The Gabby Appreciation Thread - Update: 4 year deal

[Pete3206]

I'd like to see all of Villa's strikers thriving, regardless of how much they cost.

Gabby will always give his all for the Villa. I didn't think he was all that bad against Norwich. Had he stayed on he could have done more for us in keeping the ball and alleviating pressure. His hold up play is actually pretty good.

Most importantly there seem to be signs that he and Benteke will be a good partnership. They're starting to gel. I fancy Gabby to have a purple patch now, he's just looking more confident, fitter, of late. The more that we click under Lambert, the better our front men will become.

I'm more than happy with the Benteke and Gabby partnership. I think Gabby will hit double figures this season.

I agree, and I think Weimann deserves a shout too, because I gather that he worked his nuts off yesterday and created space for the other two.

We need 4 strikers . We need 4 good ones,  we have them .

 Teams would die for our strike force eg Liverpool .  Lets just try and use them all through the season and make it work , creating for them is the most important thing If Ireland can push on and Nzogbia can start providing there are plenty of goals in the team. Lets be happy we have them instead of these ' he cost nothing compared to  £18 million pound arguments' .

if Bent does go in January , I would prefer him banging the goals in and pushing up the fee .

[Pete3206]

Clappy thing.

[Percy McCarthy]

I'd prefer us winning games and being a good team.

At his current League scoring rate it will take him 280 games to reach that figure.

[Percy McCarthy]

Really? I thought he averaged about 1 in 4/5 games. Perhaps someone will look it up.

[Witton Warrior]

I just want each and every player in our shirt to be the best he can be, don't care who he is or where he's from.
When he is a Brummie Villa fan who stood on the Holte then I want him to have even more success - that doesn't mean that one day he may move on to strengthen the team however.

So does Heskey, doesn't mean he will still score at that rate.

[Percy McCarthy]

I couldn't care less where he's from or who he supported. All that matters to me is I think we're a better team with him in it.

As with the midfield, Lambert only has to check results against personell to see who the most effective partnership is.

With Gabby being more of an attacking midfielder now i am looking forward to seeing Bent and Benteke as the strikers. Those two continuing their goalscoring rate will have us moving up the table.

[Percy McCarthy]

Playing with Bent would IMO put the mockers on Benteke.

Possibly. It just seems a terrible waste to me that we have one of the premier leagues most prolific goalscorers and we can't play him.

His goal at Sunderland was his first in the League for 28 games. Pretty awful, and fairly typical of his inconsistancy.
