Gabby - keep or let go

[in exile]

Pay him off and fuck him off

[Des Little]

I will honestly be a worried man if Garde selects him in his first 16.  Sinclair is better in every department than Gabby, therefore should start if fit.  In Remi we trust!

This
The longer we keep him the more he'll cost us on the pitch as well as off . He is a waste of a shirt.

[gpbarr]

Get rid and fast. He's pulling others around him down with his casual, lazy, cant-be-arsed attitude

[Lobsterboy]

We have a new manager so everyone should be given a chance to impress and earn a place in the team.

On that basis keep him for now.

If Garde has a looks at him and thinks he's past it/never had it then I'm sure he'll look to offload him along with any others that fall into the category (N'Zogbia/Richardson and Senderos immediately spring to mind)

I don't see him as a regular starter but he's probably on a par with Gestede - if he can be bothered

Bournemouth bound in January?

we can dream but with the best part of 3 years left on his contract at what 40-50k a week he is going nowhere.

The fat git should be paid up and fucked off so he is nowhere the club, he symbolizes everything wrong with us.

Neither should be near our first team on current form. Both should be sent to work on their basic skills with the Under 8's.

Sinclair is probably the only footballer in England that has a worse first touch than Gabby.
Gabby can actually cross a ball.
Who would win in a sprint between the two I have no idea.

The best I can say about Sinclair's performance yesterday is that he put a shift in and for a couple of minutes looked like he was a footballer. I still think we'll never see anything from him whilst he's stuck out on the wing. Hopefully Remi can find a position for him that actually uses his natural goalscoring instinct. Otherwise, as somebody mentioned yesterday, he's a poor man's Charles N'Zogbia.

Gabby had a more than decent game against Swansea, totally committed, put in a great ball for Ayew to score but yesterday he was invisible. Six touches was a joke but he has to share the blame with the rest of the team. Remi needs first and foremost to get him fit. If he's carrying an injury he shouldn't be anywhere need the first team. If he's carrying too much weight, I'm sure Remi will soon know. Whether he can find an effective role for him is another matter.

First things first though, get them both working on the basics. Ball. Foot. Control. Pass.

Gestede can trap a ball further than I can kick it.

[Clark W Griswold]

Just watched the clip of Carragher and Lampard sniggering in the background as Neville tells it like it is about his 9 touches in 45 mins. Made me laugh to be fair, Gabby is becoming some court jester to the football community. You would hope that type of thing might spur him on to improve but I'm not holding my breath. This really is a footballer that has died on his arse and I'm not sure he's turned 30 yet.

Gestede appears to have been fitted with an unfinished version of Match Day II's "Diamond Deflection System" built into him.

I know it's opinion and all, but I think that's a very harsh assessment of Sinclair. He was basically isolated on the left wing all game, forced to deal with two or three players every time, and with pretty much nobody offering him an out ball. He's never been a tricky, creative winger - he's a goalscorer.

I find the point about him being out on the left being a misuse of his goalscoring instinct a bit curious as well - all of his goals this season (yeah, I know a few were penalties) were when he was on the pitch as a left winger. I think it's quite clear that he's one of those players who find it easier to find space by moving in from the left flank into goalscoring positions, rather than starting centrally and trying to get away from the centre backs.

Showing your age there Lee!

I actually think it's quite sad that Gabby is viewed the way he is by Villa fans (with a good chunk of it being his own fault).  He could have been our Steve Bull or Gerrard (ok, with a lot less talent) instead of how he is viewed now.

I have never seen Mr Blobby, Grant Holt and Gabby in the same room
