He passes well... sideways !

We need someone to pass the ball forward, at pace, putting defenders under pressure - Gibson doesn't do that !!

As for his shot, it's decent, if/when he plays and actually gets that far forward, I'll give you that... but one goal against City umpteen years ago is hardly a devastating strike rate is it.
I'm sure you'll correct/advise me of how many he has scored for us, I can only remember that one.

He passes forward as well to be honest

Don't get me wrong, I'd never start Gibson, but he's an excellent passer of the ball and I'd never attempt to take that away from him

Got to be fair at the end of the day

I still wouldn't play him above McCarthy, Barry or Besic though
 
I agree but he was just talking about ability (not potential ability). One of the only reasons I rate him is because I think he's good offensively and can play destructive passes that hurt the opposition. It's a game of opinions.

It surely is about opinions mate.
I genuinely see very little offensively good in his game and cannot recall a positive, destructive pass from him in the last couple of years.
I wouldn't have him on a Subbuteo football team, never mind Everton.

So why on earth would you want to retain him ???

Better for him and Everton if he's sold on to a club where he might genuinely be much higher up the pecking order - when fit - than staying here, rarely playing and possibly hindering the progress of blossoming talent from the U21s.
