He could have buggered off five years before he did, and he'd still be our record Premier League signing and the memory of him would be a lot less tarnished.

Why he got a new 3 year contract when he was obviously past it I'll never know. Paul lambert got one at about the same time which was equally silly.

That was a huge mistake. Think we started that season ok and the board made some desperate decisions as a result.

Gabby had a burst of form on the left wing in 12/13 and start of 13/14 where he was outstanding and was called into the England setup (if I recall rightly he didn't bother showing up). After that he stole a living at the clubs expense until his retirement.

i think he liked playing off a big man, all his good performances were alongside Carew or Benteke.

In his younger days he led the line brilliantly at times by himself, Arsenal and Man United away, cup final again v Man United come to mind. Never got the required consistent goal return though. Even at his best his footballing ability was quite limited though but his pace was frightening. Why he decided to bulk up to an extreme amount, against MONs wishes, is anyone's guess.

He looked really good at the very start coming inside off the wing, with him and Luke Moore either side of Angel.

Admittedly, only lasted about six weeks.

that trio looked great for a while and was more like the shape we want to be playing now with 2 strikers playing either side of someone playing as a 10/false 9.

It’s funny he scored against the great unwashed so often. But largely forgettable. And large at the end.

He is going to have a hell of a problem living that down.

How’s Chicago? Is the globe trying to show the games? Nyc is a bit of mess right now. As for the football peacock won’t stream via Roku or amazon fire which is a pain (previously nbc gold was a steal at $50 a year but they’ve now got into an argument with amazon and roku on royalties).

Nice. I wonder if the models were deliberately told to mimic the same brooding but gormless pout that Gabby perfected.

I've just posted this on the Leeds thread: ' If he keeps going like this I might just change my mind'.

Why's it called 6 figures? A tribute to his Villa salary for bankrolling it? The number of minutes between scoring in his last 3 seasons?

I've just put SSN on and notice from the strap across the bottom that Gabby will be in the studio this afternoon on the transfer fest.  I hope he shoves it up 'em.
