End of the day he's been earning £50k a week for 3 years and done fuck all, any critism that comes his way is deserved, he needs to do his fucking job and then we'll see if he deserves the plaudits, 1 goal in 11 months is terrible end of
Nailed it.

I think our best, if not only hope, of staying up is for him to go on the kind of run he did towards the end of Lambert's first season.

Gabby needs to realise that most of the comments on the photos of famous people on instagram are made by kids or twats. There isnt some massive hate campaign against him and even the resounding majority for letting him go on this thread will be based on poor performances over a sustained period of time, nothing personal. Im sure if he is honest with himself he has never quite fulfilled his potential. He now has one last opportunity now to get his head down, bang in some goals and win back the fans that once adored him. After that, who knows.

I think that if he slopes off at the end of this season to Derby or Blackburn I will look back on his time here as good overall with some amazing highlights but....it could have been so much more. Much like I do with our Lee Hendrie

Six goals in our last nine matches that season. That would certainly be welcome right about now.

I personally hope Gabby scores in each remaining match and ends up tweeting a book.

I wonder what the book could be called?

Sons and Lovers.

I am his biggest critic but even I saw he made a difference, I would still let him go at the end of the season because he will revert to type sooner than later. I have been thinking how good Albrighton has looked at Leicester and how we gave him away for nothing, seems with decent players around him he does the job and unlike Gabby he will run forever.

It is noticeable that his name still gets a pretty decent cheer from our fans when the teams are read out at Villa Park.

I think people really want him to do well tbh, I do. He's just frustrating

My view on this has changed with our worsening position. I was in the 'let go' camp but if, as is likely the dreaded drop happens then I believe he could scare a few championship defences. As villa through and through I would like to think he would be desperate to play a part in getting us back up.

Problem is he's on a rumoured 55,000 per week so unless he's happy to take a 50% pay cut, I don't think it's realistic that we could keep him in the Championship. I'd rather sell him anyway, putting on that much weight when your main attribute was pace shows his lazy attitude and then stupidity for not shifting it.
