Did anyone ?
You cannot describe something as a mistake because of unforeseen circumstances that happened afterwards. Every signing carries an element of risk and I did not hear of anyone calling this out as a risky signing.
If we had signed Jack Wiltshire there would have been a number of people saying at the time that this was a mistake based on his previous fitness record and dubious drinking and smoking habits - anybody who predicted that was a mistake for West Ham to do this has been proven right.
Nobody as far as I could see predicted that for Gibson.
It can't be a mistake because it seemed a decent deal?
We've judging now with facts and evidence, which is better than going off your predictions. Isn't it?

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
Not a mistake at all. We needed another central defender, we had been one short for year, and I believed we were getting a very good player at a very good price.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 11:20 amDo you not think there was a mistake?

No one could have known he would need surgery twice in his first six months here and then when he was fit the team would go on such a remarkable run.
And certainly no one could have envisaged what has happened to bring about this situation. It can happen, and not just in football.
It seems all you want to do is point the finger at our club on this, and in particular the manager. I believe you are so off track with that.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
The point is, there was nothing in Gibson's track record that suggested this was a risky signing. He'd been professional on and off the pitch. General consensus was we'd purchased one of the top defenders in the league for a reasonable fee. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 11:52 amThat's some weird logic right there.

If after we'd signed Barton, he ****** off back to an old club and generally shown the levels of unprofessionalism on display here, then yes, you can point the finger and say we took too much of a risk on a player with his chequered track record.
This is just an unfortunate set of circumstances, and apportioning blame is a fool's errand. I think Dyche has plenty of credit in the bank when it comes to getting value for money from players.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
Announcing that Mee had signed a new deal before Gibson had signed may have jeopardised the deal.
Maybe the club wanted to paint the picture Gibson would be in line for a starting role with the pending departure of the current left sided CB.
Seems plausible.
Or maybe you are right, and Mee had a change of heart whilst the Gibson negotiations were going on/ deal done, and Burnley had then already broken their record on someone never likely to play.
Also plausible.
1 things for sure, Burnley dont throw around 15m fees, 40k a week wages, and 4 or 5 year contracts willy nilly.
Especially 2 years ago and for a back up player unlikely to be starting regularly.

The fact that you are saying that money is being withheld to Dyche because of the Gibson signing is suggesting that SD is being blamed for making a “mistake”. That would seem unreasonable since Garlick, and everyone else at the time agreed it was a good signing.
Just because something turns out to be a mistake does not mean it was a mistake at the time nor someone should be blamed.
I have seen no evidence at all that SD is being blamed by MG btw - as usual some fans are adding 2 + 2 and getting 15 million !

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
If I remember we were linked with him for most of the summer weren’t we and then went back in when other targets didn’t come off?
With our track record we’d definitely have done some diligence into his attitude.
Plus he was here almost 18 months before any problems seemed to crop up so it’s not like he’s come in and sulked straight away.
I’m not sure what’s happened other than the rumours but it must be something serious as neither side seems willing to back down despite both sides being in need.
Shame how it’s unfolded, I think we got ourselves a good player, it’s just not worked out.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
The more I look at it I think Gibson has been told over the summer he would either play or promised to be loaned out in January.
As neither of these materialised he kicked off. Dyche sent him away and now won’t back down as we’re safe anyway.
These things happen all the time at other clubs. Just a shame it’s with our record signing.

But on balance Sean's got a lot more incomings right than not, hence why we're still a PL club.
How was he to know Gibson would throw his toys out of the pram, and behave like a spoilt brat.
All we can do now is ship him out and get what we can, and save on his lavish wages, we're not the 1st club to import a bad egg, and we won't be the last.
But as i'm sure SD would agree, you can't make a good omelette with a bad egg.
Seems that people have to find fault with the club somewhere, and as they can't moan about our results, then they'll find anything to vent their complaints about.

Point 1 I stated some sort of better explanation wouldn’t go amiss due to it being our most expensive signing and highlighted that fans have put a lot of money into the club. I remember the begging bowls coming out for David Reeves but now the tables are turned it doesn’t matter what fans think. The club is struggling to get paltry sums if money out to these same fans at the moment. I accept others have a different view but I don t like things swept under the carpet.
Point 2 Yes
Point 3 Refer back to point 1
I always find it amusing when other clubs have things splashed all over the media when they've got issues.
Gibson is one of our biggest problems and there hasn't been a peep from either side which shows a good degree of professionalism on both sides.

