In the pics a month or so back he looked in great shape. And now looking at that he looks like he swallowed Hepburn-Murphy. Fucking hell

If Gabby is the answer, then lord help us!

There is no way he should be stopping the progress of Hepburn-Murphy

Get rid ASAP.

It's because he bulked up to much. You need to work like a dog to stop it turning to fat.

Whether it was to outmuscle defenders, or for vanity, we'll never know, but it took away the edge that made him the player he was.

Sorry to be a pedant but that isn't true. You need to work to maintain a level of fitness and he clearly hasn't been doing that - but muscle doesn't turn in to fat. He simply has a poor diet.

The muscle and weight gain has definitely caused him to lose speed though.

Ha, I was going to be the pedant to this. Whenever someone states 'muscle turns to fat' I'm always that prick.

I'm a 6ft tall strip of piss with no pace.

This is what earned Gabby Agbonlahor a shock Aston Villa recall - Steve Bruce

Villa boss discusses the Brummie striker's return to favour

By Gregg Evans

16:22, 4 NOV 2016Updated16:23, 4 NOV 2016


Steve Bruce reckons Gabby Agbonlahor’s positive influence on the dressing room has earned him another crack at his claret and blue career.

The 30-year-old Aston Villa stalwart is trimming down and fighting for his future after being told by the new boss to get fit and firing.

Agbonlahor made his first senior appearance for seven months against Blues last weekend and followed it up with 65 minutes of action for the U23s in their 4-0 win over Blackburn.

“He’s done nothing but galvanise the squad since I walked through the door,” admitted Bruce.

“I’m not interested in the past, that’s gone

“Basically I’ve said to him it’s up to you Gabby. I wouldn’t say last-chance saloon but to be fair to him he’s done everything he’s been asked of so far.

“In fact, so much so, that I thought he had such a big influence in the dressing room that he deserved a place on the bench last week.

“He knows, if he is to make any impact, he has to work hard and lose a bit of timber, if that’s the right way of putting it, and he’s doing everything he can.”

Agbonlahor’s weight issues were highlighted last season when he was out-of-shape and some way off a place in the squad.

In the last transfer window he even shunned a loan move as Villa looked to get rid of their longest-serving player but how the times have changed.

“I have to admit, I didn’t envisage seeing him in the team last week but his influence in the dressing room and on the pitch in the derby game was good,” added Bruce.

“I thought we were better when he was on the pitch. He gave everybody a lift.

“He’s a very good player, an Aston Villa fan, who’s played in the top league all his life and scored goals.

“If I can get him right, he could be the little bonus as a manager, that you’re always looking for because he’s a quality player.

“To play football at this level, or any level, you have to be in a physical condition to last otherwise you break down and you get injured.

“It’s a crucial two weeks for him and us.”

He had a passing interest in Arsenal above other teams, he wasn't on the Clock End every weekend.

Most talented young players don't support teams in the same way we do, they are always playing.

Who gives a shit? If he gets fit and gets a few goals, fine. If he blows this last chance, then adios chubs.
