  1. Best finisher we have had this century. Our premier league top scorer. Hes too advanced in his thinking for every player hes played with. That makes him look bad. His football brain is even too quick for his feet. Thats impressive

  2. His finishing is atrocious overall. His football brain is none existant 90% of the time. But lets bum him because hes villa through and through.

    There is no median line with people like you is there?

    People like me? Don't perceive to know me. I don't rate him. Its my opinion.

    Isn't that pretty much what you did by saying "Let's bum him because he's Villa through and through"?. Basically childish sarcasm aimed at anyone who doesn't agree that he is totally useless and has always been shite, never a premier league player etc? Some of us may actually acknowledge all of his faults and ineffectiveness at times without extreme statements seemingly for effect? May I ask, how many season have you ACTUALLY watched Villa for? As I said, i'[m sure all of us can see when he has been turd, as with alot of other players, but fact is it seems some of you have straight go to scapegoats without any sort of balanced or realistic arguments.

    Also, why should VILLA fans not have affinity for a product of the youth most of us have watched develop all the way up from the academy, scoring a lot of important and impressive goals along the way?

    Realistically I am sure it's Gabby supporters who are actually his biggest critics when he has been shite, but we are also sensible enough to look at the larger scope of things.

    Anyway this argument has been done to death, pointless!

    I appreciate that, im 31 so been watching a fair while. Not that it really matters. I have never rated him, its that simple. I apologise for my previous post but in my eyes gabby is only good now and then. Its not enough to warrant constant selection and contracts. Hes below average more than not which is why i don't rate him.

  4. What's always intrigued me is that, as he now says, and we all knew, he needed more money, yet he ( supposedly ?) persuaded Benteke to stay , thus depriving himself of doing something similar to Sherwood now. Also, at around that time, he said if he was offered 20 m for Benteke he would " drive him there myself".

    So why persuade him to stay ? If that is really what happened ?

    The second thing that I'd love to know is whether, as it now seems, his ' young and hungry/ Dortmund's esque ' idea was a genuine philosophy or just a way of window dressing a ' cheap and cheerful' approach by the owner.....and if the former, as I believed ( and fully supported ) at the time what led him to abandoning it.

    The third interesting one for me is that as he now says he decided he needed a " dig in" approach. I wonder when and was it the Chelsea result ? I also wonder why, as Sherwood seemed to take exactly the opposite view......not saying one was right and one wrong (Lambo kept us up to meet his brief just as Sherwood did) just why ? Especially as one version was, as he says himself, unlikely to meet with fans approval.

    I think those saying how poor he was do so a little unfairly. He did acheive some very unwanted records, and certainly in his last season we had become unwatchable, but these things happened at a time of real financial stagnation and drift at the Club. We had been no great shakes towards the end of Mons last season, were poor a lot under Houllier, and woeful under McLeish. The odds were that we were on our way down when Lambo took over anyway.

    I genuinely feel for the guy ( not too much as he made a fortune !) in that on appointment there was a lot in it for him and the Club, but it turned very sour. I don't think it is possible to judge properly as to his real abilities given all the circumstances. Although his comments about Grealish, last year, and some other stuff indicate he had either lost his nerve, been shellshocked, or whatever, by the end, being ultra cautious in contrast to his positive manner at Norwich and initially here.

    Well said
