I thought Souness was going to lay into him but just left it as a comment about Gabby looking back on his career in a few years and thinking what might have been.

My take on Gabby is that he is effective when used properly. Since MON he has been starved of any proper service from midfeld . As Sherwood has made him club captain I think he appreciates the fact that he has remained loyal to the club during some of the grimmest seasons we have had to endure.

I dont think this would be the best time to allow a player of his experience leave the club.

I think we should keep him as a squad player only.

What I can't get beyond though is that all of our recent managers see the same mediocrity that we do yet he still keeps getting picked - he can't have compromising photos of all of them surely ?

With most decent players, you need to be able to rely on them to do a certain (positive) thing with some form of regularity.

What does Gabby do that fits that description?

Waste of space.

How many premier league games has Ayew played, and how many has Gabby played?

If we made him available tomorrow, which top flight teams do we think would be interested?

No, he really didn't. Neither were great to be fair but Gabby offers less and less as the seasons go by. A fat bloke with a moustache. That is all.

I wouldn't even keep him as a squad player. He's completely finished at this level and has been for a few years now.

We're crying out for a centre forward. Gabby simply isn't it.

My mate who is a big Hibs fans said he is a great clubman, is it because no one else wanted him? He offers sod all to the team now

Clubman of the year.  You know that Sunday league clubs feel obliged to award to the general dogs body that arranges the kits to be washed each week etc.  yes gabby suits that.

I can at least remember Ayew with the ball a couple of times. I can't remember Gabby touching it
