Look, you can forgive someone for a lack of a ability, but you can't forgive your club captain for downing tools during a relegation battle. I'm normally happy to give people a second chance but we are talking about a whole season here (some would say a few seasons). He is he epitome of what went wrong last season, when the players see that the team captain and club captain don't care what hope have you got? I don't forgive him...but ultimately he is an 'asset' and we are paying him. So we have to find a way to make use of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am bothered about the perception, rightly or wrongly, that he has been a problem in the dressing room under various managers. Yep. Ever since MON there has been rumours about Gabby being disruptive, by all accounts GH wanted rid. I try not to pay to much attention to these sort of things, but his attitude last season seems to strengthen that train of thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the championship is a much weaker league than the PL, you still need more to your game than being able to run fast in a straight line.

Fingers crossed. They might get a bit suspicious when we don't ask for a transfer fee, and offer to pay for his flight! we could also add in top Aston Villa scorer in Premier League era actually that league took Moore, Reo Coker and Ridgewell in recent seasons they might be wary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garreth Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Is it just me or did anybody else find gabby more entertaining gone off the rails than they have ever had seen him in a Villa jersey!! How disappointing he's no club captain thank God club flop should be more adequate!! I can safely say that he can promise to give 100% all he wants we know that it's all bullshit I'm in full favour of just paying him off the remainder of his contract and let some other team be the sucker giving him a contract a team like Leeds or owls there the kind of idiots that would snap up this absolute loser rant over!!!

dn1982 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Gabby didn't down tools he was dropped as he wasn't doing much but he's been like that for a few years. He isn't a centre forward anymore but he can still do a job for us in the FL. I can't see him being bought so we have to utilise him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons he was dropped was because he became fat and unfit, due to not giving a toss. Ergo, he downed tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Did anyone else, when watching him on the treadmill, imagine that there was a picture of a Big Mac on the mirror in front of him? I did, and it made me smile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Pay him off please could not care less what this clown says, was one of the major problems of last season. Sadly this talk makes it sound like no one is stupid enough to take him off our hands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obanken Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I have the feeling that this is the first time in his career that he is seriously working out, except his bodybuilding period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sticking up for Gabby but a PL footballer getting fat says a lot about the state of the club. If you're paying someone that much money they eat what you say and train when you want. They should be the perfect specimen of a footballer physically hopefully now with have a proper fitness coach and strict management team this all sorts itself out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 He will be complete poison even if we don't play him. If no buyers have been found upon closure of the window, then the club must bite the bullet and pay off the remainder of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I'd sell if the chance arises, but at the same time I wouldn't be massively surprised if he ended up being our top goalscorer next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
