Heard today that Gibbo is off to Sheff Utd. Has any body else heard that?

Only way to explain the Hussey signing. Whilst a good player, was he a priority for the cash and wages involve? Why sign a player who will expect to start in the same position as your player of the season?

Get rid of the keeper ASAP, we do need someone a bit more aggressive in midfield, however I think Walker is that player - just need to give him a go! Don’t think we need a CB, thought Hall looked a really good player today. 

Walker was a nailed on starter albeit only for 4 or 5 games before he got injured. 

Rightly couldn't get back in as we were playing so well. 7 points from 21 has changed that status. 

Time for his recall to add a presence

I haven’t, but that for me would explain why he wasn’t playing today. I’m not buying that horse poo that RS reported before today’s game. DC said it’s about competition for places and Hussey is a better player. I assume we’ll get some compensation if he goes. If he does go he should go with the clubs blessing as he never gives less than 100%

Not for me, he’s nowhere near mobile enough.  He’s OK sitting in front of the defence, mopping up and pinging the odd 40 yard pass once in a while, but once he goes upfield past the halfway line opponents just run past him.

I’m hopeful we’ll add another body in midfield and hopeful also that player will add a bit more bite and running.  Time will tell.

Yes I'd be a bit cheesed off if I was Brad walker - I still think he has a big part to play in the next few months - he wouldn't have Jessica'd around their midfield today. Does smell of gibbo leaving to me unfortunately

if you were Gibbo what would you do? he’s been fantastic on the left and now its as tough he’s an easy option to just take out as he’s young but i’m sorry he’s been one of our best players and if i was a player i’d be fuming and as for contract i don’t think i’d sign unless i was sure about my position and status within the club. Gibbo could easily go league one and to be honest i’d probably run the contract down and start somewherelse to play first team football. obviously i’d love to see him in a white shirt but signing hussey and having wozza on the right where do you put him unless you change the system again

He wasn’t dropped in favour of Hussey despite the garbage Radio Stoke were pedalling. I did not once hear them mention the contract situation. As I’ve said, he’s either refused a new deal so we’re looking to get money for him now, or there is an offer on the table. Either way we can’t risk him getting injured in January. And even if he stays, as seems unlikely unless he does extend, then at least we have competition (although if that’s what we can expect from Hussey then Gibbo will be back starting in Feb). It has nothing to do with his performances, it is purely due to his contract situation caused by the ridiculous transfer window.

I don't believe for a second that, with a player as good as Gibbons, there's been no contract talks. Seems fairly clear that he's either indicated that he's leaving in July, or we're miles apart in wages. That being so, makes perfect sense to sell him now if there's clubs interested, particularly at Championship level as rumoured.

I agree. There’s not a chance Clarke would leave him on the bench in these kind of games. I expect gibbons to leave in the coming week.

It wouldn’t surprise me. The only reason he didn’t play today is not because ‘Hussey is a guaranteed starter’ as Radio Joke were pedalling, it’s because he either indicated that he won’t sign a contract extension so they are trying to flog him now rather than lose him for free, or because there is already an approach on the table.

I dont think its a case of them trying to flog him,there has been interest in Gibbo all through the start of the season from the league above and the championship,so with him being out of contract in a few months the club cant really stand in his way,the championship would be a great move for the lad and we cant begrudge him that...sadly the fee wont be what it should be just due to the lack of contract length but what i would hope for is that we insist on a decent sell on clause a bit like exeter do with their players they sell
