Gabby

[PeterWithesShin]

He's played ok for us in a few games down at this level but he's been fit enough to play in 9 league games in 2017 so far, it would be insanity to offer him a new contract imo.

I don't feel any ill will towards the bloke but I think he's past it and has been for quite a while.

Flabby was exciting and was dangerous but that was a long time ago. He has done nothing during the course of his current contract so why he should be considered for a new one, I don't know.

I was all for negotiating a pay-off when we were relegated. One goal against Blues does not justify not doing it. If we are serious about promotion, he should be nowhere near the squad.

If we had other options, I'd say get rid, but beggars can't be choosers and we're all out of forwards

I'd rather bring McCormack in from the cold to be honest. At least he's done something in the last 5 years

I watched a bit of FatMac this morning, he scored another goal. The commentators were saying that although he'd scored seven goals, his overall contribution hadn't been very good. He doesn't look in shape at all.

well that's up to the club to get him in shape isn't it. If he wants a way back (and i presume he does) then when he returns in january, its up to him to get that extra weight off. End of the day he was knocking in the goals a year back, and out of all the less than great options we have he seems the most likely to score the goals we need.

I cannot fathom why some still fawn over the wastrel. Winning goals against Small Heath are not enough to convey legendary status for me.

The stuff about him being played mostly as a winger is bollocks and I will happily share any number of stories about what an unmitigated ****** to have around he was in the relegation season.

I think those moments bought him a lot of equity and he's been dining off that for years. Many still love him despite all of that especially when he did it again last season against Blues. I'm like you in that it's exhausted now and can only see him for the person he became. Those moments are very pleasant memories but he along with other senior players played a very important and damaging role in our demise. We need to move him and Richards on and be done with that chapter of our history.

Fire away pal

If we can make some use out of him between now and the end of the season then that's ok.  Even better if he plays well to help himself get a club next year.

But a new contract for us?  No fucking way.

[Damo70]

I think he has plenty to offer at this level when fit and motivated. He's just suffered quite badly of late with injuries.

Somebody yesterday to work the channels was what we needed instead of the utterly moronic firing it into Davis to recycle the ball time and time again.

If he was fit and motivated it would be a different story but most of us can't even remember that far back to when he was fit and motivated.

Today I listened to the absolute insanity as large chunks of BBC time was given up to the story about "Peppa Pig piling pressure on NHS with 'unrealistic' image of GPs"

Giving Gabby a new contract at VP would eclipse Peppa when it comes to insanity.

That Doctor Brown Bear is very good at turning up but like a medieval quack on the remedies.

Dr Brown Bear does work hard to be fair.
