Gabby - keep or let go

[Villa in Denmark]

Gabby will be a sub player from now on, hopefully same for Sinclair who is just as bad imo.

Is Adama totally out of the question now, do the club not want to pay him with his rumoured wage rise?

Is that a joke or are people really suggesting that Traore is due a wage rise after 2 substitute appearances in the league and 1 start in the league cup?

Christ we should get his agent negotiating contracts on our behalf instead of Almstadt.

Let Patrick get him in shape and hopefully couple of months out of action will motivate him to work hard and get his form back.

Yeah, I thought he was taking the piss at first in a 'why didn't Barry take the pen' vein. But having read it posted a couple of times now I'm beginning to think he's serious.

[Sexual Ealing]

I understand that there was a clause in Barry's contract that stipulated that one more goal from a penalty would result in us having to buy Charles N'Zogbia for £9m and pay him £60k per week for 5 years.

We now have a manager who is likely unaware of his past glories. If and when he gets back in the team, it'll solely be because he merits inclusion. Over to you, Gabby....

Why do you think that Rémi Garde would be unaware of Agbonlahor's footballing achievements?

I was trying to be nice!

Can only see him playing again if we have an injury crisis up front. He just doesn't contribute. He's got away with it for ages.

[kippaxvilla2]

The irony is, that, when fit and can be arsed, he is probably the one player who could score the half dozen or so goals to get us moving again before we can buy in January.  For example, a 5 years ago Gabby would be better leading the line than Ayew who I still believe is more of a winger.  But that first line above is a very big if!

[passitsideways]

Has Gabby ever lead the line for us for an extended period of time though? When he came through, he mostly played out right. Once Carew came, he played off him. Houllier and McLeish I think mostly played him on the left. It was a pretty similar situation with Lambert and Benteke, IIRC.

[kippaxvilla2]

He played there under MO'N when he first arrived I think.  Seemed to remember him doing it well.

[PeterWithesShin]

He did it under MON, also under under McLeish when Bent was crocked.

[PaulTheVillan]

He's just not good enough. He won't be going anywhere yet, but I imagine if we survive, he'll be gone.
