Gabby

[Fasth56]

For me Gabby isn't the cause of the problems, but he's become a problem, much like Richards.  We've got 2 guys there on big wages who are being played to fuck about in training and have the odd run out here and there where no one expects anything useful from them.

Last nights attendance probably paid the weekly wage for those two.

Richards the Clown I can believe, everything to him is a joke but Gabby?

I'm just going on the pictures they post from training where Gabby always has a massive grin and looks like he's playing at the park with his mates.

To be fair, the photographer/CMS bod will tend to prefer photos that project a positive image of unity rather than showing players scowling, smoking, flobbing, having a slash behind the nets or giving fistface 'the wanker's'.

Same reaction when he's playing for the first team when the ref. gives a decision against him.

Yup, he's always played with a smile on his face.

True, but the rest of them you mostly see photos where they're putting some effort in, Gabby and Richards have very few of those.

Is he ever going to manage a full month without being injured?

If ever there was a poster boy for everything I despise about what has happened in the last seven years it is this mugwump.

Isn't it often the way though with the sprinter type players that once they start to break down they are permanently fucked? See case Owen, M as another example of a player who once broken only came back for a few games and then disappeared for a month or two.

What a terrible trait. A propensity to grin

A propensity to act the ****** and steal a living is more the issue.

I don't understand and never will those that still defend him.  It defies belief.  Let's put it another way.  Does anyone seriously think he's earned his £3m per annum salary for the last say to be generous three years?

what about his contract ?
do you think we should offer him a new one or just put him on a 12 month rolling contract

[kippaxvilla2]

It's a no from me to him being near the club.

Very harsh. We need to give him a full pre season (and a bit). Then if he scuffs one in early doors next season, we need to give him another 9 months. And so on until he gets his 20 year testimonial.

The beauty is everyone wins.  Apart from Villa fans.

True I don't know what I was thinking.
