Our record scorer in the Premier League and hero of many derby wins, yet he will never be remembered in the same affection as the likes of Gary Shaw and Brian Little.Dean Saunders and Savo Milosovic

Fixed.

What kind of upsets me about Agbonlahor is, it was all before him to indelibly make his mark as a Villa hero/legend.  Never a great footballer but he possessed vital assets in his pace and ability to find himself in the right place at the right time.  If he had only applied himself and worked on the other aspects of his game to add even a slight improvement then he would have left us as a hero.  Sad to see a local lad leave under a cloud but the reality is he won't be missed.

The 29-year-old held talks with boss Roberto Di Matteo before the start of the Championship season and it was made clear that he’s not part of the future plans.

As the first-team squad prepared for the opening day defeat at Sheffield Wednesday, Agbonlahor posted on his Instagram page:

“Good luck to all the players tomorrow and for the rest of the season!!”

He later went on to add another comment which read: “Thank u for all your support but sometimes good things come to an end.”


good things for him , not us .

Shame his career will end this way with us, I know he's made millions in salary off us but each of his winning goals at the Sty was worth a million to me, FFS Gabby pull yourself together work your gonads off and show everyone you're worth keeping if it's not too late already.

Not much more needs to be said but it is testament to his obscene laziness, lack of professionalism and all round fuckwittery that a player who scored our most Premier League goals and a number of important goals against local rivals and big teams will go to the justifiable pleasure of the fans.

Made the most of limited ability when he could be bothered, but losing him will be the best deal we make this summer.
perfect summary. Lazy wastrel is how I'll largely remember him. Which is a shame, because if he'd put the graft in over the last few years and led from the front when he had the captaincy, others may have done the same and we might not have gone through 3 managers in a year and stayed in the premiership. All ifs and buts I realise, but because he didn't do it, we'll never know and we're still where we are.

What really makes me angry is if there was one player who should have been setting the example to the rest of the side it was him, he should have been screaming at his team mates to lift their game and give their all but his true self as a selfish overpaid idle waster came to the fore.

There was a time when he had team mates such as Barry, Milner, Young, Downing, Delph, Benteke who all took opportunites to leave, and i hate to say it, but they all went on to better things (than relegation).
He stayed and probably regrets it.

Don't think he ever had their opportunities to leave. At the top of his game he was only ever average so not sure who would have wanted him. There were rumours of interest from Arsenal at one time but I find it hard to believe that Wenger would have wanted him.

Stayed? I don't recall us fighting off bids from title-challenging sides for him, unlike the others there. (Liverpool being included as they still believe they win it every other season).
