The prospect of four more years of mediocrity from him in a Villa shirt is very underwhelming. I don't care that he's a Villa fan and all that he doesn't warrant a regular start, how many other top flight teams would he get into? He's fast and that's it.

he isnt good enough

if he is in the first team every game for next few seasons, expect 14th to 17th every season

If we replace with better and that include weiman then we might move up the table .

He wouldnt get in any of the teams in the top ten .  sub at best

the only team who might play him above us is west ham

Impact player at best - 4 year deal is a joke - just shows how badly run the club is .

It's not like we need to tie him to the club - has anybody ever mad a bid for him ? Nope - thought not.

The wages he will be asking for should be spent elsewhere.

I remember Arsenal were supposed to be interested but i don't know if a bid was ever made. Apart from that i don't remember any interest.

I would guess had Martin O Neill expected any other response than "fuck off" from the club, he may have tried to get Gabby at Sunderland. I recall a couple of brief rumours around the time Gabby found himself out of favour with Houllier, but can't remember which clubs. But it was probably typical clubcall nonsense.

That said he's still got a part to play here and something to offer.

Weimann on the other hand I'm more worried about. Gabby might only have blistering pace in his locker but that's one strength more than Weimann has. Aside from 2-3 games this season, Andi has looked out of his league.

Another £10m+ on Gabby? No thank you.

Weimann has really disappointed me this season. Looked off the pace which considering how decent he looked last season is a surprise. The one hope is he is still only 22, so hopefully he is just having (a massive) dip in form.

His performance today said more than any words I could've penned. That is the Gabby that I see about 70% of the time.

He puts in performances when we really need it. Big games, Local derbies. Never run of the mill games. Another one taking it easy on the easy street that is Villa at the moment. Needs a rocket up his arse.

4 years more of his blistering pace but hardly any end product.

A bit of a myth that. For every 'big' game he performs in, there is another one where he fails to show.

I'm clutching at straws but turning Gabby into an impact player from the bench might get more out of him.
We of course need to sign quality attackers this summer to replace him in the starting 11. Ditto Weimann.

He spends way too much time on his arse, arms in the air, shouting hopefully at the ref for my liking. He's like Ashley Young without the ability.

A £50k per week impact sub?
