Gabby - keep or let go

[conman]

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.

don't know if there is  a clause that his contract that his wages have to reduced if we go down  but would anyone take a 50% pay cut when they can carry on picking up 100%
Its alright saying sell him , but wouldn't  he refuse any move as he wont get paid  as much as he would by staying at Villa
Blues had the same problem last time they went down , stuck with zigic for 2 or 3 years on about 50 or 70 grand a week

He took a pay cut when signing his current contract and I'm pretty sure it would have a relegation clause as well.

Has he tweeted an opinion about today's debacle yet?

[Chris Jameson]

Was that for all the haterz today?

[nodge]

I heard on the radio he went off because he "wasn't feeling well", is that correct?

I hope you're right about the latter. He has been taking the piss since said contract - the odd game aside.

It's the first time in years he hasn't got a free ticket into the starting line up. No wonder he looks peed off.

I heard that too. Hope he's ok, the poor little lamb.

He has a heart the size of a pea.

Garde on Agbonlahor coming off: "I don't know the extent exactly. I have been told he is suffering with vertigo. He didn't feel well. He had a headache."
Sounds like Garde isn't exactly sympathetic to the lazy, over-eating/drinking, overpaid leech!

[wittonwarrior]

Well we have fattened him up(in more than one way) and he is ready for market.  Sell him now whilst the price is right.

 He was dizzy cause even Toure in his wheelchair was running rings around him

Gabby has for a long time summed us up as a club. Today was no different.  The fact that he, Westwood and Bacuna all got long contracts last year just makes you want to cry.

Add Lambert and Hutton. The Summer prior we'd signed Cissokho, Richardson, Cole and Senderos and there you had 8 big contracts handed out to absolute monkeys.

[russon]

came off today cos he just didn't fancy it, plain and simple

[PeterWithesShin]

Big contracts? Richardson, Cole and Senderos were all 2 years deals.
