osmark86 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 seems like he is a bit inconsistent but I still think he is better than Weimann or Zoggy. he had some decent games last season and bagged a few so I'm not too concerned. I think he'll make a solid squad player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think understandably he was trying hard to make an impression in a situation where his manager has made it clear he's a bit lukewarm. Tried too hard perhaps. Needs to calm down and concentrate on the rest of his game apart from his impressive pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 He was pretty good last season so I'll use that as an indication rather than a friendly game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 today summed him up it was 4 on 3 and Gabby was free and he dribbled into a Wolves player and in 2 seconds they were on the counter attack. No brain at all Basically Fabian Delph, but as a wide player, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 He will be a useful squad player this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegzy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think he had been very poor so far. Didn't see the match but judging by the comments it sounds very similar to his Walsall performance. I do however think he has the ability and just needs to remember how to use it, let's not forget he has barely had a run of games for about 3 years.

Nabby Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 To me seems ok as an Impact player currently , really needs to sort out his final ball and decision making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Was it the game against Swansea where he did that the entire game? Missed like 5 good chances and just ran into everyone when he had the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 i think he'll do ok he seems to be holding back a bit in pre-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think he's going to play a big part for us. If we are playing some version of 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 then we need players who are comfortable in wide areas. We now have a few of these players in our ranks - Sinclair, Gil, Grealish, Ayou. That doesn't even include Gabby. I'm assuming Nzogbia won't feature much, and Joe Cole neither. I also don't believe all this "we had to buy him" stuff - if that was the case then surely we would have bought him in January and not just had him on loan with an option to buy.

dudevillaisnice Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 It's true though. We had to buy him once safety was confirmed it triggered, Sherwood himself confirmed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl the Pearl Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Didn't his wife have a baby recently as well? Seems like athletes lose focus for a bit when that happens. I'm sure he'll be a good squad player for us this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have stayed out of this thread because it would drive me up the wall otherwise, but now he's scored a few in pre season I feel safe. I thought he was a breath of fresh air before a below average performance against Swansea and we barely saw him after that. I think he's a really good player, hot and cold sure, but he's a proper outside forward and we don't really have another. He has the X Factor to win games all on his own. I think he will start against Bournemouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you, he didn't play enough under sherwood last season, needs to start against bournemouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will start against Bournemouth. Before he moved to City, he was fantastic. If he can recapture that, and find some consistency, he's a first team regular for sure. At £2.5m, it might even be the best bit of business of the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
