Another piece of future deadwood
How many ITK points do I get for guessing that?
Sell Holgate, get this lad in, sign a CB and have Gbamin and Gibson as further back ups, sorted![]()
Gibson is a ready made cover for LCB and another CH is defo coming in that’s 4 with ghambin covering if needed
Played a lot with pain and because of it, it did affect his level considerably to the point that some suggested he should retire...only positive is that apparently when Henry arrived at the club it has helped him to get better physically and he did show at times (not consistently) some glimpse of the level he had the previous 2 seasons.Seeing a lot about injuries on here, but in the last 3 seasons he's played 47, 35 and 31 games. Odd to say the least.
Can only go off what I have seen at pre season, Gibson impressed me a hell of a lot more than Holgate did tbh. Gbamin I have no idea if he can play there I've not seen him to have an opinion. If we do sign another CB I honestly think Gibson will be fourth choice. As @Eggs said it's very rare a player goes on loan from Everton and comes back to have a very good career with us.I really don't think Gibson is ready for the step up and needs a loan tbh lads.
I further don't really rate gbamin at cb he's played 36 games there. Out of those 36 games he's conceded 54 goals, lost 20 of the games and drew 6. This was in France and Germany, what's he going to he like in the premier league at cb.
....i’m not a fan of young players going on loan, very few come back and have a career with us. I think the best youngsters stay because the Manager wants access to them. Better they stay, work with Silva and the first teamers.

He does and he doesIt’s true. Watch him run. Doesn’t have the pace to go past a player anymore.
Attack attack attack, oh FFS Lewin!
Looked comfortable in most games, had a moment against Monaco where Morgan put him in a bit of a tight spot and then gave a pen away. He was solid in pretty every game I watchedDid Gibson look good or did holgate look bad? I think holgate has been poor this pre season but I don't really count pre season for much tbh.
Saying that Gibson hasn't really done anything to impress me either. I know he's highly rated and the club have high hopes for him but he's very raw and needs first team football to get the basics down proper.

I agree but you can't just leave them to rot in the reserves on the off chance we end up with 2 injured cb's.
I think the reason why we haven't done well with loaning players out recently is beacues a) we've been loaning them out to the wrong teams and b) they just don't seem to be good enough for where we are.
I think now our youth players will have a career path planed out for them and I presume players at the age of Gibson will be loaned out to get some first team exsperience.
I think it would make more sense to have someone along the lines of foulds stay and bulk up the squad and Gibson go get some first team exsperience with a view to coming back and pushing for a starting spot.
