Transfer Speculation / Gossip

Gabby has a good third of the season then goes missing for the rest.Love the guy to bits but it isn't good enough.

He's still the best we've got though. And even if we did sell him would you trust the club to replace him with a better player?

Who said anything about selling him?

Anyway, back to Sanchez - will this happen today?

He is not the best we've got! Are you saying Benteke is a lesser player?

That terrible new Sky Sports Channel have said the medical won't be until Sunday.

At Anfield, if people don't remember the problems Gabby caused their [EDIT: defence].

The game turned when he got injured.

Re Gabby: as has been said many times, if houllier had been here longer and gabby had listened to him instead of being the big-I-am he would have added some dimensions to his game rather than carrying on as a one trick pony.

At Anfield, if people don't remember the problems Gabby caused their left back in that game...............................(started this and then realised it was Cissokho! – doh)

Maybe it was Cissokho that made Gabby look so good  – actually, maybe it was the right back he terrorised!

The game turned when he got injured.

Watched some of the highlights – it was Toure he humiliated for pace for his two assists in that game. Nothing to do with Cissokho!

The problem with Gabby is not that he can't do it or never does it anymore.

It is that he doesn't do it anything like enough.

How many times have we seen him 'do it' over the last few years?

I genuinely think he is in his comfort zone, coasting, and a move would be good for him and maybe for us, too. It certainly would if he's on big money now - and given the fact MON loved him, I suspect he will be  - and expects a new contract paying similar.

It's all well and good pointing to one game in 38 where he is effective, it's when his ineffective games far outweigh the ones in which he does well that there's a problem, and I don't think anyone can argue that this hasn't been the case for a few seasons now.

Edit: paulie got in there before me.

Apologies for the self-quote, but reports from Spain on Twitter have said he's in Birmingham for a medical today. WM have it that Sanchez has refused to train in order to force a move. So he's either here, or in Spain, or in between, and he's either having a medical, or isn't. FML.

I hope he's not still sat in the bar at the Malmaison

Hopefully we haven't run out of fax toner.

Exactly this, he had 2 phenomenal performances last year, the liverpool away as mentioned and in the opening day win over Arsenal where he was totally unplayable.  In the past he's had 7-8 games of that quality every year, last season and under McLeish he had 1-2 and in lamberts first season he had 4-5 in a row but that was largely when Benteke was playing at such a high level that he dragged the whole team up with him.
