Tylluan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 A fully fit Gibson with no injury problems would have been on loan in the Championship this season. His prior history put a couple of clubs off. BPF is interested in staying as he's feeling a bit of pressure from Luke Southwood for his Northern Ireland shirt. Southwood will most likely leave Reading next season, for a better club, and Peacock-Farrell feels he also needs regular first team football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptimisticOwl Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Boyle is a left-footed CB out of contract in the summer, so it would make sense for us to be looking. I'd prefer us to sign Gibson, but his injury record is likely to get in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I know a lad in their U23s and I reckon they made a mess of his injury recently. Their youth set up seems to be a bit all over the place at the moment. Gibson looks a very decent player, hopefully the injuries are nearly behind him and he goes on to have a good career. Showed a lot of potential in the bits we've seen of him.

KrolMong Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I like Gibson, looks like a player who could go on and step up. He’s big and strong, good in the air, and mobile. He looks comfortable with the ball too. I would love us to bring in him and Storey in the summer if we can get up. I like Storey too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) The deal that took Gibson from Newcastle to Everton had stipulations attached that would have took the fee past £6m At the time it was the biggest internal transfer deal for a 17 year old with no first team experience. He signed on his 17th birthday. Had a storming first season then broke down pre season and never been the same again Edited April 9 by Tylluan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their youth set up seems to be a bit all over the place at the moment. They've also missed another injury. The young lad who recently broke through to the first team, Anthony Gordon, appears to be having a terrible time trying to remain upright. Any opponent coming within five yards of him and his leg muscles automatically disintegrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him having some excellent games early on in his Wednesday career. His first real stinker was in the worst possible game for him to have a bad day. After that he had an uphill task trying to regain the trust of the fanbase, and his confidence seemed shattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep but I just don't feel you can count all the games he missed whilst still out with the original double leg break that we signed him with. That's down to us: he didn't sign himself and it wasn't one of those indefinite injuries that others have had. After that he's not been as bad as some of them so I wouldn't be picking him out. I also doubt he's on as much as others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 We're enquiring about the availability of Ben Woodburn as Liverpool won't be renewing his contract when it ends in June. He's open to staying at Hearts, especially if they secure European football next season but we're hoping we might be able to bring him back south. Got this from someone close to his family, who live in Nottingham. We tried to get him for this season but Liverpool opted for the Hearts deal.

Chelters Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Will Boyle has rejected a new contract at Cheltenham and will be leaving them this summer. Has been linked with us in the past. Not convinced he would be any better than what we currently have, but is a strong aerial presence at both ends of the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed group stage of either Europa or Conference League, depending on the result of the play off round at the start of next season. Woodburn was on the local news a few days ago, saying how he loves Edinburgh, etc. His salary is a major stumbling block to him staying though. Think he's on around £18K per week at Liverpool. Absolutely no danger Hearts will pay him anything like that. I still can't work out if he's actually any good, or what his best position is. His game time has dropped off quite a lot. When he does play, there's the very occasional flash of promise but, all in all, he's been pretty disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
