Forgive and forget?

[saunders_heroes]

Bridges are never burnt in football. If Gabby comes back and scores a shit load of goals next season and helps get us up his recent past will all be forgotten. Same goes with every other player who played their part in our downfall. Football is a very fickle game.

I'm not sure of the validity of it, but there's a pic of Gabby on Instagram looking much, much fitter.

Bridge still burnt for me. It would take something incredible to make up for the last 5 years of him taking the piss.

Like that's going to happen

Maybe he's lost some flab to help him get moved to another club. Never want to see him in a Villa shirt again

Fixed that for you

There is a 0% chance of a Gabby comeback. He's finished.

Even if he scores 20 next season, stop sniggering at the back, I won't forgive his utter shitness of the last few years. I'll celebrate the goals obviously, but forgive him, nah.

One of the few things that RdM has said about players so far is that the squad is too big.
I am hopefully taking that to mean he is getting rid of the wasters listed above.
Hopefully!

I just had a horrible thought...we were told that many contracts had relegation clauses in them that significantly reduced their weekly wage. Well what happens to those contracts if we get promoted again, do they automatically increase back ? Is it possible that some of the high earning wasters on longer contracts would be prepared to sit it out and take a 'free' wage increase upon getting back to the PL without contributing one iota to the effort.

Don't worry about it, at the worst, another year less on their contract.

Agbonlahor never scored a load of goals when he was young fit and fast. He scored important goals from time to time. He may score in the lower divisions if he agrees to leave the club....but there is absolutely no chance of him doing that.He will hang on...and on...etc etc.

Maybe he'll find the championship is his level, as he certainly isn't Premier League standard.  Wouldn't be against using him for the odd game here and there then selling him on next summer after he's helped us towards promotion.  We can't rely on him as a first choice though, so he should be replaced in the starting XI asap.

Looks like he's been puking his kebabs up just after eating them.

[Gregorys Boy]

If we were still in the PL I'd probably get rid of Lescott but at Championship level he might be worth one more year, although I'd maybe use him as a sub. 

Gabby and Richards I'd get rid off without doubt. 

Guzan I'd keep as back up keeper. I like the look of Bunn personally. 

Bacuna I quite like, but he just hasn't produced consistently and I think he is one we could probably use getting off the wage bill. 

[N'ZMAV]

You quite like Bacuna? why?
