Romey 1878 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Now it's confirmed. Ossie leads a charmed life doesn't he? Just when you think he's done something happens so he keeps his place. Now we'll have to wait til Pienaar's back before he should lose his place.

badaids Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Poor Gibbo. Terrible news, not just for the team, but for him personally. Back from injury (and back into the international fold), and then back to square one. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Feel really sorry for him.... Especially due to him only just going back on international duty.... He'll come back stronger.... It's just good to see that RM was right on the ball by banging on about more depth in the squad.

msloan78 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Did my ACL a few years back and needed the full reconstruction, which took in total about 12 months recover fully. If he's having a recon, we'd be lucky to see him this season. Gutted for the lad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaminfox Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 He is such a good player for us, really upset that this happened. At least we have Barry and McCarthy I suppose Maybe Lundstrum will get a chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 He is such a good player for us, really upset that this happened. At least we have Barry and McCarthy I suppose Maybe Lundstrum will get a chance! I have to say looking back on his Everton career that he has been inconsistent. At the beginning of last season, he looked great, then he was injured, and since then his form has blown hot and cold. It's a bit ironic that after turning his back on Ireland that he suffers a bad injury after returning for them. I hope he isn't out for long as I don't like to see players injured, but not the huge loss some fans are making out, other than decreasing our options. Certainly this season we've mostly been without him. Good luck to him all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Heard Martinez on the radio this evening saying that his injury might force us to move in the transfer market in January, hope that means we go for the lad from Porto Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think Fernando would be a prized asset if we are able to get him. Very solid player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to find someone as cover/cheaper and save our larger kitty for a capable striker in January or next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vranny Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Fernando is another player available on a free in the summer, so if we did get him you'd hope it'd me on a pretty minimal fee anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 We need to throw almost all our available money into a Midfielder or 2 IMO as a priority. One more centre mid injury and we are in big trouble. Even before Gibsons injury we needed cover - I would go as far as saying we need another 2 in there. Osman is simply not the player he was. Available Central Midfielder options: need 2... Osman Barry McCarthy Junior - good enough? Lundstrum - ready? excluding Barkley as he is an attacking midfielder and is not yet ready for the responsibility as part of a two man central role Striker options need 1 using our current system... Lukaku Jelavic Kone Mirallas Naismith Deulofeu Vellios Whilst realistically you won't be looking any further than Lukaku, Kone and Mirallas as potential goal getters - we do have more options up front.

I think we shouldn't spend too much in January and definitely not on central midfielders. I'd go for a cheap central midfielder in January as I do think we need cover, I'd maybe give Barkley a shot in a box-to-box role as well later in the season. We just need solid players in those positions. And then I'd spend big on forwards in the summer. It's those four positions up front - the centre forward, attacking midfielder and wingers - who are going to help us push on and I think we need more quality in those positions.

Peter H Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Gutted for Gibson, agree with Haf. We must get a replacement. Wouldnt mind us looking at someone like Diaby (although also prone to injury) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideliner Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 we need news about Gibso- same mysterious absence last season - what is wrong? when will he be back? should'nt we sell him and get proper fit cover for Barry and McCarthy?

What's mysterious about a cruciate ligament injury? He's back at a push just before the end of the season, but more likely not until next season.

Sideliner Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 sorry missed the injury to knee part - still not clear when back again - still feel we need reliable cover at def mid - another injury or suspension and we are on the rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Sideliner - he's not coming back this year. It was season ending injury (same as kone). So he's out until next season. Is that clear enough for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideliner Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 thank you markjazzbassist - what is also crystal clear then is that we have insufficient cover for def mid position - with no hope of internal solutions two suggestions : get cover in January and stop depending on Gibson in the long run - i hope that clears up what i was trying to get at with my posts putting factual errors aside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 We have osman to cover in central midfield and Barkley can drop back as well. So we are a little thin there, as well as the wings. Once baines is healthy well have Oviedo and Naismith since Gerry is injured. I'm sure January will see some signings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I don't think he'll be an Everton player for much longer after he does return tbh. Said it at the time of his injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I can see him being really important actually - Barry should hopefully sign and another dcm but we do need 4, especially with Barry getting on a bit and us having 2 games most weeks (Tues/Wed alternate!) next season...

Pearso Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 in the crystal palace pre-game today roberto said that darron will be back in training next week and expects to see him play before the end of the campaign. Brilliant. I doubt he'll be match fit or shake the rustiness in time to start against City on the last day, but it'll be good to have someone on the bench to slot into CM should whoever is playing there (obviously Barry is ineligible) take a knock.
