Maybe why Kean had a long chat with SAF the other night after the game at OT.

Interesting. Depending on the price, could be a good 'un. Only young still, so potential is there.

I believe it is a loan with the option to buy, which was put in some weeks ago, agreed, but then we did not commit.

Good player with an eye for goal. Wouldn't say no.

[pancini]

i stopped reading after the 1st 4 words the Northern Ireland international???????

[Ricky]

Is this the republic of Ireland international player who is kept out of the team by our keef??

[Bobby G]

Yes Ricky.

[Boltinho]

From derry in n-ireland, but "plays" for ireland. and keef is taking his place. aweful..

[Kelbo]

In my opinion, he is five times the player Andrews is, he can pass, scores goals and closes down pretty well too.

Maybe just doesnt point enough

[chris]

Good player can score great goals, Tugay like goals, not much in that link though.

[Amo]

Emile Heskey kept Darren Bent out of the England side.

Which one of them would you have?

[pick32]

average player no place for him in our formation.

Neither would any living OAP's.

I hope there's nothing in this.

Reportedly after £40k p/w. Just goes to show everything that's wrong in the game. I mean what has he achieved exactly to justify that amount of money he's after? Fergie doesn't let many good uns go, especially at a good age - usually only after he's been crossed by them (e.g. Beckham, van Nistlerooy, Stam, etc.) so I'm going to say it's almost certain he's a dud and an expensive one at that.

So, Keith Andrews at around @ £23k or Darron Gibson on £40k... it feels a bit like I'm being asked if I'd prefer a punch in the face or a kick in the balls...

The fans who think that Gibson would NOT be an improvement in our midfield are seriously misguided, he is a player who would bring another string to our midfield, one that we dont really seem to have, a shot scoring central midfielder. He can tackle, pass and score and he can run.

He is a 300% improvement on Andrews.

Get him on loan with a view to buying later.

[pick32]

he has a good shot and simple range of passing, he is no better at tackling than pedersen or dunn.

[bellamy11]

Two reasons why he probably shouldn't sign:

1) Seems the epitome of a Match of the Day player. He creates a lot of attention for himself by having a cracking shot from range, but the Utd fans I speak to unversally do NOT think that he can pass and tackle. He is not rated there at all. He's not the step up in class that we need for the investment that he'd cost.

2) It'll infuriate me that half of this mb will not be able to spell his name correctly.

One touch bang.

The rest.

Also he qualifies as home grown.

[Ricky]

He removed his Twitter account after recieving too much abuse from united fans.

[pick32]

gibson has to quit twitter after 2hours of abuse

That was just what UTD fans thought of him.

[Gav]

I seem to recall a couple of the usual suspects telling us that Man Utd will not deal with Blackburn Rovers again until Venkys are out of the picture.

Be interesting to see how this one develops.

[1864roverite]

Gav

allegedly very much the same was said after the Shearer episode and look at what has gone since between the clubs.

Numerous transfer dealings.

wouldnt believe that sort of comment.

[chris]

Maybe he just has not had a consistent run in the Man U team, but them goals are just brilliant, its hard to believeve that anyone that can do that can;t pass once given a decent run in the team.

[JAL]

Going off the United fans comments regarding Gibson would seem hes definitely one to miss. Championship player !
