He's fast becoming one of my least favourite footballers.
He's got some good competition in our squad alone.

I'm really chuffing well starting to despise football and it sickens me that there's so few players in our squad I feel I can get behind.

What's funny is, one of the few players I'm liking right now is Ayew, who came with a bit of a reputation, but to be fair to the lad, he gives his all and it seems to matter to him whether we win or lose. It looks like it hurts him when we play so poorly and don't get results. He's got pride and I like him because of it.

Agbonlahor is a fat, lazy disgrace and should have his contract paid up and be sent on his way.

definately

unless we terminate his contract he is going nowhere

Absolutely agree on this.

Can't be bothered to check, but is there any evidence that his form used to spike prior to a new contract being negotiated?

As Agbonlahor is probably a millionaire anyway and doesn't want to move from his local patch it will suit him to sit on his contract for the next three years turning out for the stiffs. In the end they will get fed up of him and make a decision to pay him up and get him out of the club.

A lot of vitriol on here for Agbonlahor.  He's a bit past it, but that's it really.  I understand the frustration, but really, the daggers are a little over the top.

I remember a player who scored important goals in the (relative) good times and a few besides. 

Is he worse than Gestede?  Fuck no.

Due to body mass expansion of alarming proportions, we can forget  about his pace.

However, there is much to be said for his sumo wrestling skills in the box, particularly from dead balls, which are part and parcel of the BPL. This should not be overlooked, and is not trivial. Apart from taking a defender out  by blocking them off with his prodigious girth, with a moderate run he could form a mini solar eclipse and leave a couple of them in the dark, functioning like a not so small moon.

And again, although the tippy tappy tenedency are in denial on this physical aspect of our game, I would not fancy the chances of a defender who is stupid enough to let slack jawed fellow get them in an an arm lock, because they will be needing treatment for dislocation or damaged tendons.

Gabby has more yellow cards than goals in the last 5 seasons. His only weapon is his back side, which he spends pushing into defenders. Then standing there with his mouth open (as always) when a foul is awarded against him. Thick fucker has robbed a living. At least it's kept him out of prison.

You clearly don't like him very much.  But prison? What do you know about him that would give you that impression?

agree totally

cant see a prem team coming in for him and if he is going to drop down to the championship that would mean a 50% drop in wages which he wont go for.

No.

Yes if the choice is Gestede or Agbonlahor.
