Meaning evil 'understands' that Elphick not coming as Howe doesn't want to sell. We'll see.

Sounds like they're trying to get some mileage out of the story where if Daz is right, there is none.

Agbonlahor, Richards and Lescott...the poster boys for the shit we are now in. Any new intake can expect to 'look up' to such seasoned veterans. I know RDM wants to have a look at what he has before deciding who he keeps, but those three are beyond the pale. Get rid quickly...whatever the cost. As for suggestions, I'm not well up on whatever is playing in the league we're now in...but we are gonna need some snarling f**kers to get out of it...and if players like Tommy Elphick (who I hadn't heard of before Tuesday) are what we are looking at these days...so be it - whatever it takes.

If we can get £5n for Sanchez I'd snap their hands off. Woeful excuse for a player.

I used to like Sanchez but I think he needs to move on. Today he captained Colombia against Costa Rica and spent most of the first half either playing passes that put his colleagues under pressure, or stood in the centre of the park without trying to get the ball, pointing at his own players (maybe he has been watching Westwood play).

Who's Daz, what might he be right about, and what is there none of?

Confused, Greater Birmjngham.

Black's treatment of gabby seemed to be quite extreme and on the edge of constructive dismissal, so my guess is that he had authority from the upper levels of the club.  If those upper levels are still there, then I'd be surprised if he's allowed back into the squad.

Kev, I agree in principle with everything you said. I hope all of those players are sold so this a moot discussion. However if the manager decides after everything he sees, and with the possibility some simply won't attract a buyer we may as well get behind them. I don't mean forget, but if they are here what we don't need is a bomb squad situation and we cannot afford negative distractions. Those dark clouds need to be lifted if we are to have any chance of going up.

I know what you are saying makes sense but I just can't get behind piss taking arseholes like Gabby

If we can't sell the fat bastard id rather we just paid off his contract

Steven Fletcher released by Sunderland.  Worth a punt? He may be good for us in the championship?
He'd be good short term, on a free he'd be a very good addition to the squad.

I'm a big Gabby fan and think that with him properly coached and managed he could be a big player for us next season. However, I agree that his disgraceful behaviour last season may be something he can't and maybe shouldn't be allowed to come back from.

Yes I'd agree.

For so long I've felt like I have stuck up for Gabby on the hope he recaptured the form from years back. It's not just his form which is the issue now, it's his contempt for the club, supporters and his managers he's had that stinks. If we've got money it's time to rip up the contract now. It would be money well spent.

Agbonlahor's disgraceful behaviour has carried on for way more than last season, it was just that last season any last vestiges of pretending to give a f##k fell away.

If in your previously stated opinion Okore should be kicked out of the club for disagreeing with Black, surely Agbonlahor's class 1 c***tery is way beyond, "maybe shouldn't be allowed to come back from."

the guy's a parasite on the club he professes to love and needs removing. He's freeloaded for years - there are others of course, but their particular type of piss taking doesn't have the longevity GabFlab's does.

My cousins are st holders at Bournemouth and just sent texts saying they have good authority that Tommy Elphick coming to us as club captain !? They showed me screen shot from text convos from the players family at a wedding as one of them is close friend..... Surprise for me.... Any rumours of this from the villa side ?
