I must admit, I wasn't a fan of his previously, but he's been outstanding since joining us. If Roy has any sense he's a must for the World Cup squad.

Don't like to be smug but I was telling the world how lucky we'd be to sign him. Class player, not in the flashy way, just in the simplistic perfection way. Has proved himself from the first moment he stepped on the pitch.
And this is the moment the overzealous Gibson love in finally died
(Not a personal attack on Jags but just a comment on the forum in general)
Gibson could do no wrong a few months ago. How things have changed

Don't think we can underestimate the winning mentality he has brought to the side. Previous posts have likened him to Paul power naturally due to his age and city links. I see more a Peter Reid not in his style of play, but in his attitude. I have no doubt Barry was a massive influence in that dressing room before the game. He has been there and done it with city. He is our midfield general ala Reid, who takes the managers instructions onto the pitch. You only have to look at his interview after the game, he barely got excited as though that type of a result should be the norm not the exception. I for one was delighted we got him, but I don't think any of us could have predicted what influence he has had. It is more than a coincidence the only league game we have lost is city, when he was unable to play.

Bit confused by this.
Gibson was often declared as one of our best players. Some posters went as far to say that he was the best
Now that Mcarthy and Barry have come in, the Gibson love is nowhere near as strong
I never got it myself
I mean, Gibson is a good footballer and I like him, but I always thought the hype he got was a bit OTT to be honest
The bloom is off the rose for the Gibson Lovers it would seem

Welcome back Wayne
But, but, but, ....he's injured.....
And that, coincidentally, is when a lot of his supporters turned on him and the whole "He's rubbish cos he's always injured" arguments started
The Gibson love in went a bit too far I think
Again, good player, but not our best

Gibson is like McCarthy, just only about 60% as good.

Gareth Barry and James McCarthy have been an absolute revelation in midfield,what a partnership !!
True premiership quality.

butters mate, you'd have been hounded off the forum for saying that a year ago
Now you'll probably get people agreeing with you
Times and attitudes change I guess
Gibson was flavour of the month and now he's off the menu
I still rate Gibson, massively. His injuries are a real issue, but as long as we get a handful of decent performances out of him each season then he's well worth keeping around.

Gibson is a very good player but unfortunately he just doesn't look after his body well enough.
That doesn't make him a bad footballer though does it. People have short memories.
