Pulis likes to play centre-halves at full back to keep the back line narrow. If he does play full backs, he only picks one at a time.

If Gibbs comes, Nyom will drop out.

Think he will be a good signing. He will not be as exposed at left back consindering our midfielders also track back.
Also read on twitter, pulis first pulled out of the deal was because of the fee not the character references. Moving in the right direction albion - bring it on!!

Was never really bothered about having a natural left back.

Gibbs is a decent player though and gives us a different option.

I think we've only gone back in for him because other targets are failing and Arsenal have reduced the price.

That would be a very good deal in today's market.

Interesting this, rumours that Pulis didn't like Gibbs' character reference previously but the only direct quotes I have found are related to the original price quoted by Arsenal being too high.

I am surprised if his deal with Watford fell through because of personal terms that we are willing to match them but perhaps we have decided we can afford it with the seemingly low transfer fee of £7m.

Finally, FallOutBoy makes a good point re Pulis and centre halves at full back, will be interesting to see if Gibbs and Nyom do start together.

Nyom playing well back at rb, Gibbs in at left back. If Evans stays he comes in (or his replacement) and then that leaves Dawson /mccauley and hegazi fighting for one spot???
Whenever we are playing badly, just remember -
Paul Chrichton,Neil Parsley, Andy Mcdermott, Scott Darton, Winston White,Mark Angel, Fabian DeFreitas, Paul Williams......now, do you feel better?

If Gibbs comes, Nyom will drop out.

or Nyom will continue to play in his preferred position at right back. Brunt plays as a left back and Pulis plays both.

I'm sure Nyom has played centre half on occasions so I'm sure they couldn't play in the same back line under Pulis. Nyom was great against Stoke so I don't see him being dropped yet.

Not a great signing. Would be better to spend that money on a striker. We already have many players that can fill in at left back

He obviously wanted Wimmer to cover left back i think skyclad. As he said when in Hong Kong, we are out of this deal, but we expect a few in by the time we get back to the uk. The few didn't happen, and we've gone back in for Gibbs at a lower price.

He doesn't. It will mean we have better quality options from the bench.

I see you logic there.... sounds about right.

You will see from my posts I was never a fan of Wimmer, so with Arsenal lowering their price and Sparky taking one for our team, its turned out nice again!!!

Would be pretty happy about this. If we keep Evans then it means our defence is sorted and looking very strong.

Dont really rate Gibbs personally.

Perhaps the change will do him good though?

If he joins he gets my full support either way

Wimmer for 18 to be converted into a LB? Or Gibbs a natural LB for 7 i know who i would choose.
