Disappointing but don't think it is time for panic or slating the club. Doesn't take much on here does it. We will replace him with better. 

People seem to ignore the fact that the player might have just wanted to leave anyway for a new challenge, different lifestyle etc, not always the manager or owners fault.

Its not good that we've lost Gibbo, especially to the Gas, but people need to calm down a bit... lets judge the window after the window. His injury record wasn't great and we've just signed Lewis Cass, there will definitely be more comings and goings.

Gibbo was awesome though, cant say that he ever gave less than 100% - not looking forward to playing against him that's for sure, think there might be a few yellow cards for the Gas this season with Barton as a mentor.....

I mean flickers and darrell have proven they know what they are doing. They know in more detail than any of us about his fitness and likelihood of being able to last seasons without picking up other injurys ao if they think its too much of a risk offering him higher wages then i trust there decisions

I think it's because Gibbo was such a fan favourite - a bit of a throwback if you like - that people are so disappointed by this. He is replaceable on pure footballing ability but probably not so easily in terms of attitude, commitment, demanding high standards from his peers and his ability to galvanise a crowd.

If we haven't tried very hard to keep him at the club, then it's a big error of judgement in my opinion.

I agree, but the thing is, none of us know how hard we tried to keep him and more importantly if he even wanted to stay. Sometimes in life you just want a new challenge and footballers are no different.

Obviously, he didn't want to stay. Good player despite his injury record. No point paying over the odds  and breaking the wage structure. Good luck Gibbo. 
If the wage structure can't compete with a fellow promoted team for one of our best players, someone who has a deep connection with the club, what are we even aiming for next year.

Disappointed Gibbo's going but football's only a short career and he's got to do what he thinks best for himself and his family. I think he always gave 100% in a Vale shirt and that's all anyone can expect. Best of luck to him in the future!