Are you saying that SD is to blame for this signing not working out and this is why MG is now restricting his transfer spend. Because you seem to be and there is zero evidence or even logic that this is the case given MG was also happy to make this signing and has never once criticised the signing or pointed a finger at anyone.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
The Telegraph has an article today on it
Curious case of Ben Gibson and Burnley - from England squad and £15m transfer to outcast
MIKE MCGRATH JULY 06, 2020
The Sliding Doors moment for Ben Gibson came three years ago when Leicester showed interest in him as a left-sided centre-back who had broken into the England squad under Gareth Southgate.
At the moment, he is registered to Burnley’s 25-man Premier League squad but even with fears Ben Mee will miss the rest of the season with a thigh injury, Gibson is nowhere near Sean Dyche’s first team. Since January he has spent most of his time training at his former club Middlesbrough to keep fit.
It has been a dramatic, puzzling descent for a player to whom Southgate turned first when looking for a young centre-back as he started shaping his squad for the World Cup in Russia. Gibson was called up for the qualifier against Lithuania when Chris Smalling was injured, then kept his place for the summer matches one year ahead of the tournament.
During that summer, prior to the 2017-18 season, Leicester had an inquiry for Gibson turned down. They were looking for a centre-back as Robert Huth had sustained a long-term injury from which he would eventually retire.
Boro, who had been relegated back into the Championship, were determined to keep Gibson, so Leicester looked at picking off a different left-sided centre-back who had just gone down from the Premier League: Harry Maguire.
By the start of the next campaign, Maguire had replaced Gibson in Southgate’s squad for qualifiers against Malta and Slovakia, then claimed national hero status when he returned from Russia the following year.
Middlesbrough had also turned away interest from West Brom, who had just finished 10th and were willing to pay about £20 million for Gibson. But it was not until the following year, in 2018, that he was able to move when a deal with Burnley was struck for him to become their £15m joint-record signing.
According to sources, he took a pay-cut to join Dyche’s team, such was his determination to be a Premier League player again. The problem was Mee and James Tarkowski had established themselves as Dyche's first choice.
Burnley have not commented on what they call a private matter, but it is thought that Gibson had disagreements with staff and was frustrated at being able to contribute only 63 minutes of Premier League football during his time at Turf Moor. In January this year, he was given permission to train with Boro.
"Not everyone can play, we have and have had good centre-halves and he is one," Dyche said at the time. "He couldn’t find his way into the team and frustration builds off the back of that. It is just a situation where players want one thing and that doesn’t always work."
He is no longer training at Boro following the departure of Jonathan Woodgate as manager but there is little chance of him stepping in for Mee at Burnley this season. Dyche went with four youngsters and a player who had previously been on loan at Fleetwood Town on his bench against Sheffield United at the weekend.
There was tentative interest from Watford in a loan last January but there was little in it for Burnley, with wages not fully covered, no fee and the obligation-to-buy only after a number of games. It is likely he will head out on loan next season but with two years left on his current contract, his Burnley career looks virtually over.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
It’s a shame some sort of resolution can’t be found - it’s taken a long time (perhaps too long, from Gibson’s perspective) for a real opportunity to arise.
Had he been fit and ready to go, he may we’ll have been able to force his way into the reckoning for next season, over these last half dozen games.

That's new info I think. If Mee was always staying then signing Gibson was not a good idea. I thought it was at the time because we were desperate for another cb, having risked it for too long.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
It's not new info at all, it's just that people choose to have their own agendas - but why was signing a central defender not a good idea when we were one short? As for right-footed, we had two right footed central defenders and one left footed so Gibson fit the bill perfectly. I'll remain convinced that he looked, at the time, to be a very good signing. I thought he was possibly a better option than Mawson who had just turned us down.summitclaret wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 2:15 pmThat's new info I think.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
I know I'm stating obvious things here, but Ben Mee is club captain, you'd be hard pressed to find a manager that permanently drops his club captain. It never ends well that move.DCWat wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 1:08 pmIt’s a shame some sort of resolution can’t be found - it’s taken a long time (perhaps too long, from Gibson’s perspective) for a real opportunity to arise.

Ben Gibsons problem is that Ben Mee is an undroppable member of Burnleys first team, and with Tarky arguably one if the countries better defenders, Gibson was only ever going to play the odd game unless one got a very lengthy Injury.
I would have loved to have seen a fully Dyched Ben Gibson, a ball playing centre half probably earning England caps.
Hey ho, it's just one of those things

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
Well it is new to me and I suspect to most on here. We tried to sign a right footer in Mawson. The only agenda I have had for years is the unnecessary risks we have taken in back up in key positions Those bring a striker when we got promoted (we had 2 until Barnes signed in the January), cm when we went down and again in cm after we finished 7th and just about stayed up.
Other than that I have always supported the Board, especially atm.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
I've no idea what's gone on but what I do know is - and I don't think I was alone - I was very worried when we just had Ben and Tarky as CB options with, and all due respect to him, Kevin Long as back-up. We needed a better third CB and preferably a younger one. We were going into a tougher season with the EL and we needed cover. Injuries can happen at any time and who, let's be honest, would have bet on Ben and Tarky both being fit during Gibson's first 18 months at TM?
But fortunately they were (fit) virtually all the time.
You can understand Gibson wanting to play - we'd be unhappy otherwise - and comprehend SD needing him in case. It's worked out badly because SD sticks with Ben and Tarky and won't change and can we blame him?

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
If a player is 'really unhappy' at a club then why don't they just put in a transfer request? Surely it is within their 'human rights' to do so.
NO employment contract is more important than the 'health and wellbeing' of an individual.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
The transfer window is closed, and when Mr Dyche says " he will assess the situation at the end of the season" probably means regards who he will be sold to.
I very much doubt Ben Gibson will play for Burnley again, however stranger things have happened.

Re: Burnley - No Gibson recall
Can’t really expect an England international to be happy sitting on the bench for two years like a yts apprentice, Vydra has been unbelievably patient too and even he was starting to moan in the press. Would be better off integrating and rotating players in cup games so there not completely out of touch with the squad and feel valued and a part of things.
Get him back onside by being nice to him, can’t hurt in the long run, sounds like an ego thing has gone wrong somewhere.
