Oswald, you state the following "what bothers me most is the fact that even early in his career there were limitations to his game and over the years both he and the club have done absolutely nothing about it"From the facts we know about him, that statement is totally incorrect, I should imagine the club have tried with manager after manager being the main instigator of trying to get improvement out of Gabby, someone stated earlier about his diet being set up for him when he was receiving treatment in America and he then totally ignores it and comes back with excess weight, what Gabby lacks in the normal mental capacity, he makes up for in being the type of character to bleed and exploit any opportunity that makes his life easier, as a country we are quite lucky that Aston Villa have been paying this person for the last god knows how many years and from that the state has received tax and NI, because if not the British Tax Payer would have been paying him, because if there is not a clearer example of made for Benefit Street than Gabby I am yet to see it.
Because we were stupid enough to sign an extended contract with him.
totally agree Oswald, lets hope he gets fucked off......but why should we pay the waste of space???
Im sure some people think they should all live like monks and only be seen fell running and doing squat thrusts away from Villa Park.

Drinking, smoking and returning to work on a transatlantic flight hours before training is exactly the best way for a supposedly top level athlete to keep in shape during the season. Why should we expect the players to be in the best physical condition for work they can?

Why should we expect the players to be in the best physical condition for work they can? My fav Villa player Paul Mcgrath used to be half cut during matches, another one used to be high as a kite. Fortunately no one had camera phones in those days otherwise Im sure the Macca and Merse threads would be prime time HBO material. The tabloids are just fuelling the fire, Gabby hasn't done anything wrong here yet we're judging him like he's Adam Johnson.
