So Charlie Adam with 12 goals this season and an accomplished dead ball specialist isn't good enough?
12 goals, 9 assists, great passing, great crossing, great set pieces, good work rate, can make a tackle, is pretty damn strong, good positionally, but because Utd beat Blackpool that means Gibson is better than Adams?
Laughable really as is the ludicrous "X million is about right for him", people pull these numbers right out of their backsides like its a statement of fact. IF Charlie Adams was the joint 2nd highest goal score(well a few joint first and a few officially joint 4th but that sounds weird), and was high up the assisting charts aswell, what makes him worth only 8million while other players who scored and assisted less are worth more than twice as much?
Silva was 20mil +(can't recall how much tbh) and got 1/3rd the goals from a more offensive position in a team that came joint 2nd, not getting relegated.
The most laughable thing is the people who will say the most daft thing, he's not good enough for Utd, he's unproven at this level, its a step up.
Utd played the same teams Blackpool played, Nani, Rooney, Vidic played the same teams Adams played, if he can be very effective in this league against predominantly top half teams, and away from home, what would suggest there is any level to step up too?
He's one of the few players in the league that scored more away than at home, and who got only 1 goal I believe against a relegated team while he got lots against top 6 quality teams.
Adams by any standard in the current pricing of players in this league is worth over 10mil, relegation can certainly cause his value to drop but depends on his contract and if Blackpool have to cash in, which they likely don't.
If he was English, or Spanish people would be creaming over him at 15mil, because he's neither no one thinks he's any good.
