United starlet rejected a loan move to Norwich to go to swansea The worrying thing is that Ferguson suggested that he go to swansea rather then us...if that is the case, I don't think we should expect to see any young, up and coming united players ala frazier-campbell, indeed it looks like they're come mostly from chelsea. Wenger was dissapointed with the lack of matches for Gibbs (which incidentally must have been the reason he started the last 3 games, not because roeder wanted him in the starting 11, because he wanted to get some arsenal youngsters in for next season) MOTM - The Referee, a magnificant performance from him, 10/10 once more    Report

That is worse than Chris Martins record. The Welsh deserve him. Make 25000 people proud....Not angry !!!    Report

I also felt Gibbs deserved his place in the squad towards the end of the season, he certainly played with a bit more composure than Russell.    Report

And how you can even compare him to Russell... Gibbs can toughen up and get used to the hurly burly of The Championship. Darel Russell can't do an awful lot to improve his touch, passing and general awareness on the pitch. Lovely bloke but rather limited. I know who I'd put money on to have the best career.

What exactly did this kid do at Swansea?! the point i was trying to make (and to be honest i didnt put it across very well) was the fact that ferguson was telling his player to join a team in a lower division, rather then how good the chap may or may not have been MOTM - The Referee, a magnificant performance from him, 10/10 once more    Report

He was not prolific and more than likely would not have banged in that many with us. I don't know how much longer I can continue the delusional long term optimism.    Report

United starlet rejected a loan move to Norwich to go to swansea I suppose there is an interesting angle to this as at the time that we were supposedly using Gunny's links with Fergie to tap into the Man Yoo ranks for some loans, but Fergie was possibly telling them to go elsewhere.  But then again, perhaps he felt the lad wasn't yet ready for Championship football.     Report

United starlet rejected a loan move to Norwich to go to swansea Yeah but he didnt really choose did he we8wba, Ferguson recommended Swansea over Norwich and what young player at Manchester Utd would ignore his advice?  As said above, it could just as much been that Ferguson felt League 1 was the right level for him as anything else.    Report

United starlet rejected a loan move to Norwich to go to swansea Maybe Fergie thought he was more likely to get a game at Swansea, that he was not completely ready for the Championship and that the difference in standard between the top of Div 1 and the lower part of the Championship is not that great anyway.  In that scenario, assuming he wanted the kid to get games under his belt, Swansea seems the logical choice.

Wow. 2 starts 19 subs.  But if he couldnt even get in their starting lineup.... “You can run it for the very short term and gamble everything on success, which has led to a number of clubs getting into very, very serious financial trouble or you can run it on a longer term basis for the benefit of the community."
