Gabby

[garyshawsknee]

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

Yep,i still remember the first 60 minutes at Leicester last season with a tear in my eye.

Working in Leicester and speaking to genuine Leicester fans, they are under no illusion that what they achieved last season was a one off in a lifetime moment and still don't know how they managed to win that game...or how Villa contrived to lose it.

Maybe this is the meltdown rumoured on Twatter earlier? Hope it's true - like others, for me his earlier contributions have been far outweighed by the last three seasons, capped by his complete contempt and utter disdain for the club and the fans last season, when, as club captain, he went walkabout when we needed him most. I'd be more than happy if we've seen the last of him in a Villa shirt.

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

That's not naive. It's very true, not only of this division, but also of the one we've left.

Only trouble is, he's not been fit and focused in six years. I don't want soundbites and excuses from him, I want his actions to speak for themselves. I want to see him roasting defenders, and watch him bag 20 league goals.

But I don't think I will. I feel that he simply does not care that much. That last contract we gave him was a joke.

When the going got tough, Gabby melted along with others. For one of our own its unforgivable. Thanks for the memories but good riddance.

Don't want to start a mental health argy bargy, but I think he has serious issues up top, imagine how he is feeling right now.
Had it all and is now on that rocky road is how I see it panning out.

[PeterWithe]

I can only assume we've paid off his contract.

[Arsey]

My money would be on a move to Turkey, that seems to be the final resting place of a lot of our strikers.

Well if he goes the further way the better. I wouldn't want him lining up against us next season.

What makes you think Gabby will have suddenly changed who he has become at this stage of his life and career? He clearly lacks the motivation to do what it takes to be a professional football. He's made a load of money so that won't drive him. And irrespective of that he's no longer a PL quality player so unless you think we are staying down we won't be facing him at all.

[saunders_heroes]

He wouldn't be the first player ever to get a new lease of life after a move.

Neil Moxley on Twitter says the club have told him Gabby's going nowhere.

[in exile]

Oh FFS, behave.
Who's going to want him?

Maybes get some margarine on on the exit door frames?
