Good pedigree. 7 years at Newcastle and 2 at Everton.in youth career. England youth International, most recent in 2019 in under 20's, 4 appearances. 3 recent loan spells. Look forward to seeing him in the Quarters. Cost Everton £6mil when he moved from Newcastle. That is the figure being shared on social media. I have a question. What is the highest fee ever paid for a player before joining Rovers ?. I assume it would be a player in the last 10 years . Is someone like Whelen up there ? . Answer's please !. ( p.s not what we paid cause that's Tilson but another club before joining us ). |

I really like the sound of Gibson. For a young chap, he has a good amount of league experience including in the Championship and a Fleetwood side that had a cracking season in L1 under a certain Mr Barton, and you would think that being part of some very successful England youth set ups and some very good Premier League academies will give him a great grounding. Plus, I think this would be a more realistic permanent signing longer term depending on when his contract expires as if he is on loan at a L1 club at the age of 22, I don't feel he will be making it at Everton unfortunately for him.
Welcome to the Gas Lewis and I am looking forward to seeing you stick a certain snake in your pocket tomorrow.

No Whelan cost Stoke £500k and sold him to Villa for £1million. |

I think Gibson at £6m would be highest if it is true. The highest fee paid for Whelan according to Wikipedia (yes, I know...) was £1m when he went from Stoke to Villa. Players like Riordan, Lawrence and Leon Clarke all moved around for 6 figure fees before joining us but I can't think of any others who had previously gone for over £1m. |

I reckon you could be right ! Unless a short loan happened or an experienced player joined. This could be the highest fee paid for a player who joined us . |

You have to commend the hard work Joey and the club must be doing in the market. This transfer came completely out of the blue, no reports or leaks or anything. Every single EFL transfer seems to get reported days before now, this is the first time in ages I've come across an actual 'shock' signing! Similar to the Lewis Gordon signing really, excluding the Admins mess up.

Another high risk signing. Likes a gamble our joe.
Wednesday fans saying he’s quality but always injured. Played 5 games for them last season!!! Let’s hope the gamble pays off

The one thing I would say though is Everton have extended his contract, so they must be at least hopeful that he can get over those injuries. I think I'd be more concerned if he was on a permanent. On a side note, his old brother Liam plays for Morecambe. So yet another player who will come up against his brother this season. Feels like we've had several of these in recent years. |

From Their forum The main jist of owls fans are as follows….
Played five games for us last season across a season long loan, FIVE.
Don't know how many times it needs saying, but we don't need injury prone player
Came here looking for the "Could he do a job for us"
As others have said, potentially a decent player in there, but not available enough.
If it had worked out better last season, maybe, but as it stands no thank you. Wish him luck though
He’s a high-risk signing. Might work for Bristol, might not… not a risk I’d have wanted us to take, although we are crying out for an orthodox left sided defender if Famewo is going to be out for a while
None On their deny he wasn’t a good player when fit though so let’s hope this one works out. 🙏🙏

Mark Walters is the only one I can think of that was probably around the £3M mark if that. The closest would be Joey himself when he left Man City for Newcastle I think that was about £6M |

A bit of a risk given his recent injury record but if he stays fit he should be a decent signing.
Reading the comments from Sheff Wed fans above, it sounds like he's a left sided defender, so Connolly might switch to the right.

Joey has nailed every CB loan to date... and this guy has the best CV of the lot.
So I'm excited to see how this one works out. Also nice there's clearly potential to make it permanent at the end of the season if goes well.
Fingers crossed he can stay fit. We need him to at this point!

What sort of fees were Mick Cannon and Alan Ball traded for before joining the gas?

Looks like another who will be troubling the physio more than the opposition.
