He was in our property chain when I moved house in the summer (buying our buyer's house to then rent out). Apparently he's big into the property thing and has no desire to leave the area. We're stuck with him.

An old fellah sitting beside me when he last waddled around the pitch wryly observed "Jayzus, he is as  wide as he is long".

At this rate, in three managers time, he will be the size of a small planet, and he will be texting in special signs for fat thumbed fucks who don't know any words.

His performances started going down hill a long time ago but since lambert started making him captain and then they made him club captain his effort level has hit the floor.

If he won't leave and wants to see his contract out, I would leave him out of the squad and tell him to stay at home and just put his wage slip in the post to him.  That would be the end of his career but the stupid bloke wouldn't realise it.

Keep, he will be useful in the championship
What as?

Corner flag.
He can rent out some of his properties to our new squad members. On matchdays he can model baseball caps in the window of Villa Village.

There will be a taker at £3m I would imagine, or, somewhere on loan which is more likely.  Wolves wouldn't be a bad shout.

why would any club take him on loan? unless we pay the vast majority of his wages which defeats the object.

Derby could afford him.  We could also pay a portion but not all the wages.  We had a similar problem with Bent.  I can't remember what the deal was with wages though.

Any team in the top six of the championship will be looking to take a gamble come the end of the window, my bet is Sheffield Wed, you heard it here first!

On what basis would Gabby constitute a good signing? He's bloody awful as a player, he makes no effort and his attitude stinks like my bedroom on a Sunday morning.

Poor Gabby, way past his best indeed, but he's been turned into a scapegoat for all our problems and gets more grief than the real culprit at Villa.
Anyway, I'd play him at Sunderland. He's got a good record up there.

So would I. Ayew is out, Gestede is useless and Kozak never gets a look in. Having said that, Garde will probably play Sinclair as a lone striker.

When he is "struggling with his back"?

If Lerner were a player he'd be Agbonlahor.

Na, he'd be a Joe Bennett or a Jordan Bowery or any of the shower of shit his austerity has caused us to sign over the last 5 years.
