nature and in their place 1 or 2 we don’t rate much may well get a chance.


Koeman saw Gibson first hand against Southampton at Goodison. In what was a terrible display I thought Gibson was a standout player for us. He was one of the few who looked to get on the ball and pass it forwards. He is way off fitness but that’s a common theme through the squad. There is every chance he has sanctioned that deal.

People won’t like it but there is a very talented player in there. Maybe Koeman wants to have a final look at him. You see some of the silly money figures being bandied about now for players who are
not as good as Gibson and it’s easy to understand that if Koeman thinks he can get him fit it makes sense to give him a chance.

I strongly suspect either his wage packet will be going down or alternatively it will be a significantly more incentivised contract. He’s still only 28. I disagree with the decision but am more than happy to back Koeman at this stage.
