We lost, 2-1 @ home, should it be of any interest to anyone. Me and then he followed it up a couple of weeks later against Hamburg away, he was brilliant as a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I don't really get the whole RHM contract saga... his current deal is expiring so realistically he is free to leave if he likes. We haven't exactly given him a reason to stick around, championship football, playing some of the worst football we have played in years, yet he still hasn't been given a chance. I watched him in pre season and he was really good. Granted the opposition were poor but Agbonlahor played in the same game and didn't do anything. Until we get a new striker in I would play RHM over Gabby and see how he gets on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce has already said he will get a chance if he signs a contract. He's been offered the best ever contract for an academy graduate but something or someone has turned his head it would seem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 He wasn't in the under 23's squad last night. I wonder if he has been completely frozen out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he got injured during the last u23s match. Hopefully he can consider signing his contract whilst recovering... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 17, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 17, 2017 I'm not sure Gabby is RHM's main problem in terms of wanting football at the moment - right now he should be concentrating on try to stay ahead of Keinan Davis in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 although I'm in agreement with many of you so not really offering a difference of opinion, my contribution is that I wonder what bruce even sees in gabby to pick him above the clubs next striking talent. this season is the perfect opportunity for rhm to get game time and build confidence, and lets be honest, whatever he does, even a little, will still be more than what that fat waste of space, thick as sh*t excuse of a footballer gabby does. lets flip the coin, he may sign the contract if he actually gets to play, he cant be happy seeing gabby being picked ahead of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, with all due respect, he needs to grow up. At the moment he's not "the clubs next striking talent" he's essentially a young player on a 6 month loan - and to add to that, he is not good enough right now to be in our first team. He is worse than Gabby and McCormack at football at the moment, and Gabby is only playing because our first choice is away He wouldn't be playing because he's our best option, he'd be playing because the game time would help him to develop into potentially our best option in a few years. If he isn't going to commit to those few years then we have no incentive to play him now, not one. It would be a detriment to our team in order to improve someone else's team next year. Madness He knows this as well, it's no secret, we've told him he won't play unless he signs the deal, told him we won't continue to develop him as a player if he won't be here. It's an incredibly risky move on his part, it's apparently the best contract any academy player has been offered, and it would be his first major contract. If he gets a career ending injury in training in the next few months he'll be working for McDonalds by the end of the year and why? Because he didn't want Gabby getting minutes ahead of him when he refused to sign a contract that would see him getting more game time?

VillaJ100 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 What's the odds he leaves, has a decent career, then comes back to his 'first love villa' as he's a 'fan' at age 37 with no pace and/or knees? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
