    A move for Gibson anywhere would be good assuming that he would get 1st team football there.

    Haha, wtf? Real inspirational stuff from Moyes, and such a vote of confidence in whoever does come in.

    He's like a Scottish Ollie Horgan.

    There aren't many players about whom I'd say a move to Sunderland is good news, but this is good news.

    I am delighted about this move. I think he still has something to offer. His last run in the PL towards the end of last season was impressive enough I thought, taking into account his injury absence. I wonder if Jack Rodwell, who I think is an inferior player, would have been discarded in such a similar manner?

    Even if he ends up in the Championship next season it's not a disaster, as a Championship move looked like his best option until recently.

    Good luck to him.

    It's official.

    “We’ve got Darron on an 18-month contract and I think he’s a very good footballer; he’ll add a bit of quality with his passing and his play and I’d love him to add goals.

    “He has a really good strike and if he can add goals from midfield it would be a big bonus.”

    Talented player alright. I like him and his type of player. I liked how he tried to play at Turners Cross last May. There are pics of him and Oviedo on Twitter. He looks in good shape. He looked to be carrying a bit of weight last spring but looks leaner now. Maybe it’s the red

    Delighted with this, imagine if they stay up with him playing well for the remainder, setting up Defoe week after week, Conor who ? Harry who ? James who ?
    I think his game would transfer superbly to international ball and his talent is unquestioned, lets hope this move finally sees him tick the other boxes too.

    could be the vertical stripes. Quite slimming, I'm led to believe.
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    Haven't watched a Sunderland game in a long time, but if Gibbo's playing I'll be watching. A fit Gibbo playing regularish would be great to see.

    Can never figure out if he is just trying to manage expectations or intent on talking himself out of another job, you would think whinging about the scale of the task ahead soon after being handed the Old Trafford dynasty and a team that walked to the title the previous year might have taught him on that front.

    Well, considering they've both now been sent to Sunderland, yes.

    Delighted to see Gibson on the move rather than rotting away. Hopefully Sunderland works out for him, he can stay injury-free and he gets an opportunity to shine.

    Fantastic player and I can't wait to see him back in green. Could become a hero at Sunderland.

    Hopefully he's ready for the challenge ahead. Bottom of the league is a bit different from Man Utd and Everton. Hopefully they can get Gibbo on the pitch for at least 10 of the remaining games. On paper Sunderland seem reasonable so I give them a decent chance of staying up following the addition of the mighty Gibbo. Pretty good price on this as well at the moment! Seems like they've been written off but they'e only 3 points from safety.

    Stutts has his enormous gut and I get a throbbing in my loin when I watch good Irish footballers. Same instinct at work. Watch him and see I'm right!

    Darron could empathise with that to be fair.
