Afternoon all, another United fan here and first post, be gentle Always had a soft spot for Everton (as opposed to the red sc*m) and just wanted to add thoughts of mine on Gibbo. Sad to see him go really but probably a good deal for all concerned. As far as your team requirements, I'd say the following: - Is he what you really need right now? Probably not. But a good addition to your squad. I'd say so. - He never got enough of a run in our team and although he doesn't stand out in what he can do, I think being allowed to get forward more and have a chance to dictate attacks could develop him a lot. - He does have a good engine, positioning defensively can be improved but he covers well and moves the play well too, good passing range and I think he'd like to get forward and link with a striker to make runs and create space as a result. Darren Fletcher was absolutely slated for two years while Fergie persisted with him and he became pretty indispensable. - For half a Mil up front you've got a flexible player who can cover across the midfield, make sure Neville can stay in defence, has played in a Champions League Semi and scored against Bayern Munich (where he was playing AM and linked well with Rooney, created a second goal too). - He's also only 24 so isn't a player on the way down in his career, ready to be coached onwards by your excellent manager who will drag any talent out of him and then some. Hope he goes on to have an excellent time in royal blue -except against us Cheers.
