Gabby - keep or let go

[Phil from the upper holte]

Let him go, have no idea why he played on when Sinclair seemed to be growing into the game. Poor excuse for a footballer who passed his prime a long time ago

[Fin Feds Dad]

In the second half , Ayew picked up the ball in the left half position - and looked up to play a pass - down the wing .

Under 10s footballers would know that as a striker you make yourself available by running into the channel for the pass.

Gabby instead - played his usual part by marking his defender - he hardly moved out of the middle two stripes of mowed grass on the pitch all game.

The M6 had more intelligent movement on the night.

[Ron Manager]

Been a good player for us and Villa fan obviously too, time's passed him by now though. Cheerio gabby - you could have, but didn't make it to legend status at Villa.

Apparently Agbonlahor has confirmed he was an Arsenal fan as a boy and the suggestion is he never stood on the terraces at all especially at the Holte End. Its all a myth. We should be grateful for the goals he scored in local derbies and hope some lower level club will take him on. But he was given a long contract and I fear we will never get rid of him.

[Clampy]

He is starting to look a little bit past it now which is a shame. Sinclair on the opposite side to Traore with maybe Ayew or whoever  through the middle may be the way forward.

[Monty]

I agree Clampy. He looks a little bit out of his depth now.

Gabby could be the last remaining vestige of 'Thickie Villa' - the dimbo goofball-hoofball troupe of foul-throwers and last-minute match losers, crammed with well-meaning simpletons and all-round honest dullards, led by the arch-halfwit Paul "I just do" Lambert, who was so thick you could insulate the Large Hadron Collider with him.

Let Gabby go, and let's look forward to a brighter, savvier, smarter Villa.

[Chris Jameson]

Gabby, who is, sadly, brainless.

The urge to shout run, Forrest, run is great.

[bertlambshank]

Has there ever been a player who as got thicker with age?

[passport1]

Brainless footballers bombshell. Whatever next.

Brainless footballers bombshell. Whatever next.

On the pitch I mean.

Let Gabby go, and let's look forward to a brighter, savvier, smarter Villa.

Love it.

Tim Sherwood believes Gabby Agbonlahor can have his "best season yet" in claret and blue next term.

Agbonlahor has impressed Sherwood in pre-season with his form and attitude.

Sherwood thinks Agbonlahor has the ability to have a top campaign as he spoke of the pace ace really working on his fitness, after double sessions out in Portugal.

He said: "Gabby is looking really sharp.

"It's good for him to get a pre-season at a really high intensity like I want.

"He is getting that at the moment.

"He is shredding weight and why shouldn't he have the best season he's ever had?

"He's no age. 28. If we can get him fit then he can offer that real threat in behind people with energy.

"He scored six last year.

"We only scored 31 and Gabby's six were vital for us."


As previously stated I very much doubt Tim Sherwood shares the opinions expressed by several on here.

[Monty]

Well he wasn't exactly going to say 'yeah, he's shit, stupid, useless and pointless. Is this thing on?'

[passport1]

And then select him twice to really throw you iff the scent,

[olaftab]

Keep or let go? He has about 3.5 years left of  4 year contract he signed recently  at about 40K/week so even if we wanted we can not. Best is to keep here this season as backup and loan out to Walsall for the remaining term.
