I disagree. The problem with his still intermittent appearances haven't given us a consistent level of performance club wise as say Baines has. I'll concede that when we've seen Gibbs in an England shirt he is on a par with the competition. But he is by no means the obvious choice based on all factors, for me. I like him - but I need to see Gibbs fulfill his potential to become a permanent fixture for us. Which means staying fit - like Sagna for example.
