Gabby - keep or let go

[PeterWithesShin]

When Gabby is on form he's virtually unplayable and wins us games. The problem is that every season those games are becoming more and more infrequent.

I recall Gabby playing up front on his own in some away games, playing well and scoring the winner. I think he's done it at Liverpool and Arsenal in the past.

Old Trafford, too. He used to be excellent up top on his own and I'm still convinced O'Neill signing Heskey and going 442 cost us top four that year.

Gabby currently isn't good enough, but he does strike you as a confidence player and someone that can be easily influenced.

Apparently Remi is the sort of Manager that can make you feel like a world Beater, so I think he can get something out of him until were in a position to make some changes.

Another player who needs some time running up and down the steps of the Holte.

Now here's an interesting stat.....

If the article acknowledges that 8 months includes the summer then why say at all he hasn't scored in 8 months? And I'm not suggesting a more accurate 5 months is good, because it isn't.

So he's injured and not dropped. That's a worry. He could still be undroppable.

[Diablo]

There's no doubting that's a pretty damning statistic but in his defence he often takes a yellow card for the team when we're caught out, caught on the break. Still pretty pish!

It would be interesting to find out what Remi Garde's view and plan for Gabby.

[OCD]

We'll find out if/when he declares himself fit.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It would be interesting to find out what Remi Garde's view and plan for Gabby.

It will the first time in Gabby's career he's worked with a half decent coach. There can't be that many players with his number of appearances that have worked with so many clueless managers/coaches. Better late than never.

i laughed when I first read this, but on cold reflection, what a shocking enditement of what we've had over the last few years.  MON got the best out of him, but he was young and enthusiastic then, the only other half decent coach - Houllier - didn;t get on with him at all.  It will be interesting to see if Remi can do anything and moreover whether Gabby is up for the challenge after cruising for so long.

Time for him to go for me. If it's true that he's somehow in a huff with the new manager, he really should hang his head in shame. As the senior pro at the club he should be setting an example to others, even if he's not playing. Can't see another prem team taking him though, even top championship clubs will probably steer clear.

[SoccerHQ]

Talk of Brighton being interested, even their fans don't want him.

Would imagine he'll get loaned out somewhere with maybe a view to buy or the loaned club taking over his contract.

He is done for here.
