If true great news always rated gibbo.
Perhaps Dave has persuaded him and others to stay.

He didn't exactly join an environment where he could flourish as a player. There's definitely a good player in there. A forward thinking left back will help us next year for sure when we'll need width and attacking options a plenty. He'll rarely be tested as much defensively as he was this season too. I'd say similar about Nyom too tbh although Gibbs is definitely better on the ball. I hope he stays.

This is my take on it, he will primarily be playing as an attacking full back, should the season progress how it ought to progress, and therefore he and Nyom as first choice full backs should be absolutely fine at this level.

I'd look at it this way, if we were signing a new left back that needs to get forward and had pace we'd be over the moon at signing someone like Gibbs.

Well, looks like Gibbs is in talks with Torino.

We'll be lucky not to get relegated again at this rate.  Just what are we going to be left with?

Major concern to lose Gibbs IF the new guy Townsend is the replacement.
Townsend sounds like he has some promise but is no youngster and more of a squad addition than first eleven surely ?

that escalated. I’d heard that they were considering making an offer but he would need to take a pay cut. This news that he is actually in talks with them after we’ve accepted a bid is a bolt from the blue.

If he goes, fair enough, but I won’t be impressed if the replacement is just 600 grand! Mind you it’s the kinda cheap skating thing we would do.

How much did GMac, Yacob and Mulumba cost again? The £600k player in might be a great player for years to come. Insane to judge players from lower leagues on a transfer fee. He must have done a lot right to get voted the best left back in the league by his peers and to become a fan favourite.

Didn't get that far, just looked at the Gibbs bit.


Just can't see us being interested in a loan deal for any of our players.

Now on twitter that he has agreed personal terms with Torino but yet to agree a transfer deal. Anyone heard anything ?

I've heard the same rumour as you. No idea if there's any substance to it.

Always thought the protocol was, the clubs had to agree a deal before the buying club could speak to a player.

It is indeed unless they have a year or less on their deal.

and it is for after the completion of the term of the original contract... otherwise Clubs talk first

Well that was what I always thought..  :)

Clubs can give players permission to talk to a team before a fee is agreed

The reality is that the buying club talks to the players agent. If the player is interested they establish what sort of contract package is required (very few deals breakdown once a fee has been agreed because of personal terms)The players agent either knows what price the selling club wants or he then approaches the club to open discussions about a fee. If the selling club's valuation is within striking distance of what the buying club is willing to pay then buying club will either talk directly to selling club or continue discussions via the agent.

All clubs do this. Strictly speaking it is against the rules but only where a club either doesn't take no for an answer or is just too blatant in their approach would the selling club complain as in the case of Van Dijk last summer.

Frankly the rules are arcane and need an overhaul to reflect the realities of the modern world.

This still sounds like it could happen...


West Bromwich Albion’s Kieran Gibbs is edging closer to a move to Torino, according to Tuttosport.
The Italian daily reports that Granata officials have flown to England to iron out details of a potential transfer, with Afriyie Acquah rumoured to be heading in the opposite direction.

Acquah is a midfielder apparently

Won't be sad to see him go. Another big disappointment from last season.
