Speaking of previously rumoured transfers, Steven Naismith is joining Norwich for £8m.

That's nearly 30 year old, one-goal-in-every-five-and-a-half-matches for Everton Steven Naismith.

Maybe somebody might buy Gabby after all.

We need to find a mug punter

To be fair he''s scored more goals than gabby's managed in the last 5 years and perhaps he does other stuff like, assists, pass the ball to own team etc...

And he'll probably increase his wages and get one last good signing on fee.

Gabby would get fuck all signing on fee and likely have to take a cut in wages. No chance.

Can't see it Dave, because of that ridiculous contract he has no incentive to get off his arse & look elsewhere...

Might take a free transfer to weed him out of VP

even a free transfer wont do it as if any club was stupid enough to take him a good signing on fee would be cancelled out by a massive drop in wages

Not necessarily, if Gabby is on 50k that's about 2.5m a yr x3 yrs + say 1m sign on = pretty much the fee alone for a Naismith

Sorry, that post was meant to be laced with a couple of shoes worth of irony.

I've long-assumed that Gabby will be carried out of Villa Park in an Ellis-style wooden box.

Two things.  Inler forgive the spelling if wrong has played really well for Leicester tonight but is about to be replaced so they can go 442.

I saw somewhere that Gabby won't be leaving after all.

The scary thing about that is it tells you a lot about the January market. It is a feasting ground for clubs not really looking to sell, but looking to make a quick buck on the desperate. If we are going to improve we better pony up the shillings because we are likely going to get mugged ourselves by someone.
