Gibson doesn't need to do anything to be ahead of Anderson if Anderson plays shit, then responds to playing shit by skipping training/fecking off to Brazil.
Gibson is on the bench as a result of Anderson slipping down the pecking order, rather than him forcing his way up it. But hey, that's football. If any footballer takes the piss he loses his place in the squad, no matter how naturally talented he is. That's how you build a succesful team, as opposed to a collection of pampered twats, who think they don't need to graft to earn their right to play.
Oh aye, I agree that Anderson had to be dealt with but I'm just saying it's been going on far too long. Cantona's kick and Rio drug scandal were much more serious issues yet Fergie supported them, rightly so IMO. So why has he hung Anderson out to dry for a month, just for missing training?
