Gabby

[peter w]

That's one way of looking at it. However, given that for Gabby he may think that next season could be his last season in any type of employment unless he produces performances that lead to promotion. He's never had this real threat previously and even had the owner questioning him last summer. If he is offered a new contract then it means we have been promoted, he has sorted himself out, and the club deem his performances and attitude to be at a level where the owner is willing to be questioned for his past words. Its a long shot and I doubt he has it in him. we shall see.

Well this is the latest comment from Dr X on Gabby...

Imagine if Gabby can turn up early at BMH every day? Hard working always being rewarded! Well done, lads. Fans are fabulous as always!#UTV

...this would suggest he's still less than impressed with him and rightly so.

[Allan C]

Sorry, but he's had his chance and a goal against blues is nowhere near enough. The sooner he and others such Richards are gone the Club will never move forward

[Chris Smith]

I don't see him as a regular starter but I think used as an impact sub where appropriate he could be useful next season.

I was speaking to 2 of the unwashed at work today and both said that they just new when he came on that he would score.

Problem is Peter, if the above came to pass and he was offered a new contract, I suspect he would revert to type once the ink was dry.  Like others have said, use him here and there next season and hopefully he can leave next summer in somewhat of a high. 

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Get rid. The adulation Gabby gets at games completely amazes me considering how shit he has been for so long.

We don't want shit players, nor do we want shit players who can't be bothered when things get tough.

[John Mitchell]

He's staying at the same hotel as us in Portugal at the moment and looking in great shape. Would be nice to see a fully rejuvenated Gabby next season even as an impact sub.

[brian green]

You may be looking in great shape but what is Gabby looking like?

The Dalai Lama.

The Dale End Lama.  Very similar but no mountains and fewer yaks.

[mr underhill]

Yaks are very hirsute though and Gabbs isn't.

[brian green]

They are very horny.

Dion Dublin has apparently predicted the Gabster could score 20-25 goals this season (Birmingham mail) I believe

I mean these people are ex professionals and football pundits and they come out with stuff like this
He must have taken up permanent residence on fantasy island

I did say to my mate that Gabby would be a good outside bet for top scorer as Bruce appears to be intent on playing him, I was given short thrift.

In my defence I had partaken of a couple of pints.
