Trout-Tickler Posted 27 June, 2018 Posted 27 June, 2018 Aden Flint has now joined Boro (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44617600). Be interesting see if that leads to any movement on the Gibson front!
John B Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 According to the Echo Gibson is not likely to be joining SFC http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/16327427.southamptons-transfer-work-ongoing-but-dont-need-radical-change/?ref=rss

davefizzy14 Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 I read it as 'Boro want too much money for him, but we'd consider it if they dropped their asking price'. Hopefully it's this outcome A proven premier league defender who is a leader and the right age. Ticks all the boxes.
Cartman Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 I read it as 'Boro want too much money for him, but we'd consider it if they dropped their asking price'. I read it as 'On our shortlist but at the bottom'. Hopefully it's not this outcome A proven championship defender. Doesn't tick any boxes. Fixed
davefizzy14 Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 Fu_ck only knows what's going on here. What do you mean? Any inside gossip VFTT
SuperSAINT Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 Fu_ck only knows what's going on here. Elliott Ward v2.0?
qwertyell Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 Hopefully it's this outcome A proven premier league defender who is a leader and the right age. Ticks all the boxes.Proven at what? He's had one mediocre season in the Premier League for a relegated side who shipped goals as soon as they switched tactics from parking the bus every week. I don't see the point in spending a fortune on someone no better than what we've already got. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 Hopefully it's this outcome A proven premier league defender who is a leader and the right age. Ticks all the boxes. Why, we already have Jack Stephen's, and by all accounts Gibson is quite poor.
Batman Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 Why, we already have Jack Stephen's, and by all accounts Gibson is quite poor. as is stephens
View From The Top Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 What do you mean? Any inside gossip VFTT Nope. Nothing more than I've already passed on. I'd assumed, and so had those that passed it on, that it was all done bar the announcement but apparently not. I'm wondering if it's because other clubs are now in for him but that's just speculation by me really.

labibs Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 as is stephens So let’s spend £20m on Gibson, pay him £50k pw and then subsidise Stephens’ wage as we loan him out?
Pilchards Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 I told you last week this deal was off because Boro wanted a 15% sell on fee which we will not pay. If they drop the sh.it then we will be back as the player wants to join us. Found out all this from a boro fan.

If they drop the sh.it then we will be back as the player wants to join us. Found out all this from a boro fan. If the player wants to join us then surely it is a no brainer that boro change their stance. They have signed Aiden Flint and Paddy McNair so have replacements bought.
Pilchards Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 If the player wants to join us then surely it is a no brainer that boro change their stance. They have signed Aiden Flint and Paddy McNair so have replacements bought. One is a midfielder and and the other is a CB. Maybe they have replaced already but IMHO (not gossip, just guess work) we are fishing for another deal elsewhere and using this as an expensive back up plan.

Maybe they have replaced already but IMHO (not gossip, just guess work) we are fishing for another deal elsewhere and using this as an expensive back up plan. Yeah sorry forgot McNair is a midfield player. What did the Boro fan last say to you then? Is the deal still on if they change their stance?
Pilchards Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 Yeah sorry forgot McNair is a midfield player. What did the Boro fan last say to you then? Is the deal still on if they change their stance? Just said the deals off as Boro wanted too much sell on.

If they drop the sh.it then we will be back as the player wants to join us. Found out all this from a boro fan. We normally include them, so surprised we haven't this time around. I've read that Boro want BIG money for their players, so I assumed that was the problem. Maybe they have replaced already but IMHO (not gossip, just guess work) we are fishing for another deal elsewhere and using this as an expensive back up plan. Yeah, possibly. I suppose if Everton beat us to the Dane, then we might change our mind.
Dusic Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 What do you mean? Any inside gossip VFTTIs VFFT a verified ITK?
davefizzy14 Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 Just said the deals off as Boro wanted too much sell on. Ok I know you said that but you said it would be back on if they drop thier sell on stance right?
ericb Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 I told you last week this deal was off because Boro wanted a 15% sell on fee which we will not pay. If they drop the sh.it then we will be back as the player wants to join us. Found out all this from a boro fan. I knew there was wrangling on the fee, and a knew early terms with the player had been agreed in principle, but i was led to believe it was all but there. Surprised it's not gone through to be honest, but i guess that sell on bit makes sense as it sounded like everything else was in place.

Cabbage_Face Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 I’ve heard a similar story tbf, wether it’s sell on clause he currently has or Boro wanting to add one on for when we sell him, I’m not so sure. Probably the latter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Micky Posted 2 July, 2018 Posted 2 July, 2018 Is VFFT a verified ITK? He doesn't talk dog shyte like some on here. Gives the information straight explains where he came by it, one of the few worth listening to. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

davefizzy14 Posted 3 July, 2018 Posted 3 July, 2018 Hopefully the rumours of bids for Marlon and the Vestergaard are just a smokescreen for the Gibson deal to happen
Cartman Posted 3 July, 2018 Posted 3 July, 2018 Hopefully the rumours of bids for Marlon and Gibson are just a smokescreen for the Vestergaard deal to happen Fixed again.
striker Posted 3 July, 2018 Posted 3 July, 2018 Wow, I never realized Vestergaard was 2m (6ft 6in) tall.
SuperSAINT Posted 4 July, 2018 Posted 4 July, 2018 Any more news on this one? Echo reported that we aren't currently looking to sign him.
davefizzy14 Posted 4 July, 2018 Posted 4 July, 2018 Echo reported that we aren't currently looking to sign him. Yeah I saw that but some of the ITKERS on here were saying it was Boro haggling over sell on fee or something?
