Spot on observation, but my worry is that players of this type sometimes dont fulfill their potential. Liam O'Brien was another physically imposing midfielder with good touch and a great passing range who never quite made it. More recently Darren Potter was regarded as an outstanding prospect at Liverpool, but seemed to lack the mentality to impose himself on a game and make an impact. I hope Gibson makes the step up, but it will be hard for him to be assertive when he is surrounded by players with big reputations.
