List Mgmt. Gibbs - 2017 trade discussions! (Gibbs swapped for Wigg or 2nd)

[hippyhippy]

1. Get rid of serviceable midfielder for peanuts
2. Don't replace him
3. ???
4. Premiership

3. Recruit superstar.

 

[Brentmeister]

The only disappointment to come out of this is losing Lyons for 43 which is well unders. Selling the farm for Gibbs was never going to happen.

We now go to the draft and we pick up way better players than Carlton would've picked anyway. Lol

 

[Sam_Malone]

I'm going to repeat myself, but the Marchbank deal is still yet to be processed as well and SOS guaranteed that would happen, this isn't over yet

Let it go. It's over

 

[Ramify]

Let's not jump on the Victorian spin

Too from day one said we would not sell the farm to get him

Carlton obviously demanded more than what we were willing to pay

Let's wait for all the information before we pass judgement

So you move on and get something else done. This is an absolute farce.

 

[DangerSloane]

Might not make the finals. Our midfield is worse than this year, many others will be better

How the hell do you come to that conclusion.
Our midfield are all under 26? They will be better than last season for sure.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Our midfield is going to get slaughtered next season

 

[betterthanu]

Im fine on not blinking on the Gibbs deal but now seems very strange that we traded Lyons for bugger all

 

[SydCrow]

Noble would've got it done

 

[Smoooothy]

vocal minority out in force today

some sandy sandy vaginas in play

 

[6BTS]

Screw both Carlton and Adelaide over this crap. If the deal can't be done, don't wait till after the deadline to let everyone know. This can be told to everyone BEFORE the deadline. What nonsense.

 

[dogs105]

Both sides should be happy, we obviously valued Gibbs at a higher value than Adelaide did. I'm glad that a player wasn't able to get out of their 5 year contract early, sure the club will work through things with Gibbs and his family.

I hope so - that's really the most important thing here.

 

[mick500]

Hahaha ****ing crows aye. We have an A grade player begging to come to us and we can't work something out in 2 weeks. ****ing useless. **** you crows, **** you carlton, **** you afl.

Enjoy this Carlton supporters.. time to cheer myself up..

 

[Infra Ted]

hallelujah!

Rejoice.

 

[threefa9]

so lost Lyons and didnt get Gibbs, EPIC F*** UP

 

[beartoo]

So Gibbs spends a decade playing at Carltank in a bottom side. His circumstances change and he asks to be traded back to his home state. Carlton then make demands that the club he wants to be traded to won't meet because they consider them unreasonable. Carlton hang onto Gibbs.
Sure know how to reward loyalty and dedication. If I were Gibbs, I'd sit out next year and join the crows in '18 for nought and screw hardman SOS.

He'll be laughing when we're playing finals and he's fighting to avoid a wooden spoon.

how many? one? two if we're lucky?

 

[AndrewJo]

He'll be laughing when we're playing finals and he's fighting to avoid a wooden spoon.

and he is getting twice what the Crows offered him.....Crows disaster but not the end. I was happy to trust our development but with Lyons.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

10 days of trade week and we lose Lyons.

**** off Adelaide.

 

[Gets!]

Absolute prick move here by SOS. Absolutely disgusting! Carlton fans should be ashamed.

 

[little graham]

 

[Jarman3]

Noble would've got it done

We don't WANT it done at the price Noble would have been willing to pay.

 

[JP Sauce]

******* wait people, even the Marchbank deal hasn't gone through yet, Keane's tweet clearly setting up that this is going beyond the deadline

A couple of minutes later:

Reporting coming out now the Gibbs deal didn't get done, Reid should be sacked if he was peddling over minor details

 

[Iron]

The problem, and it's really very easy to understand, isn't that we didn't get Gibbs. It's that we didn't get anything.

We got ****ing nothing. Except a weak deal for one of our mids. The one area we needed to improve desperately.

There isn't an excuse.

 

[Coopers]

I can handle not getting Gibbs, but not to get anyone else is a joke. Piss poor from AFC

This x10.

FFS AFC. No Gibbs is fine.

No other plans or action? FFS.
