Gabby - keep or let go

[dicedlam]

Gabby always scores against Sunderland.

Start him on saturday, then never play him ever again.

Hopefully they would put a bid in for him.

Except against Albion maybe? He often seems to score against them too!

[ktvillan]

when Traore came on and did those two or three bursts and caused panic in their defence, isn't that what we expect Gabby to be doing
and when was the last time he did it ?

Yes mate, the same thought crossed my mind on Saturday.

Sunderland 0-Aston villa 4 remember the 2nd and 3rd goals .Gabby scored them. A beauty finish with pacey play and a second was a speed bursts and walked past defence beautifully .
Last time he scored

Gabby looked like a proper striker that day, with pace and composed finishes.  He was aided and abetted by a good all round team display and woeful opponents. The main problem is he plays like that once in a blue moon, and the rest of the time he's a passenger.

I badly want Gabby to rediscover some form and stick all the criticism back down our throats. But, it really is all over for him isn't it.

I'm very much afraid so Pete.

Always had a soft spot for Gabby (much like most).

Villa lad, local, loyal etc, but mainly for the goals down at the Sty over the years.

I do accept his time has gone now though as a first teamer atleast and will be surprised if he starts many games this season going forward. His performances in the last two games have been frustrating to say the least!

Personally I'd keep him as a squad player rather than get rid, and I think he'd be happy with that considering he's never shown any appetite to move away from the club.

Certainly not good enough to be starting on current form. I can't see him being anything but someone to throw on with 20 to go to put the shits up the defenders. That said, he's a long way off scaring anyone at the moment.

[Legion]

His performances so far this season have terrified me.

He's not done a great deal since MON threw his toys out the pram.

I think the word is comfortable not loyal

[dekko]

'Loyalty' implies he had the opportunity to go elsewhere, but chose to stay.  I dont think anybody else ever wanted him.

[Villa in Denmark]

Certainly not good enough to be starting on current form. I can't see him being anything but someone to throw on with 20 to go to put the shits up the defenders. That said, he's a long way off scaring anyone at the moment.

Anyone who bet on him scoring 5 or more this season?

[peter w]

I will

[Brend'Watkins]

Gabby must play V The Rags.

Keep for a bit I suppose! Rest him for a few weeks, wind him up and let him go. It's his match. Is it too much to ask for another gabby derby?
