Interesting start to the trade period hey guys?
I'm not here to pretend that I'm a list manager or a guru and I understand that people with differing versions of reality post on all forums. The suggestions of a trade involving Mackay I could almost guarantee would be of next to no interest to SOS. He'll turn 29 during next season and is completely the wrong fit for us as a club. We are on record saying as such for players of his age. I think that should be put to bed pretty quickly in your discussions.
Given Gibbs' contract, I think 13 is an absolute minimum starting point as has been reported; I like many of you have no idea what will be added to it to make the deal go ahead but am looking forward to seeing how it pans out.
Gibbs is perfect for you guys and I think he will flourish if a trade can be arranged, we're sad to see him go even though the perception is that it can seriously help our rebuild. But that's where the key lies, if the trade for him doesn't enhance our rebuild, I think the club and supporters would welcome Bryce back into the fold.
If it does go ahead, I think you will enjoy watching Gibbs in your colours. He's a great fit and a sublime player at his best.
