QuoteGibson unsurprisingly not in United squad to tour the US.

Hopefully he completes a move soon and is not left in limbo.
According to the Manchester Evening News Brown went for 1mil (due to chance of repeat injuries)and not the 4 mil mentioned in other papers. So 6mil for Gibson could well be right. Which of course would mean O'Shea went for 5mil. The same paper is saying Gibson will sign for Sunderland next week.Originally Posted by paul_oshea

Could see this as the beginning of the end for Gibbo. Just never thought he was able to cut it and he'll have no safety net at a club like Sunderland. Its been a bit of a graveyard for Irish players in recent years and I wouldn't be surprised to see him added to that. Could see him being loaned out abroad this time next year.
He's 22 with 21 career appearances total. It's not controversial at all. Yes he has ability, so did Joey O'Brien but injury stifled that and hampered his development. I fear the same for Meyler.
Yes, but once he got in their side, those apps came pretty much straight after, up until the injury. He was measuring up. He can still make it but this season will tell a lot though. We are due a midfielder's career not falling by the wayside surely, you could make a decent eleven from those who capsized in recent times.
Could be staying at United according to the Mail.

40 grand a week ????????????? how does he think he deserves that, what is he on at united?
He might be pricing himself out of a move. But I think he's missed the boat - Fergie is surely planning for a new campaign without him. Lower your demands and get out Darron.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
£40k for such an average, average player. Sums up the over-rated EPL perfectly.

Sunderland made a triple offer to United for Gibson, Wes Brown and John O'Shea transfer window but, although Brown and O'Shea have since completed their moves, Gibson remains at Old Trafford.
Ferguson said: "He was at the point of going to Sunderland and somewhere along the line, I don't know exactly when, I think Sunderland moved the goalposts.
"I suppose their job is to try and save money.
"From what I can gather, they gave him an offer and then changed it. That annoyed Darren and I think he's quite right.
"If you can't trust them on day one why wait until day two?"
Ferguson admits Gibson, who has been left behind from United's tour of the USA as he looks to sort out his future, has been left in limbo by the collapse of the Sunderland move.
"Darron was undecided about what to do when we made the group up to come here - and we both felt he'd be better staying back," added Ferguson.
"He seems to be in limbo at the moment."
Sounds unlucky. Unless Fergie is sticking up for him to dispel any bad rep he's accrued to seal a deal. But I'd like to think Gibson wasn't making overly outlandish demands.
Maybe Sunderland changed their mind between making the offer and signing - in that time they signed Larsson, Gardner and Vaughan more or less on the cheap. Plus Meyler's getting back to fitness. Perhaps their interest in the move waned much more than Gibson's.

He's in a right mess now knowing that United and Sunderland both don't want him.
Captained United reserves last night:

Apparently when he signed his most recent contract with United, his uncle was going around complaining that poor wee Darron was "only on E25,000 a week"
You try getting by on E1,300,000 a year and see how far you get. Bentleys and Wags dont come cheap y'know.
he does the odd nixer aswel to keep himself goin ,puts his skills to use. the corpo hire him to sit on benchs in temple bar to scare the pigeons away. does kids magic shows aswell apparently he's able to disappear for 90 mins
Gibson linked with a loan move to Everton in January, although done papers have it as a swap deal to take Ross Barkeley to United
Played 90 mins tonight for Man Utd reserves against Wigan. Won 4-1, assisted Morisson for the first goal.
I watched the game last night and as the most senior player in the United team, with the experience of playing in a champions league semi final you would have expected him to stand out like a sore thumb at this level, but he didn't he wasn't even Uniteds best midfielder with Petrucci who hasn't even featured for united in any sort of game easily out shinning him and Morrison too.
I will cry if Trap brings him to the Euro's, It's bad enough having to see him at club level but at international level too it's depressing. I still don't see what trap see's in him or how he is still at United I really don't. He has the odd world class strike in him but even then it;'s about every 2 out of 10 strikes are like that. He's slow and can only pass the ball well when he's under no sort of pressure.
It was his first game of football in over 6 months.
