Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[pauliewalnuts]

I agree that Gabby is definitely an underachiever.
His poor finishing and goal tally are pretty grim.
But, I hope we keep him around the place, he is villa through and through.
He used to watch from the terraces as we all do.
There will always be a place for the Ian Taylor's, Lee Hendries and Gabbys of this world at VP.

I agree. Just not on the pitch.

I love the talk of how he's been so loyal, too. When was this loyalty tested, do we think? And by whom?

I have nothing against him as a person, I'm sure he's a lovely bloke and what not, but I just can't believe how many excuses get made for him because he's a brummie (and that old 'he used to stand on the Holte' thing isn't even true, as he said himself on Football Focus a while back, he didn't go to the matches).

I qualify to be starting on Saturday based on most of that!

Yeah great idea let's only recruit players from the terraces regardless of ability.  Guaranteed loyal one club men, mainly because no-one else would want them.  I can't imagine why no-one has thought of it before.

I'd question whether Gabby is an under achiever.   I think he has somewhat overachieved by staying in the PL for so long given his ability levels.  Those scoring records for the last 5 years really are quite damning, I hadn't realised they were so poor.

Good stuff, see how he gets on in the Championship.

I would rather Gabby was sent to Bristol City on loan for the year.

Yep, happy with this, good club and they seem to play decent football, I hope he does really well there, I think he can become a very good player if he keeps developing.

We used to be their closest Topflight football years ago - that's possibly why

Yes, very true, also why we have a lot of support in the SW generally - I used to knock around Torquay, Dartmouth, Newton Abbott and the like back in the 90s with my Villa shirt on - the old Mita white/black/blue away shirt comes to mind particularly for some reason, probably because it is still hanging in my wardrobe - and I'd always get loads of locals and holidaymakers coming up to me to chat about the Villa.
