He’s got Man City’s second choice keeper on loan.
Blackburn’s Captain and someone in the Championship team of the season for no fee.
Nothampton‘s player of the season and League 1 team of the season keeper for no fee.
Experienced, good defender who had a hatful of assists last season at Stoke for no fee.
A couple of ‘development’ strikers with a lot of potential for a couple of million each.
A LWB on loan who looks top quality, an absolute beast of an assist machine and balances the team out nicely.
And there are 5 more players to come in, hopefully, including our main striker for the season. We’ve also bid 8 million for a striker and 5 million for a LCB, neither of those deals are dead.
How‘s he not been backed? I’d say come the end of the transfer window, our recruitment will have been amongst the most comprehensive in the division, as well as leading to one of the biggest squad overhauls.
We all know the transfer market is tough and we all know patience is required and Gibson won’t be taken advantage of, so we just have to wait a bit longer, like a lot of other clubs that are in the same boat.
Personally, despite wanting everyone signed yesterday, I’m relatively happy with the business we’ve done so far, which appears to have been very shrewd and leaves us with lots of powder dry to splash on the big guns still to come.
