Craig Bellamy was a far better footballer than Gabby IMHO
Not even in the same league.

Who lol?

As objectionable as Bellamy could be, golf club celebration anyone, he exhibited more football intelligence in pretty much any given match than Gabby manages in a season. He also looked after himself to still be using his primary asset, speed, we'll past his 30th birthday despite constant niggles with hamstring injuries.

Get rid. Busted flush and had it way too easy because he's supposed to be one of us? He looks like a walking attitude problem. Put more in, get more out Gabby.

I defended Gabby every time opinion turned against him, until now. He scored some important goals, terrified the opposition with his speed, and put the work in as a wide player with defensive duties.

Remember that the newspapers were asking for his reaction to getting booed by his own fans many years ago. He came back from that, and silenced a few critics.

Just imagine what Remi Garde, desperately looking  to "energise the group" must have thought when he encountered Gabby's current incarnation. Basically a slack jawed energy hoover whose drive and charisma vary inversely with his ever expanding girth.

The fact that he yelled about Houllier's observations should have told us how it was going to be. Houllier was his manager with every right to comment on his weight.

Gabby was a very useful player and there's no reason physically that he couldn't be again. But mentally he clearly doesn't have the attitude and application, so there's no way he can return to what he was. Therefore he's got to go.

A long-term player, many appearances under his belt, and (am I correct to think?) he's our top Premier League scorer.

None of that helps us now - get rid.

the point is apart from the middle east who would have him at even half his current wage?

talk of loaning him out is pie in the sky - he has got to agree to it which he wont and why would he as football is obviously not his number one priority

i would cancel the wankers contract tomorrow and pay him off, fuck me nzog has cost us 25 million so a few million to get rid off gabby would be money well spent
