BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted November 15, 2009 Kieran Gibbs and Ryan Bertrand made up England''s left in the Portugal U-21 game yesterday.Good to see them both doing well.Capello is reportedly keeping his eyes on Gibbs for South Africa, but I suspect that''s at least a tournament too soon for him.I see that Bertrand is now with Reading on about his sixth loan! But I suppose he''s on Chelsea type pay levels so...Anyway, good luck to them.By the way, what''s up with Joe Lewis - is he too old for the U-21s now?OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you about Gibbs, but the potential is there for all to see now, and it''s only a matter of time.[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted November 15, 2009 He would probably do a better job than minus 6 Bridge, same with Warnock. Gibbs was not the best for us, but you could see that he had potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 495 Posted November 15, 2009 Most posters on here thought Gibbs was a lightweight. Always slagging him off, just shows how much we know, eh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buncey 1 Posted November 16, 2009 Gibbs doesn''t play right midfield for Arsenal....... But of course Glenn Roeder was a tactical genius... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoogler 324 Posted November 16, 2009 I''ve got to say I''m a fan of Gibbs. I thought he was technically a class above in our team and got vastly better game by game. Is he international class? No, not yet. He would not be in my world cup squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lurd 0 Posted November 16, 2009 [quote user="crafty canary"]Most posters on here thought Gibbs was a lightweight.

You cant really judge him on that but then I know a lot of Norwich fans base their opinions on how someone played for or against us.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Hopkins 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Although Gibbs has come on quite a lot in the past season, I always preferred Bertrand when he was here.Think he has been held back by Chelsea more than anything. Mind you, they do have both the England and Russia left backs to choose from at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
