Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has been told by manager Gerard Houllier to lay off lifting weights. The 24-year-old was told by previous boss Martin O'Neill to bulk up but Houllier says: "Sometimes players do too much. He's not in the gym now. The fact is, I think he should stop, he's too stocky."

Recently Gabby has looked like he could put up a better showing in the ring than Audley Harrison
-
I think wee Bannan would've put up a better showing than Fraudly.
-
Good.
-
Fair enough, but does this need to be announced publicly? Houllier seems to have a little dig at a different player each week.
-
Vidic couldn't get around him because he's so strong. Can't see it being a bad thing. He's still fast.
-
He's fast & fat, he's fast & faaaaaaattttt

I don't think he's having a dig at all, Just telling him to lay off the weights, Simple really
-
Gabby needs to stand next to Dunne a bit more, he'll look like Jarvis Cocker then.
-
It might be the answer as Agbonlahor haven't deliver the good this season despite being out with injuries. It might help to cut down injuries.
-
Delivered tge goods??? He hasn't played one game fully fit yet. He was superb against Man U.
I think We should put Bannan on a weights program.

Aye.
A cotton bud with a Mintoe on each end.

I can think of a fair few Spanish players who aren't that big. It doesn't seem to affect them too much ;) I think Wee Barry Bannnan is doing just grand

A rare, but genuine lol

Most Olympic sprinters are very muscular so I dont see it being that big a deal.
But they'll know best at Bodymoor how his training is affecting him.
He needs pace and strength. He has them in abundance.
-
Perhaps he want to be new Jonah Tali Lomu for Aston Villa.

Gabby needs to e able to turn though, sprinters do not.
-
I think it's a good thing. Can't think of many top class footballers who are his size in the upper body. Seems logical that there is a point where the trade off between power and movement is too great like in any sport. Think of Calzaghe giving Jeff Lacey a hiding.
-
Have you seen the size of Michael Richards this season, he was too big last season and seems to have put on another stone.
-
Muscle ways heavier than fat so maybe he could lose a bit.

True enough.
I dont think he's anywhere near big enough to lose that much agility though.
Not weighed against the benefits from overpowering defenders and holding the ball up.
I dont want him to get any bigger (and neither does his manager) but in these days of a single striker you need to be an all rounder to be really effective.

what has he recomended for Richard Dunne, start holding his pint in his left hand?

To lay off the pie and chips I hope too

richard dunne is starting to resemble jan molby....with less talent

So 1lb of muscle weighs more than 1lb of fat? Could be a Nobel Prize in it for you if you can prove that one :)
