Sifu Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Would actually rather keep Guthrie than Gibson. Aye, for me Guthrie > Gibson (always!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I wouldn't go that far like but he's not so much as an upgrade that I'd sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I had to choose who I'd rather have in a team, it would Guthrie over Gibson any day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I wouldn't go that far like but he's not so much as an upgrade that I'd sign him. Yep, he's by no means an upgrade. But if I had to choose who I'd rather have in a team, it would Guthrie over Gibson any day. Why? Guthrie contributes absolutely nothing. He's a somewhat neat passer, but not to the point of being a player who is great at retaining the ball. This is the extent of his skill. There is little else.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'd sooner have Gibson for the fact there's not much difference in ability but at least there'd be a bit of a buzz whenever he got within 30 yards of goal. Not worth signing just for that fact though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Gibson is obviously better than Guthrie in all areas. He's of course no better than Sissoko, but would've been a decent squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something in Guthrie that I just see which is better than what I see with Gibson. You mentioned Guthrie's passing which I think is a lot more than what Gibson can do at the moment.

Big Geordie Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Darren Gibson - if the Mancs are prepared to sell him, he's not good enough to come here. Far better signing a player who sees us as a step up, rather than a step down. Have we learned nothing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 And the £5million could be invested in other areas. Priority areas infact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Darren Gibson - if the Mancs are prepared to sell him, he's not good enough to come here. So if they sell Berbatov does that means he's not good enough to come here either? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they sell Berbatov does that means he's not good enough to come here either? There are two categories of players who get sold by Man U Category 1: the likes of Ronaldo and Beckham Category 2: Smith and Butt Gobson belongs to category 2 IMO.

David28 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The thing about those two categories is right, though. They would't sell Gibson if he was a player of use for them while he wouldn't want to go if he thought he'd be of use for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Oh come on, the "two categories" thing is blatantly bollocks. You have players who they thought wouldn't make it but actually made it big elsewhere (Pique, Rossi) You have players who were probably never going to make it at Man U but are doing a decent job for lower-level teams (Shawcross, Simpson, Kieran Richardson) So basically you have all kinds of players leaving Manchester United for a variety of reasons with a variety of results, just like every other club.

Yes the category stuff is bollocks. Even so I've put him in my own personal "I don't want him" category which is totally unrelated to the previous category discussion.

Dave Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Manchester-United-transfer-news-Darron-Gibson-now-target-for-Sunderland-and-rivals-Newcastle-article753376.html Sunderland are still in pole position to land £5million midfielder Darron Gibson, despite interest from rivals Newcastle. Magpies manager Alan Pardew is interested in snatching Gibson from under counterpart Steve Bruce's nose, as he recruits young unproven players. However, while Newcastle have yet to open talks with the Old Trafford hierarchy, a Sunderland bid was lodged a couple of weeks ago. Hope so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
