Gibson back for the game on Wednesday. He was in the away end yesterday having a beer with us just before half time!

Shaun

Of course he was, I mean prem league players always go in the away end and have a few scoops with us mere mortals instead of travelling with the team don't they? I suppose he drove up there in his ford focus as well?

Actually he was in the away end. Some fans posted pics of it on . But he's had a setback and won't make the midweek game.

He was in the away end,

Mirallas is expected to be back for WBA tho

He was there, you arrogant man.
Ste Old Swan

Bet the 2nd poster feels a bit of a plonker now...

He was there, James Wallace was just in front of me as well.
Addo

There are about 20 photos of him at the game on sat. He was a bit worse for wear as well! Check your facts before you get all smart arse on us first poster

He was there, james wallace was there in front of him, he was talkin about his bet he done

Haha, what great 1st reply to my message!

Shaun

Seen him there myself. its happened a few times over the years. I once witnessed richard dunne singing kopites are gobs&£"es in the anny rd end. antefc

Steven Pienaae was in the away end at Cheltenham, he posed for loads of photos too! Second poster has never been to a game in his life

Dave M

Awkward moment there for the second poster! haha I was there and in fact Gibson was sitting in the away end! He loved it aswell!

Does anyone think everton should put in a 1.5 million bid for holtby to try and snag him from spurs

Yep, I'd love that, snatch him under Spurs noses!

Wages mate, we can't top Spurs unfortunately and money talks

Degsy

I don't think that will happen. Pre-contract agreement must have a section in it that rules this out. If not Tottenham chiefs need their Hess checking! Holtby gone move on!

Why pay 1.5 million to have him till July when he has a contract starting with them

Spurs have already had two bids turned down, he's guna end up there

Totally agree mate maybe 2m to make them think about it

The problem with Holtby is not his transfer fee. The big sticking point would be his high wage demands, he is asking for an amount similar to what Fellaini is on, now, haven't seen a lot of Holtby, but surely he isn't as good as the big Belgian? Not to mention, our wages to turnover ratio is very high, something like 75% or something, we cannot be adding to that, for this to happen, we would have to get someone off the books (we are trying to get Heitinga off the books, but easier said than done).

Why? He doesn't want to join us. He's a free agent in the summer and was free to go anywhere. He picked Spurs, he wasn't forced into it, or sold to them. And if he was that brilliant why are Schalke letting him go instead of offering him a new, bigger, contract? Bluesaint.

Been reading posts about holtby for past 3 seasons. Change the record guys.

Please stop going on about Holtby. he's just not good enough.

We would be very stupid not to.

The problem is not that we can't afford him or that he isn't good enough....HE HAS ALREADY SIGNED A PRE CONTRACT WITH SPURS!! (Sorry for shouting but people seem oblivious to the plain facts)

Some papers are reporting that we are back in for Barnsley right back John Stones. Wigan, Sunderland and Fulham have all had moves rejected but Moyes hopes to get him for £2m.
Joe EFC

He might be great in a couple of years but he isn't near ready for the premier league. Maybe if we got some money knocked off by sending a couple on loan to Barnsley, it'd be an okay deal for the future.

You never know until you put them in and give them a go at top level. Look at Shaw at Southampton. Could turn out to be a bargain!

Would be a cheaper alternative to San byram who I would prefer we bought but just signed a new contract until 2016. And would probably require 4 million + to land him I recon 6 million would get him but we don't have a lot of cash
And right back is somewhere we need to strengthen now or in the summer with the midfield striker cb roles also needing new recruits and maybe even a goal keeper

To the last post. So wot your sayin is then that we need a new player in every position, haha did you go 2 the same coachin school as villas boas you clown

I don't think that's a priority at the moment Neville coleman at hibbo wen fit play that position midfielder at striker is wats needed I think.

Not being funny mate but he's right your the one whos deluded if you don't think we need a new player in the 4 main areas

I didn't say we didn't need people in them areas did I lad, I said he was stating the obvious by sayin we need sum1 in every position so learn 2 read b4 you hav a go butthole
