Although I think its worth trying to find the ideal partner for him (which might be Delfouneso soon enough) I think Gabby works best with wingers.
Quote from: "Bren_d"Quote from: "peter w"MON wanted to go to Liverpool, Milner probably for the off, a disjointed looking midfield last season, and seemingly not able to get marquee players in to get bums on seats, and the team to play well consistently.This is an undisputed fact now is it?Yes. he told me. phoned me last night.

Quote from: "Mazrim"Although I think its worth trying to find the ideal partner for him (which might be Delfouneso soon enough) I think Gabby works best with wingers.As with the instinct versus time argument, I think he's best with wingers when breaking forward as opposed to a more patient build up. We get the best out of our best striker while playing counter attacking football, yet when we do just that people call the manager tactically inept. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Quote from: "east19"Gabby is not worth anywhere near £20m- he needs to improve his finishing vastly to be in that class, he has potential though and is improving yearly .Ash is a quality player on his day and he and milner could be England regulars also for many years.I'd say milner is ahead of them at the moment but a good year could really see ash and gabby push on this season at club and international level.If Gabby was to leave this summer then we'd easily get £20m for him.

on a 10-12 goal a season striker who contributes relatively little else to the team.
There's no way of proving that one way or the other unless we actually sell him. Personally I'd be surprised if anyone, with the possible exception of Cash City, would fork out 20m on a 10-12 goal a season striker who contributes relatively little else to the team.

Well, apart from contributing little else to the team, he contributes hugely and is one of our most missed player when not in the team. So yeah, apart from him scoring 16 goals last season and offering a lot more besides, spot on.
