If hes going anyway then why not get a player like Gibbs who they could use while they are in the premiership window? I'd rather we get a player of Gibbs calibre now than have a pick at a player who might not turn out half as good. Too much value placed on picks sometimes
Doubt the crows will chase him too hard or pay overs. At the end of last season their midfield looked shaky but with the Crouch bros stepping up, the emergence of Greenwood and an in form Douglas, the midfield actually looks decent now. Having said all that, adding Gibbs would strengthen any team...
