So just the tactical dinosaur and a manager who's actually improved his game in every aspect?

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Utter mystery why we offered Gibson a new deal without a manager. And what was the fee we got? £2mill? Maybe? Nothing.
And yes, if he didn't rate him he wouldn't be offered a huge contract. It's not a few bob apparently, it's 100k a week. Why offer that to someone you don't rate and don't want to keep?
Bill would see Ross as an easy sign. Boyhood blue, decent wage, you'd hope you wouldn't have to persuade him.
But no, rumours are he's been offered lots as did Lukaku as we want to keep our BEST players as they need to be persuaded to stay.
And in the papers today, Barkley if eying to be paid less to join Spurs that the contract being offered to him here.

He was a number 10 against Chelsea with Davies and Gueye behind him, neither of which are a holding mid. In the 13/14 Derby he destroyed Liverpool when he moved deeper alongside McCarthy. I just don't think being off the front suits him.

He will have a decent game against watford probably.
That's generally the standard of opposition where he excels.

Schneiderlin improved his game massively.

Birds of a feather flock together
Gibson + Oviedo - £7.5m.
As have most other CMs in the league this year, given that Chelsea have bummed almost everyone?
Utterly absurd to write off a player's future entirely on the basis of one game - especially one where several of his first choice team mates were out injured, and the opponents were the best team in the league.

He doesn't have the positioning, drive or the stamina to play as a CM. He switches off too much.
Compare him with his team mates? For the past year or so I have been told on countless times how his stats are better than scholes, lampard and gerrard...
I don't rate jags anymore as he is clearly finished... but age has caught up with him and he needs to be replaced that happens to everyone , same could be said for baines and Williams... but... these are still part of the 5th best defence in the league and jags is only one goal behind him ...
Improved his game in every aspect? How many goals he scored this season compared to last? Has his goal tally improved?
Koeman dropped him as did Moyes and 3 England managers...
I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that assessment, even though he could, and has, done a decent job as a CM against some lesser teams.
I was disagreeing with the idea that such conclusions could be reached on the basis of watching him play one game in that position, in an under-strength side, against Chelsea.

He dropped him for a loss of form, and when he was reintroduced into the team, he was in the form of his career up until very recently. And you can throw his goal tally last season all you want, but only a blind man would say Ross hasn't been playing much better this season.
I don't even have to be english to know what a joke the clowns the English national team appoints are.
It's nice to see his detractors co-opting the "so and so dropped him" reasoning from the Deulofeu threads though...
You said that koeman had improved "every aspect of his game" I just pointed out that this statement is incorrect ...
