Did Agbonlahor sign a new contract?

I know he's a Villa fan and all that but he's an impact sub at best.

I'd only give him a contract if he signed one on reduced terms, or pay as you play, he just isn't good enough to warren £50k a week

he's hardly going to sign pay as you play. You give those to players who are practically dead looking for a gig somewhere.

you mean like Joe Cole?

Your right, we should hare on the side of caution here.

He might if the condition of the 'pay if you play' clause maintains his current £50k a week (say £25k if not playing) versus the alternative offer of a flat £30k/week (or something like that).

He's an established PL footballer and is only 27 years old. He's going to get paid somewhere. I don't know what he's on but he's going to want to maintain his salary or at least as much as possible in the next deal. It's only natural. It might be structured with a greater emphasis on incentives but he's not going to accept a £25k a week drop. If he's on £50k, he might drop to £40k with the rest in bonus if it guarantees some long term security. But he's not going to accept not being paid because he wasn't picked that week.

He'd be worth it if he beavered away..

I think we're largely arguing the same thing TV.  The possible difference being that I cannot see Villa offering to match his current/reported £50k a week flat salary.  Therefore he either either accepts an incentivised contract (as you described) or he leaves for nothing next year where I'd imagine he'd get the £50k pretty easily.  The decision is largely up to Villa, not Gabby, and my guess is we cannot currently afford to make such an offer, especially with Delph and Vlaar arguably being more deserving of a pay-rise.

I'm not a fan of his but I demand we sell him now for his hand in starting another pun-a-thon.

I hope he's not on anywhere near £50 k a week.
