I’m not sure how you can expect Dyche to get us comfortable in the premier league whilst making money on every transfer and playing everyone in the squad regularly. It is impossible and proven in pretty much every premier league squad. When you have 25 players a few will not play much. If they choose to spit the dummy out they need to be kept away as our squad morale is imperative at Burnley.
The idiots moaning as to why we signed him would be moaning if we hadn’t if Mee or Tarky had been injured at any point.,,,
You don't spend that much on a third choice centre half for a club like us who are short of cash - it's been a bad signing all-around and we have had quite a few these last couple of years

Re: Gibson training at Middlesbrough
Were you the one voice against this signing when it happened Boysie? And how much should the club have spent on a center half? You bitch when they spend and you bitch when they do not spend. Have they done anything well in the last 10 years in your opinion?

Re: Gibson training at Middlesbrough
Tarks cost 3m worth circa 40m
Mee worth 10m more than purchase
Lowton, Taylor, Westwood, Barnes the same
Rodriguez, Wood worth more than purchase price
Pope cost a few mill worth north of 30m
Even the failures of Vydra and Gibson will be smallish losses at worst....

Even when we were having our rough patch during the first half of last season (when Gibson was injured, incidentally) Mee was one of the better performers. It was Tarkowski who blew a bit more hot n cold.
Second half of last season Mee (and Tarkowski) were outstanding.
This season, in the main, Mee and Tarkowski have been excellent.
You could quite rightly say that Gibson has been unlucky but there's a reason he hasn't played in place of Mee - it's because Mee is a better centre half than Gibson.
Disagree about this season - have you forgot about the multiple mistakes by both of them

Fair enough. Everyone has an opinion.jrgbfc wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 7:54 pmI'd disagree that Ben Mee was good the first half of last season, personally thought he was awful. He was very lucky not to get dropped along with Hart after the thrashing by Everton.
And I don't think it's that cut and dried that Ben Mee is better than Gibson tbh. Assuming he goes this summer will be interesting to see what happens to his career.
I didn't actually say Ben Mee was good in the first half of last season. I said he was one of the better performers. Let's not forget that the whole team seemed to had forgotten what made Burnley what they were during that period. Listening to some, you would think Mee was the only player to have been below par.
I could be completely wrong but I would also put my entire house on Mee putting the most into training during any difficult period the team have and showing an incredible attitude and work ethic. He's also more than worked himself into credit for the odd poor performance during Dyche's tenure.
I'd still like to know the run of games where Mee was particularly poor and could/should have been dropped for Gibson though?

Re: Gibson training at Middlesbrough
I agree virtually the entire team were awful the first half of last season, maybe it would have been a bit harsh to drop Ben Mee. I just think after spending the money on Gibson he at least deserved a chance.

Mee has had far more really good games this season than stinkers. We have the joint most clean sheets and I bet his stats are right up there with any centre half for duals, blocks, headers etc.

They are versions of what Walters came for absolutely. Ready made replacements that can come in for injured players and have prem experience. If we don’t get injuries they may not play but it doesn’t mean that the younger players are not learning from them in training and around the club..

Re: Gibson training at Middlesbrough
You aren't making enough of this, Boysie. This isn't the first time Dyche has made the same mistake. We signed James Tarkowski in January 2016 for close to our second highest fee, behnd Andre Grey. And he didn't make a start for 15 months, and then only when Mee got injured. So don't concentrate with glee on how bad a signing Gibson was, when Dyche used exactly the same principles to do the same thing with Tarkowski.
Tarkowski was signed to replace Keane, and he did. Gibson was signed to replace Tarkowski, except Tarkowski hasn't gone; Tarkowski signed a new contract. And neither Mee nor Tarkowski have been injured, so Gibson hasn't played. It's that simple.

Who was actually responsible for that picture, was it Gibson himself, or a mock-up? I don't keep up with anti-social media.
Agree his value has now gone down considerably, whether the board's expectations will reflect that when the offers come in the summer is another matter, can only hope memories will fade before then!
Think most people will agree that no-one at the club, player or staff has exactly covered themselves in glory with this one

Tarks wasn't on the radar the season Gibson came, played brilliantly but wasn't on the big money wish list of others....that was beginning of this season when Maguire left Leicester.

Re: Gibson training at Middlesbrough
Hi Boysie, "last season before Xmas," apart from the first few games, Ben Gibson was injured. How was that going to work putting him in the team then, even if both Mee and Tarks were under performing?
The way I see it: summer 2018, Ben Mee had not signed his new contract. So, it makes good sense to invest in Ben Gibson - and maybe BG was expecting to start... But, BM did sign his new contract. So, who gets the shirt? If both fit, the better player. If one isn't fit, the player who is fit. If one is off form, the player who is "in form" - but only if he is also fit. I think that's how it's worked out.
We sign footballers for the squad, I understand. We pay them when they are injured, we pay them when they don't get a start, or on the bench. We pay them to compete to be ready to start when they get the chance. If "toys have been thrown out of the pram" that needs sorting. If we have a squad, it's unlikely that said player will get a start in those circumstances.
Re: Gibson training at Middlesbrough
Younger player, not as established as Gibson was...so as with Tarks probably prepared to wait.....but get your point.

Tarkowski was signed to replace Shackell in terms of numbers while knowing also that Duff was coming to an end.
Gibson was signed to replace Keane after we had got away with one defender short for a year.

I get what your saying, but this is Burnley....15 million on a player who wasn't going to start, I'm not having that. Our transfer activity at the end of that window was extremely re-active and if we can recoup 15 million of the 25*** we spent then weve done well.
