Gabby

[Toronto Villa]

Of all the idiotic decisions the club has made, the one to give that turd Agbonlahor a new contract is right up there with the worst of them.

Him, Bacuna, Westwood and Lambert. Blimey.

We wonder how our accounts can be so bad. Look at that Summer. Cissokho, Cole, Richardson, Senderos, Westwood, Lambert, Bacuna and Gabby. Pointless players that barely contributed anything and a dead duck of a manager. Must have cost us what? Another £40m-£50m in wages and fees?

[oldtimernow]

perhaps some loaded Chinese will come in and buy us as a feeder club and we could let them have Flabby and Richards as our first products.........

some hope eh?

I think it's quite sad that when he does finally leave, please let it be soon, he'll be going with what should be very fond memories of what he did in the past tainted by how much he's pissed me off in recent years.

If they decide to pay him off and kick him out it will cost about 4 mil by my reckoning. Mind you maths was never my strongest subject!

Cant see it happening I'm afraid.

When did he sign his new deal, and when does his contract end?

Signed 4 year deal September 2014. So we've still got two and a bit seasons of him

Richards has some resale value, Gabby has next to none. He's an out of shape, out of form, out of touch, former PL footballer who has no desire to do what it takes to perform at the elite level. He's getting paid a massive wage so we will no desire to leave. The only way out is that we end up subsidizing a move to some mug who thinks they can get something out of him. That or cut our losses and release him.

Gabbys also turned in to a figure of fun, the 8 touch fiasco has stuck with him and he's seen as a wastrel and a life style footballer now who's a bit shit.

It makes no sense when the club had identified the need to make cutbacks years before these actions took place.

[oldtimernow]

I think we tried to offload him in January with no joy, probably due to a lack of potential interest in him or his wilful stubbornness to move because of his cushy existence .

Cutting our losses looks like the best bet to get him out of the dressing room

[oldtimernow]

He could go on "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" as part of a club placement scheme

[ozzjim]

I think finding some sort of agreement on his remaining deal and just getting shut of him has to be the only course. Surely there is something in his contract we can do him for to not have to pay any more than a couple of million to be free.

[oldtimernow]

or we could club together for this guy....

The general concensus is that Gabby has brought the club into disrepute with his reported antics. Would this be a legitimate excuse for terminating his contract?

I can't see how he has brought the club into disrepute tho his latest antics have all been in his own time & away from AVFC.

He's brought the game of football into disrepute every time he set foot on the pitch.

Every time Chris?
