*Deleted all the Villa legend bullshit off it.

Does anyone seriously believe he's going, I don't.

Haha, good old Leighton. Doesn't sit on the fence, does he?!

Everyone else commenting seems to be licking Flabby's fat arse and begging him to stay. Good grief.

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.

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).
There was a time when Young was not committing to a contract extension and Gabby signed a new 4 or 5 year one. Young left, Gabby stayed. If clubs thought he was interested in a move away from VP away offers would have come in.

I don't believe that is true. He really never was very good but when he tried his speed could make him dangerous, as long as he didn't have time to need to make a decision on the pitch.

He had time to make a decision on the pitch against Liverpool at Villa Park.
He decided it was all too much and decided he had vertigo so he could come off

I'll put my vote in here then...

Fuck off Gabby and don't come back.

Daft thing is, when he came back to pre-season a few years ago looking like Mr Universe, that's the kind of physical presence we really need at the moment to make the ball stick up front.

The ball should be able to stick to him pretty well considering the amount of BBQ sauce he must spill down himself.

I don't know about "never have been" - he's our all time Premier League leading goalscorer.

Let's not rewrite history here because he's now a complete fucking tool. He has played a significant role at times in some of our best days in the past 5-10 years. He just didn't apply himself to the level he should have to make the most out of his career. For some, £50k a week can do that.

I think that says more about us than him.
