Just an FYI, the 'Gabby to Sunderland' articles start tomorrow.

Some twitter rumors regarding some stress in the Villa dressing room, with Bannan being the antagonist. Here we go..

Doesn't shock me. I posted on here in Jan that I met Bannan in Manchester. And he told me he was pissed off with his role and the set-up.

I was out with a mate who supports Small Heath last night (he does actually go to the games and is generally sensible) and he said something along the lines of "Our first season back in the Premier League, Joe Hart was our player of the season and in the second it was Ben Foster and from what I've seen and heard this season your best player has been Shay Given." And he's probably right and it's quite concerning.

My Dad saw the highlights of the Arsenal match last week, and heard McLeish's comments after, and rang me up shortly after, apoplectic with rage at McLeish's "everyone's fault except my own" attitude and his spinelessness. Nothing out of the ordinary there, except my Dad's a Blues fan, and it was really just an extension of the anger he felt with the same manager doing and saying the same things when he was in their job.

He finds it truly unbelievable he's our manager.

Can see there being a bit of truth in that . He's the one player in the mound of bobbins he left us, that MON actually rates. Rather see him leave on a free than sell him to pubehead, but no doubt our board will happily flog him,.

He said a few months ago, regarding the Tottenham rumors, that there's a reason other clubs don't even ask about him because they know he'd never leave. I don't think someone even as ridiculous as Lerner would ever sell one of our assets to MON at the point. Who knows though.. he did give away Ashley, and dxwning, and Barry, and Milner, and soon to be Carlos and Charles. Can't wait..

I think Gabby would leave under the right circumstances, we're kidding ourselves if we believe that stuff about him never, ever playing for anyone else. It just doesn't work like that any more.

I'd be truly amazed if he felt his best option was to join Sunderland, though.

In fact, if he was prepared to join them, it'd really be a sign that he's not going to be as good as we all hoped he would be.

Depends how much cash they splash in the summer. This is MON we're talking about here - he didn't go there to make up the numbers, so i'm guessing he's been promised some pretty heavy spending..

In the mirror today that he wants Dunne and Gabby. 15 million for the pair and I would sell.

He'll be looking for big transfer funds or he's likely to go off on one.

The board won't want to upset the fans after their resurgance, so they'll have to suck the Manbaby's dick.

The odious little creep is likely to walk out at any point if he's not mollycoddled.

You should seek help Fletch, its becoming an obsession

It sticks in my craw the way he dropped us in the shit, I'll take any opportunity to slate him.

You might say i'm an atheist.

I'd sell Dunne in a flash wrong side of 30 past his best and out of contract next summer.

I don't have a problem with selling players as such, but you know that at best, any cash received is going to go on substandard replacements, with the majority of the money going towards the enormous black hole in the accounts.
