romavillan Posted January 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2019 A left back was very high on the list, to get one that has stamped on Ibra is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Austin is a household name in the premier league, I doubt very much he'd want to move to be a bench warmer for a mid table championship team.

Gibson is a much better player than Chester. It's not about 'giving Chester a rest' it's about improving the first team and Chester has not had a good enough season to justify his starting role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, one would assume he knew where Newcastle was before he agreed to join? true, but equally there is often a gap in what one thinks one can cope with what one can actually cope with when the reality is there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. As I’ve said I’m not privy to the information but circumstances change, he signed in summer 2016 iirc. Just don’t think it’s a reason to chastise him or be used to mark him as having a disloyal nature. In fact, I reason it as the opposite and therefore to get back on topic, I think he would be a good signing, with the right character and balance the squad nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester ha sbeen injured for a while now. I can't say I've seen enough of Gibson to know if he is better than Chester. Chester ha splayed more in pl. This guys flopped at Burnley it seems.

Nkt sure how good he is? I think Ben Gibson would be a great signing. He's a solid, left-footed centre back and can fill in at LB. I assume if he signs we won't be signing Mings. I assume we can't afford both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 If we do sign mings he must be ready to play right now and be 100% fit. He has a history of injuries and you'd get the impression with us at times that we are a health spa rather than a football club. Fed up with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Think we should change the title of this thread - we aren't going to get a whole new team now - Id settle for one player with both legs given some of the links.....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really followed him though - is he still any good? Doubt it is true - if Mings is as close to signing as it would appear, then that's our 5 match-day squad loan places all done.
