Do you expect the kids to play all the football for the club ! What about a £9.5m, £45K a week, deadbeat who shirks responsibility and hides behind these kids. For that kind of money we want a player who can lead others by example - not hide so you don't make a mistake ! You're darn right I want him out of this club - I never wanted him here in the first place ! City fans deserve better than this 3-legged donkey ! I really struggle to understand how the player who is seeing the ball the most in the team can be accused of hiding. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's worse if he saw the ball the most - what's he doing with it ? I expect him to hold onto the ball until a pass is available, I expect him to carry the ball and dribble past opponents to create opportunities for others, I want more goals from him. What is our club policy ? - the more you're paid the least responsibility ? For £45K a week a player should have the ability to beat/dribble past multiple opponents. Can Gibson do this ? He's a senior player, not a youth product or loanee or free transfer retiree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not typically the requirements for central defenders, albeit he does this better than any of our other CB offerings. You basically want him to be a box-to-box goalscoring midfielder. Weird.

I'm sorry you want what? You want our central defender to be dribbling past opponents and scoring goals? Ben Gibson? Scorer of six goals in his entire career? I think the issue might be with your expectations of him than him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this is what he wants from central defenders for £45k p/w imagine what he must expect Van Dijk can do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tell you what's mental people supporting the purchase of skill-less players such as Gibson, paying him £45k p/w and not expecting him to do anything cos he's only a defender ! Hopeless !

Coneys Knee 988 Posted October 26, 2023 I’m pretty sure nobody knows how much ben Gibson earns. Doesn’t take away the fact that he’s a dreadful defender that is currently being made to look halfway acceptable purely down to the absolutely dire form of those around him. If you were in charge of signing players for a championship club or even a league 1 club and Ben Gibson was available, would you sign him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
