I doubt anyone bigger has. If he reaches 100 prem goals this contract we will have done well from it.

I'm not in the habit of giving players a benchmark of how much they 'owe' the club, but if Agbonlahor sees out his Villa days with a hundred goals scored for us, I'd say he'd given exceptional value. He's on sixty eight, so four seasons where he scores ten goals apiece would be extremely valuable.

Anyone got the time to guess what he has pocketed in wages during that period?
...and including the new contract?

I suspect he will look amazing value by comparison to most players we've had.

Gabby's the man.

Anybody with a basic grasp of arithmetic will note that forty goals will take Agbonlahor beyond the 100 goals marker discussed. Luckily, my job involves Excel doing sums for me.

Agbonlahor's agent, Tim Webb, commented: "Gabby could have utilised his Bosman status at the end of the season but he never considered that.

"Everyone knows his feeling for the club and he was keen to sign his new contract, demonstrating his loyalty, as has always been the case even when other clubs have come in for him."

First time I've ever seen that agent's name, in fairness I didn't have a clue who represented Gabby...and still don't!

Being Gabby's agent must be one of the easiest jobs in football.

It would mean having to explain everything to him.

I'd say quite the opposite.

Shall I put out a story you're not happy?

Nah.

Do you want to let your contract run out and go on a Bosman?

Nah.

You want to stay here then?

Gabby takes a lot of unfair shit on here. People forget he stuck around when all the other mavericks sniffed money elsewhere, Gareth, James, Stewart, Ashley, I'm looking at you.

You can look just don't touch!!

Not as much as the first two options.

I don't think he'd get much more elsewhere, he'd hardly be in demand.

Personally, I'd have let him go, but so long as we're not paying him stupid money, am not too worried about him staying.

I just want us to sort Delph and Vlaar out as quickly as we can.

Same feelings Paulie. If he went he would be on a lower wage at a newly promoted side or a lower mid table, which is our level right now I guess.
