Gabby - keep or let go

[Hookeysmith]

Although Gabby is considered an unintelligent footballer on the pitch nearly every manager seemingly picks him and I wonder if it is due to the following reasons


* He seemingly carries out Managers instructions to the letter - never going "off tactics"
* He tracks back and is seen to work his nads off doing what Managers call "Ugly work"
* He is a big influencer in the dressing room cliques with players listening to him so Manager keep him on board

The suggestion very early on in pre season was that he was on fire and had struck up a good raport with Gil. I wouldn't write him off just yet. Especially having sold so many others we could do with some stability

We haven't seen any proof of this though have we? Has he scored any in pre season at all, I can't remember. It sounds like your normal managerial pre game stuff guff about so and so is on fire, banging them in in training blah blah.

I'm sorry but I have literally no idea what he has to do to get dropped.  Offers absolutely nothing in my opinion.

Some have been saying that for a good while.

[Risso]

Let go.  I'm sorry, but he's fucking shite.  I can forgive the new players for taking time to settle in, but Gabby just hasn't been anywhere near good enough for far too long now.

Seems to be getting worse. He still looks overweight and he looks slower than ever now. Where has his pace gone?

[taylorsworkrate]

I think he has become an embarrassment. That may seem strong, but I can't think of a better way to describe him at the moment.

He contributes nothing at all. He doesn't even appear to work hard anymore

E's gorra go Tom.

[OzVilla]

Gabby with no pace is Championship at best.  Whats the point of him?

[kippaxvilla2]

I honestly thought by signing 10 players it would give him a kick up the arse but he is just awful.  The modern day Darius.

Danesh?

The big concern is he seems to get worse each season. For all the excuses of negative managers, played out of position etc, since Pubehead left he's been wank under every manager regardless of position. Managing a few good games a season, if we're lucky, doesn't justify the millions he's earning and a regular starter. He's actually starting to annoy me now.

An empty shirt today. Offered nothing. Nary has there been a luckier player to stay on the pitch for 90 minutes.

[Chris Jameson]

It's beyond me how he gets anywhere near the starting eleven, his pathetic facial hair is reason enough to get rid.
