New Four Year Deal for Gabby

[Matt C]

On NBC they had Chris Waddle co-commentating today (who got the boot in at every available opportunity). He said Gabby looked overweight.

The irony of this coming from Waddle wasn't lost on me but I do wonder if in building his upper body strength if he's lost a bit of his mobility.

That's Gabby, not Waddle.

And some people thought Houllier did not know what he was doing.  Gabby built himself up to be MON's lone striker.  He did lose some of it and was able to carry it a year or two ago but it is killing his stamina now.

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.

Weimann is turning into a right whiny moaner

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.

this    his finishing has just gone meh .  he needs to sort that out for a start

He had one scuffed shot yesterday that barely reached De Gea it was so tame. It summed him up this season.

Gabby and Andi no new contracts move them on as they are both not good enough, even for the level we are at now.

And then whinged at the ref he was fouled because a defender brushed past him. He's gone backwards this year and no longer merits a place in the starting line-up. Who comes in for him though? Helenius is the invisible man and Bowery (stop laughing) has gone on loan.

Andi had his new contract last summer. To think at one stage it looked like he might have moved elsewhere because we took a while to reach agreement with him. Essentially he signed which means he more than likely got what he wanted, which more than likely means more money.
He's certainly not proved anything like good value. He'll be on a fair wage I'd imagine too. At least 20k.

[Jim Shoes]

4 years? Have the powers that be still not learnt?

4 years at 10k per week yes but any more and he's not worth it, 2 years at most.

[PaulWinch again]

As much as I don't think he contributes anywhere near consistently enough, he is one of our very few proven top level players. When he performs he's a threat against anyone and I don't think we can afford to lose that.

which is ok from the bench

Does anyone have the stats as to how much work Gabby and Andi did compared to, say, Rooney or Mata?

£30k reportedly.

I'm not even sure Rooney had to even break sweat on saturday. We made it incredibly easy for him.

Yeah, I thought it was closer to that number, I was being quite generous with the 20k figure. Still, it's premier league wages for a player who's not really Premiership quality IMO.
