Gibbs is miles above Baines in BOTH aspects of the game (yeah you heard me), crossing only counts for so much, in the past 18 months Gibbs link up play and all round offensive game has improved. In fact I think he put in 1 or 2 decent crosses against City and/or Palace already this season though my mind is a bit funny, do remember a lot of comments about it though. He's also quicker and can actually use his pace to get by defenders, whereas Baines is only useful when he has space to take a touch and cross it in or approach the box.
Gibbs is criminally underrated both generally and at Arsenal, the progress he's made is ignored, perhaps mainly because his various injuries doesn't allow him to show how good he is consistently. He should be England's number 1 left back when fit.
I agree with Say yes on Rooney, the record books may show his quite decent and consistent scoring/assisting rates and his trophy cabinet.... however he definitely hasn't fulfilled his true potential. 2010 was his peak, over 30 goals and was virtually unplayable, at times that year he was the closest to Messi and Ronaldo. Perhaps the 2010 world cup, cheating on missus and the contract issues all within the space of a few months took its toll and he spent a long while trying to get back to a good level but never quite pushed on from his 2010 performances. Shame really.
