Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Rigadon]

Can't see an 'other club's transfers' bit so I'll rant here.  Can people please stop referring to Everton as skint now?  Just noticed  they've found £28m for Lukaku!  WTF?

Chamakh is about as good as his hairstyle.  Dreadful.

When I see him play, I keep expecting some envoiromental types to get him in a net and clean his hair up with toothbrushes and fairy liquid...oh and he's is shit. Probably his agent trying get him a move.

Gabby managed 3 league goals in 2010/11 with both Downing and Young in the team. There is more to Gabby's decline than just that.

About halfway through last season there were plenty on here thinking Gabby was having his best season for ages and that he deserved an England recall. It was mid-january when he took Liverpool apart at Anfield. He went off injured at half-time in that game, when they came back from 2-0 down. The season before we really missed him when he was injured too.

As always with Villa fans and their pathological need to moan and bitch, it is the most recent of memories – Gabby's performances at the end of the season (when we were missing Benteke and the team's form suffered) – which seem to define everything people say about him.

I'm not on here enough to know whether this is true, but i will be astonished if 'plenty' of people stated that.

There has always been a lobby of people who think Gabby should be a starter for England on here, been the same for years

Gabby always seems have half a good season. Last season it was the first half, season before it was the 2nd half.

Agbonlahor does his best as most (if not all) footballers do. He has limited talent which was always obvious. However he will be well thought of when he departs Villa Park. But in our current situation I doubt it will be this season. It will be when his contract ends.

You obviously take pride in holding an opposing view against overwhelming opinion pointing the other way but this post is extreme behind belief. Gabby has been the problem rather than a solution for many years now. I really don't know where this took Liverpool apart at Anfield comes from but it's your way of throwing the spanner in and that's fine. Don't remember the clamour for England selection from plenty as you say. Villa fans are no more moaners than another set of fans and certainly not pathological. You really ought to have a bit more respect for people on here and our fans in general.

He did have a great game at Liverpool, that much is certainly true. I think we'd have won had he stayed on.

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.
