Re: Another Gibson loan bid knocked back
It looks as though David Wagner is trying to build a young team at Schalke with some decent young signings and loans.
Interesting that he has been after Gibson because he has just splashed out a fair sum for a 19 year old centre back from Stuttgart and he has also got another one back who had been on loan in La Liga.

It's up for debate of course, but I wouldn't call playing a back up role to be considerably substantial.

Re: Another Gibson loan bid knocked back
Hmm do we think Gibson is asking his agent to put some feelers out and invite a bit of interest?
Re: Another Gibson loan bid knocked back
Undoubtedly. He can’t be happy with having hardly played in a year and is probably wondering how he will displace Mee.jrgbfc wrote:Hmm do we think Gibson is asking his agent to put some feelers out and invite a bit of interest?
Re: Another Gibson loan bid knocked back
Wasn't it the same with Tarkowski not getting a game and having to be patient with Keane and Mee our chosen centre backs
Re: Another Gibson loan bid knocked back
But Tarkowski only got in because Keane then left.mkmel wrote:Wasn't it the same with Tarkowski not getting a game and having to be patient with Keane and Mee our chosen centre backs
If Tarkowski doesn’t leave, then Gibson won’t play as a regular, because Dyche doesn’t drop players, even after half a season of conceding like a Coyle side.
And even if Tarkowski does leave, there are a plenty of folk who can’t imagine a Gibson Mee pairing.
Re: Another Gibson loan bid knocked back
But it was pretty obvious that Keane was going to be leaving us. Hard to see how Gibson is going to get a chance tbh unless Ben Mee gets injured. I don't want to reopen the whole can 2 left sided defenders play together argument but I just don't see Dyche fancying Mee and Gibson together somehow.mkmel wrote:Wasn't it the same with Tarkowski not getting a game and having to be patient with Keane and Mee our chosen centre backs

All I’ll say in answer to that is “where would we have ended up with an injury to Mee or Tarks, or worse - both?ksrclaret wrote:Substantial - of considerable worth or importance.

Re: Another Gibson loan bid knocked back
Your reply implies that I’ve criticised the signing of Gibson. I haven’t, I’m delighted we’ve got him.Rick_Muller wrote:All I’ll say in answer to that is “where would we have ended up with an injury to Mee or Tarks, or worse - both?
I was simply wondering if he’ll play a more substantial role this season, i.e. will he start games, or will he remain as a back up. Personally I think he’s too good for the latter, so it will be interesting to see how things unfold.

Would like us to see us play a 3-5-2 with wing backs but I know this won't happen, a back three of Mee, Tarks and Gibson would be solid. Unlikely I know
Re: Another Gibson loan bid knocked back
If he couldn't dislodge Ben Mee before Christmas last season then he never will because Mee was woeful

Re: Another Gibson loan bid knocked back
We may be looking at having the option to switch formations about next season, all three can play out. I don’t get the impression Gibson doesn’t get what SD’s about and is buying into the idea. His time in the shop window will come sooner or later in an established Premier League Club, as he expected from Boro

Well Gibson certainly played on Boxing Day.Ashingtonclaret46 wrote:Do you mean when he was undergoing two operations for his hernia injury?
I think it was at that point Dyche had a decision to make, and he chose Mee. And to be fair Mee responded and was mostly very good in the second half of the season.
But that’s not really the point. The point is Mee was not dropped even after performing well below par for half a season. So it’s reasonable to ask, what will it take for Gibson to dislodge him. A long term injury maybe, but beyond that we’re struggling. So it’s reasonable to ask the second question, will Gibson be happy to remain at Burnley as a back up player.

Mee (likely, can't say for sure) wasn't dropped because his replacement was having hernia ops. The only viable alternative at that time was Long.

No, I’ve just established that is not correct above.duncandisorderly wrote:Mee (likely, can't say for sure) wasn't dropped because his replacement was having hernia ops. The only viable alternative at that time was Long.
Gibson was fit and available from around mid-December I think, so much so he started a game on Boxing Day. It was at that point Dyche chose to stick rather than twist.

I don’t remember too many covering themselves in glory on Boxing Day, and that proved his main chance, luckily for us it proved rock bottom for the team and form improved...ksrclaret wrote:No, I’ve just established that is not correct above.

Nothing suspicious and his chance will come.

A 352 could allow us to get Defour back in but it’s who do we play as the wingbacks?
