IT WAS A disappointing deadline day for Ireland international Darron Gibson, as a loan move failed to materialise.
Everton coach Roberto Martinez previously indicated Gibson would be made available for a loan move, but a report in The Liverpool Echo today suggested the former Man United midfielder is now set to stay at the Toffees until the end of the season at least.
Gibson faces stiff competition for a midfield spot, as he vies for a starting spot with James McCarthy, Gareth Barry, Tom Cleverley and Muhamed Beลกiฤ, though a recent injury to the latter may have forced Everton to reconsider offloading the Derry native.
Should he continue to struggle for first-team football, the 28-year-old midfielderโs Euro 2016 hopes may be in jeopardy.
Meanwhile, Gibsonโs teammate Aiden McGeady sealed a loan move to Championship side Sheffield Wednesday earlier, having made just one appearance for Everton so far this season.
In other Irish football news, ex-UCD midfielder Gary Dicker left League Two team Carlisle to sign for Scottish Premiership strugglers Kilmarnock.
Pat Hoban, another ex-League of Ireland player joined Stevenage from Oxford, while Ireland underage international Connor Dimaio signed for Chesterfield, having been released by Sheffield United last season.
In other League of Ireland-related news, League One outfit Swindon Town reportedly had a bid rejected for St Patโs defender Sean Hoare.
Finally, Irish-born defender Shane OโNeill โ who is a USA underage international โ joined Cambridge United on loan from Cypriot side Apollon Limassol.
Shouldnโt be making the euros squad at this rate. Harry Arter must surely be ahead of him now.
How does a guy not getting first team football at a PL club fail to go on loan. Itโs laughable really
I guess nobody wanted him. Sheffield Wednesday is probably not the best of what was available to McGeady either. Supposedly pl clubs were interested.
No point in rushing to a club on deadline day scramble. The Championship loan window opens next week, can have a good look at what clubs are interested and weigh up where he will get game time. Blackburn were interested but couldnโt make a move as Jordan Rhodes deal went through so late.
Darron Gibson will be playing in the Irish League in a couple of years.
He was despertely unlucky with an injury that kept him out for most of last season. Up until that he was an Everton regular playing some of hus best football. Shame he didnโt get the loan move, he needs a lot of luck to make the Irish squad now.
Not up to PL level โ not quick enough & he lacks technical ability & has no creativity. Heโs got a good shot on him & thatโs about it.
heโs a fool, good news for Ireland fans, Arter is a much better option than him, Championship players should easily be ahead of him too
