Gibbs can make finals party - Parlour

16 November 2009 06:36
As an old Gunners favourite, Parlour has kept a close eye on Gibbs' development.[LNB]He was also in Doha on Saturday working for team sponsors Nationwide to see England's second string struggle to make any kind of impact against Brazil.[LNB]And, while he concedes Ashley Cole should remain Capello's first-choice left-back when fit, Parlour feels Gibbs warrants a close inspection.[LNB]"He has the talent," he said.[LNB]"I have watched him loads of times. He has great pace. He can tackle and he gets forward well.[LNB]"If he gets a run of games now for Arsenal and does well, I am sure Capello will look at him.[LNB]"Someone always comes from nowhere. It was Theo Walcott last time. I have a feeling Kieran will be the one this season."[LNB]Gibbs' first problem was always going to be getting an extended run in the Arsenal side.[LNB]That issue has been resolved because regular left-back Gael Clichy has been ruled out of action for at least two months due to a stress fracture in his back.[LNB]And, while Arsenal might struggle to maintain their excellent early-season form now Robin van Persie is also out for an extended period, Gibbs is still coming into a side that will allow him free reign to exhibit his talents.[LNB]"Kieran made that horrendous mistake against Manchester United last season but he has come back stronger from it," said Parlour.[LNB]"Sometimes you need to make mistakes to be a better player.[LNB]"Everybody makes them, it is how you respond. He has come back from that and shown he is a quality player.[LNB]"If Arsene Wenger rates him highly, I am sure Fabio Capello will think he is worth a look."[LNB][LNB]
