Gabby

Good that the national media are picking this up. Swans off to Dubai, pictured smoking cigars and shisha pipe, but not fit enough to do what he's paid to do. Doubt that we'll get the opportunity to provide him with some feedback anytime this season now.

[Durham58]

Utterly staggering. Unfit to play at 29. In April. The quicker we shed these utter wasters, the better. I'm sick of a bunch of half arsed losers populating our football club.

And fair play to Black, he's got nothing to lose.

The same age as Peter Withe when we signed him, and just a couple of months older than Jamie Vardy - absolutely pathetic and inexcusable from Gabby,  a total dereliction of duty.

[Monty]

He's hardly the most gifted on the ball, but he used to be useful when he could run and move dangerously about the pitch. Now he can't even do that. In many ways, he is symbolic of our decline.

[Malandro]

Take the club captaincy off him too.

[croatian]

Could this be (and I'm hoping here) the first move in a process to terminate his contract?

i.e. get him to agree that he's failed to attain and maintain required fitness levels.

On second thoughts, I think it could be the start of the club tightening up discipline, reminding the players that they are just paid employees with responsibilities, and that they don't run the place.
About bloody time too, if a tad late.
Which makes me think Psycho Nige is edging closer.......

[Goldie.7]

I can't stand this fucking leech. It's time to sell or pay him off, horrible player, garbage attitude and not even fit enough in April to 'earn' his massive wages.

Taking every fan (even the really thick ones) and the club for complete mugs and laughing all the way to the bank.

[Ron Manager]

If Nige is on his way in Gabby will be having nightmares Perhaps he will ask for a transfer before it's too late.

[cheltenhamlion]

He won't.  The club appear to be trying hard to make a real ****** of him with Black's comments though. There must be an end game behind that.

[Percy McCarthy]

We could always try giving him the Bendtner treatment, Wolfsburg style.

Bendtner barred from training

Not included in that article is a quote from Klaus Allofs, Wolfsburg's  sporting director that, "in general we consider him to be a danger to team spirit, so we're forced to act."
He's also gone out of his way to piss Wolfsburg off, including posting pictures of himself in club kit by his latest Mercedes ostentation. Which under normal circumstances would be fair enough, apart from VW essentially is Wolfsburg, both the city and the club. It's a contractual requirement to drive a VW when wearing club kit.

Apparently they're negotiating to cancel his contract.

He'd have fitted right in had we signed him.

[croatian]

Fair play to the club: They could've claimed that he's got a groin strain and told him he's got two weeks to get himself fit.
But instead they've gone public that he's not putting the effort in.

Good stuff, I'm warming to this new regime.

Needs more hashtags.

Apologies.  It's also now written in the correct Open Letter colour and type face.

I always thought in the days with MON he made up with a lack of talent that Ashley Young had with his effort and attitude. He often played out of position and worked his socks off on the flanks.
His goal ratio was often affected because of the constant positional changes in a season.

I stood by him like so many others for years after MON left and every now and again he pulled off a vintage performance which made me think there's still a good player there.

This season has really opened my eyes up to him and I feel very let down by him as I now think this has probably been going on longer than just this season.

He should be ashamed of himself. This season is the first time I really want him booted out by the club.

[Risso]

That game under Lambert where we beat Arsenal at the start of the season he was electric.  Didn't score himself but tore them apart.

[Steve67]

I wonder if he is ill, like depressed? Cue the jokes or sarky comments!!
