Gabby

[SoccerHQ]

I've always been a fan of his but have wanted him gone now for about 18 months.

The big thing for me was he didn't fancy getting a torrent of abuse at VP in the run in last season which Bacuna, Richards, Lescott and Guzan had to endure.

He'll get that on his eventual return to VP when it should've been a round of applause for many of the good things he's done for the club.

Wonder who's daft enough to take him?

Looks to me like he's got three nipples with the extra one  on his right boobie.

When you milk the club as much he has you need all the nipples you can get.

He doesn't need any nipples to milk the club. 

You got me there, I thought I had a good'un.

I'd hope he'd stay and put things right on the pitch. He's been shit the last few years but at least we know there's a player in there somewhere. Id rather we'd rid the club of the likes of Westwood, Bacuna and co before Agbonlahor.

I think he's much worse than them. Westwood for a start seems a decent character, who has always given his best. Agbonlahor is much worse in my eyes. He was decent a number of years ago, but when we were at our weakest instead of fighting hard to turn us round he took advantage of the vacuum of leadership to abuse his position at the club.

Given his best? He mostly stands and points without actually having any  drive to do anything his self.

Well that might be his best. I've never seen him to a lot, Gabby on the other hand has done a lot more. I also have a lot more time for someone who keeps himself in adequate shape.

Gabby is in the training pictures on the Villa website. And he's smiling. He may not be gone just yet

Gabby set his bar way higher than Westwood so our disappointment in his fall is that much greater. He's one of us and yet in stunning fashion turned his back on us when we needed him to step and be counted.

I am not buying it till the fecker is gone!

[jwarry]

No wish to be controversial here, but Gabby is thick as fuck. Does anyone think that our shite management has led to his misdemeanours? Sure you are always accountable for you own actions, but we seem to be prepared to forgive the 20yr old JG now he has learned his lesson and sounds like he's getting better advice. What would we think if Gabby said the same thing is he owes us? I may be utterly naive but a fit and focused Gabby would frighten this league to death

Scott Sinclair is in the training pictures as well.

Maybe he's just wishing the club in general good luck and "the lads" tomorrow as he's injured. Could be a charm offensive, positive stuff about Villa on his social media accounts and he's expecting to be a big part of it this season. We've not read it wrong, have we ?!

[AV89]

Sad that the clubs top premier league goal scorer wont be remembered with the affection of the likes of Gary Shaw and Brian Little, but  cant say I'm particularly sad to hear, if this is true.

When we needed the man appointed club captain to try and fight to snap us out of our decline, he became the ring leader of troublemakers.

Gabbys career sums up our plight since Houllier left. A lot of early promise, but quickly turned into farce and embarrassment. It's a shame as you want to see a local lad come good, but it's best for both parties if he leaves. I'll remember the good days when he partnered Carew. Good luck to him in the future.

Since Houllier left? We were garbage under him. The decline started when O'Neill left.

Yeah you are probably right SH, but the Houllier year seems like a golden age in comparison with what has happened since.

The days of Timmy seem like a golden age, compared to what happened afterwards
