The Gabby Appreciation Thread - Update: 4 year deal

[N'ZMAV]

Can’t stand the bloke.

What a waster.

[eamonn]

O'Neill's comments about Villa at the end were interesting too. And the fact that he let Gabby and Carew di whatever they wanted socially cos he liked them and they would usually deliver the goods on the pitch.

FFS will we ever be rid of threads with the fat waster's name on them?

Say what you like  but Gabs is a broadcasting legend now. They are milking him dry on talksport and at the moment he's filling their buckets with cringingly  unsavoury stories about his days at Villa.

[KevinGage]

Can we move this to memories as well please.

Seconded.

[Cliftonville Villlain]

Not one ounce of remorse from him or Richards for the years of poison leading to the relegation.

Seconded.

if you go to the start of this thread and read the positive comments on him at that point it makes me quite sad , He  wasted the second part of his career really

[john e]

He's suffered through injury and being played out wide this campaign, but he'll be back next year with 12-14 goals.

And as a 12-14 goal striker who has a habit of scoring important goals, is this not the striker to play alongside Bent that everyone has just been scratching their heads about?

he's in his mid 20's and he's never scored 14 league goals in a single season yet.
 think he's got 3 in this injury ridden season

i dont see why every time he scores for Villa which isnt very often we all have to think he's fantastic when he clearly isnt,
 we bought Bent to score the goals the other strikers couldnt,

he has scored some important goals over the last 5 years, great, he's a local lad great, but he hasnt developed into the top class striker many people thought he would be,
he will be around for a few years yet, as there is no bigger team than Villa will come in to buy him,
but for me we need someone with a bit more skill, ball control and awarness to go alongside Bent, then we might have a really dangerous forward line to compete at a higher levelin the league

I think this summation from back in 2011 is spot on
From a poster that obviously knows what he’s talking about 😊

One of the few topics we agreed to disagree on pal. I think, in hindsight, I concede the point to you.

Ads is consistent in always looking on the bright side of Villa-life so there'll be no happy-clapper shaming here.

Yes I think Center Backs might be the other one
I won’t mind in 10 years time conceding the point to you on that one

I know folk want Gabby threads dead, but just recently interesting stuff about his time at Villa are coming up in his Talksport appearances. Worth checking this out, talking about Roy Keane's time at the Villa...

That's on the thread in the Villa History section mate. One of many when he seems to delight in how unprofessional he was back then. The fat twat.

[eamonn]

Oh, soz. Will stop bumping this thread then
