McCormack did well at his previous clubs, but for whatever reason it's just not working out for him here. Gabby offered so little that he was dropped from the side, so the idea that he'd be able to come back two (three?) years later and suddenly be good enough seems ridiculous. There's still too much of the stink of last season hanging around the club, and I don't honestly believe we'll be able to turn Villa around until we've properly cleared house.
