Darron Gibson

Question: If he had of been named on the team to face Barca on Saturday night, would his groin have been a problem????

Probably not as much of a problem as all the Utd fans apoplectic at his inclusion.

Should we actually qualify for this thing you'll see the cleanest bill of health this side of a 'Jee-sus!' convention.

If he did it would have been announced prior to the champions league final that he was withdrawing from injury. Instead it was conveniently after just in case he was called into the Man utd squad.

Agreed, and it does seem a bit strange. But what on God's green earth is Trap doing making all these pontifications about players' supposed injuries, when he has no way of proving otherwise. Look, I was with Trap on the McCarthy issue but now I'm beginning to wonder.

He's 70 and he's dealing with a bunch of 20 somethings who are to proper communication ettiquet what the MK Dons are to Barcelona . Things aren't the way they used to be, and as much as I feel for Trap (because I'm from the plus 40 age group myself), there's not a damn thing he can do about it. If he keeps questioning everyone who claims to be injured he'll be left with no players by the end of the qualifying group.

In this instance, if Gibson was to take the hump over a few cheeky comments from Trap then he really would need to seek out a thicker skin. I'd expect players to take it on the chin.

Or in Darron's case, take it on the groin.

Ah Jaysus

Sunderland would be a great move for Darron but I honestly find it hard seeing him holding down a first team place in any top half prem team

**centre mid** · 03/06/2011, 6:07 PM

I hope he doesn't take up the guitar in his spare time so. "There's still a little bit of your taste, in my mouth........."

I checked that out before I posted it. They officially finished 10th last yr which is top half in my book!!

Jordan Henderson might be off to Liverpool. Meyler and Gibson next year?

**tommy_c12000** · 05/06/2011, 1:34 PM

Our Darron is a wanted man. Everton the latest club to be linked to him

Breaking news on SSN, Sunderland have bid for Gibson, Brown and another Utd player (presumably Welbeck). Sorry TV's on silent at work and that's all I'm getting. Meyler and Gibson starting midfield at Sunderland next year?

EDIT: Third player's JOSH apparently. Didn't see that one coming.

'Sky Sources' now reporting this as well on SSN.

Edit: on the ball there Swan

**Sullivinho** · 08/06/2011, 4:10 PM

John O'Shea involved too and bid has been accepted according to this guy who appears to work for Sky Sports.

"I can confirm Sunderland have bid for Wes Brown, Darron Gibson and John O'Shea"

"Bid is worth �12million in total and has been accepted from what I believe"

**SwanVsDalton** · 08/06/2011, 4:12 PM

Will they go though? Gibson might finally realise the game's up and seek first team football but JOSH might feel a little disappointed. �12 million for the lot is a decent bit of business too.
