Hi ed, seen Boro have signed McNair and Flint, does this mean that they're preparing for the departure of Gibson, potentially to us? Also seen that we and Southampton have bid for Vestegaard. Any truth to this? Cheers mate.

{Ed001's Note - yes they are preparing to sell Gibson, not sure who to off the top of my head though.

I know Saints have interest, no idea about Everton sorry.}

As previously posted, we should be looking at better players than Gibson.

I'm just wondering who these better players would be that we should be looking at and what the chances of us getting them at the minute would be
The reality is we really are not that attractive proposition multiple managers recently, multiple players treated poorly, multiple players signalled put for ridicule by vast sections of fans, no European football, unfortunately and I hate saying this bit not a particularly appealing location we can't just blow other teams out of the water with wages or transfer fees. I honestly think we need to feel in a bit and look at baby steps does he improve on what we have? If so then he's a yes he may not be a title winning centre half or even a top four centre half but we aren't as a club we need to build slowly it's easy to dismiss but 4 years ago who would have been happy with signing a non league striker (vardy) a unknown from lower French leagues (kante, mahrez) players like a wes Morgan yet they achieved the impossible baby steps and patience ate required.

Would someone like tah not consider joining us? Think he would be a statement centre back signing.

Can multiple players be singled out?

{Ed002's Note - Everton are keen on Gibson and will offer Besic in the deal.}

I see your point but in reality yes they can look at the abuse over the last few seasons that Barkley, Martina, schniederlin, bolasie, Keane, Williams, mirrallas etc have taken i would say that that's a list of players that have been singled out at various times for criticism from sections of the fans. Yes we have a right to voice concerns and our opinions but on the flip side if you are a player looking to sign for our club you would probably also take this into account.

{Ed002's Note - They would want money as well Joe. I don't know how much.}
