Upthetown1970 added 07:48 - Dec 9 Gibbs is an outstanding talent hope we have nailed him down long term to keep the big teams away from him. Lambert protect this kid he's our future.

BaltachaFanClub added 09:27 - Dec 9 Nyan Mesuria is one of Football managers “wonder kids” I know there is nothing in that, but they only name 10, and the rest are at clubs like Barca etc.

FAcup78 added 09:59 - Dec 9 Upthetown totally agree. I've spoken with some coaches who have now left the academy and they told me Gibbs is the best player they have ever worked with. Big praise as players like Dozzell, Lancaster and the two who we sold Knight (Man City) and Brown (Chelsea) were all coached by the coaches I've talked too. We need to keep hold of Gibbs but I'm guessing it will be difficult.

RACKOONA added 11:06 - Dec 9 Gibbs is a natural talent who has a tremendous attitude and continues to learn at the club. Hopefully ME and everyone at the club will get him on a deal ASAP and secure him for the future. Looking at how the youngsters are coming through he could well be in there next season and looking forward to him developing even more. Watch this lad over the next few years

Ericgates12 added 11:50 - Dec 9 Watched Liam Gibbs play a few times he's a top top player. Our academy should be proud of the talent they are producing. Well done BK and your coaches for all your hard work. Contracting Gibbs to the club long-term is a must especially with the state we are in at the moment. Hopefully we don't lose him like Knight and Brown but I fear we will be powerless.
