Gabby

[KevinGage]

I've put the boot in plenty of times this season, and he did look a dick in those photos.

But he's given us plenty of good moments over the last 10 years (not so many in the last four admittedly) so I try to contain the bile. Sometimes.

 I don't personally know him well enough to know whether he is genuinely trying and is just a busted flush, or if he is taking the piss.  Compare and contrast the way he casually strolls around from the kick of these days to his earlier workrate, and I suspect the latter. A player of his limited skillset was never going to improve with age and modify is game like others might, to counterbalance the loss of natural attributes.

He's got the big house, 10 babies and all the rest of it and now he is just fat and comfortable. That doesn't help either.

Unless something even more substantial than the shisha hoohaa comes to light and we boot him out even sooner, a parting of the ways this summer is best for everyone.

On his wages, that won't be easy. It's likely we'll have to subsidise the porker on loan somewhere for a while yet.

It will actually be a decent test of how sharp on the uptake the next manager is. If there is any talk at all of trying to get the best out of  Bacuna and Gabby, he'll instantly join the rotters club for me.

If ever a player less deserved a testimonial it is Gabriel Agbonlahor. The very embodiment of everything that is wrong and has gone wrong at Aston Villa.

You could swap the bit in bold for 'with English football'.

Barry never got one, so he sure as hell shouldn't get one.

Finally someone has come out and told people he's been conning us for years.

[pauliewalnuts]

I loathe him.

As he's ridden that "as Villa as us" bandwagon for the last 10 years, he should be the player this hurts the most, but it looks like he's firmly in the "couldn't give a fuck" camp.

I can't wait till we finally get rid of him.

At least the management are onto him now finally.  I would absolutely love it if they've found a gross misconduct offence from this investigation to sort the cocky little shit out once and for all.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Its the eqivalent of smoking 40-300 fags in one go depend on what you read.

I'm all for a good witch hunt but let's try and keep things a little bit real.

Is this not the player you famously stated "Is a £15 million player in this day" back in 2010?

[kippaxvilla2]

Yes and the best finisher at the club.  Times change Richie keep up son.

Gabby had immense potential in the side playing next to Carew and Young. Football fees are based on a lot of things and it's not inconceivable in a world where Andy Carroll cost £35m, that Gabby might have demanded that kind of fee.

And you see it all from Canada?

[PeterWithesShin]

I do hope you're not trying the "better fan than yow" line because someone on here lives in Canada. It usually ends in tears.

And when that becomes your retort, it's an admission that your debating gun has run out of bullets.

Thank you Mr Shin
