International experience
200 games for Arsenal
Three FA Cups
Still only 27
£7m!

Maybe now the pay the money brigade will learn their lesson. Brilliant value.

Finally Pulis has a real left back lol

I don't think you can call thus lad average....Arsenal and England, that's better than average. He's the best left back we have had for many many years.

Brilliant signing, to think we moaned at us not paying 5/7million on Charlie Taylor and we have ended up with Gibbs. Great bit of business from everyone at the club.

Fantastic signing adding much needed left back! Means Brunt can now be utilised more in midfield where he's better
Ohhhhh Albion we love you!

He's also been used to winning, top 4 and FA Cups. Hopefully he'll bring that mentality with him.

be even better if he starts on the bench. He hasn't got the pace to play out wide and I can't see him being used as a DM.

Back to Gibbs;
Not getting Charlie Taylor for similar money is looking like a good deal after all.

Looking forward to seeing how we line up defensively at Brighton. I have reluctantly consigned myself to us losing Evans but I do think we will get a replacement in, probably Sakho.

We've got a left back and what's more Pulis signed him so gotta be more inclined to play him! Happy days

Good signing, happy with this. I like the idea of Gibbs and Nyom as our full backs, I hope TP does too.  :P
the regime don't like it man

Evans or new signing to centre back, Dawson to right back. I would bet my house on it

What has this comment to do with KG signing? Why the implied criticism, when the club have just signed a proper LB, for a realistic price, with an impressive CV??

Very pleased with this.  Good premier league player with bags of experience including champions league.  I think he would benefit playing for Pulis. (cant believe I said that)

I had to re-read this too, I think, He is actually saying that Nyom will be dropped in favour of Dawson going back to right back, which supposes that JE plus GMac or Hegazi will be C-H's

At risk of being accused of moaning, I must confess that I've never really been impressed by Gibbs when I've seen him.  He looks pacey and athletic but his final ball is pretty poor and he positioning and tackling is only ok.    I don't follow Arsenal closely and this is only my recollections from watching them on MOTD and Champions League.   I'm sure our coaching team have done a lot more due diligence than that!

It's hard to feel a bit down after signing a full England regular international with CL experience but I've just got a nagging doubt that he might not be as great as his billing.  On the other hand, if there's a defender somewhere in Gibbs, Pulis is the man to make the very most of it!

Welcome to the club.

Tony seems to have a plan and Kieran is clearly part of it.

Given all the phaffing about we have had with Taylor/Wimmer etc, its nice to get a ready made England International LB into the team.

Welocme Kieran! Looking forward to seeing you play.
MAGA!
