KHV Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 65k a week for a striker who doesn't score goals and looks like he doesn't give a shit, ship him out and get in someone who wants to play for the club. finding people who want to play for the club when McLeish and Grant are in charge is near enough impossible especially if the players are attack minded. Bent is pissed off, Gabby is pissed off, Nzogbia is pissed off. When they were at blues they could get nothing out of Hleb or Bentley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be honest here ! Since McIdiot took over, how many players look like they want to play for anything ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 More Mirror bullshit. I wouldn't have contemplated selling Gabby a few months ago but if a decent bid came in (£12m is ludicrous) I'd take the money. The problem is what this money would be spent on. Its not mirror bullshit. Gabby is unhappy at villa and has been for some time. He dislikes the role he is given in the team and gets on very very well with Martin and played his best football for him. He feels his career is going stale at villa and he has ambitions to play for England again which he feels is slipping away from him being played out wide and having to track back. If McLeish stays Gabby will notWhere is the £12m figure from? This is only speculation. I'm not saying it won't happen and the Mirror will say 'we revealed this in April!' but at the moment there is no substance to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 He is not worth 12 mill. But then again Andy Carroll got sold for 35 Mill, so anything can happen in the football world.. I would take 12 mill for gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 20, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2012 Living off his local idol status for too long. He has been shit for ages. If someone wants to pay £12m then let them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 £12m! Snap their hand off for that. He doesn't score very often, has lost some of his pace and as a captain he is useless. Gabby has been given enough time to prove his worth and he has never achieved it. Long past his usefulness at VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Living off his local idol status for too long. He has been shit for ages. If someone wants to pay £12m then let them. That statement is ridiculous. When you look at the contributions of all of our attacking players, Gabby's has unquestionably been the most significant. He has more assists than anyone else and is our second top scorer, despite playing wide for most of the campaign. Although the numbers are not where we'd all like them to be, you have to factor in the McLeish factor there. Without the wins he single-handedly lead us to between August and October we'd probably already have been relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Not surprised by the link but would say the timing is more to do with Sunderland or more likely the media trying to unsettle us further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I would bite their hand off for an offer of £12million. Gabby has some good games (see the start of the season for example) but his abilities are very limited. Going back to MON, I could see him piling on the bulk again, too his disadvantage as it slows him down. Whether gabby is injured or not his attitude in the recent games has been nothing short of appalling...If i'm at work and dont like the manager or the things they are saying I still have to get on with it, not sulk because im being asked to do something different to what i want. People say he is unhappy playing out wide, yet he has played up front recently and has done nothing to indicate he should remain there.. His performance on saturday could go 2 ways: a) Be none existent, he may want to go and join MON next season (I have no idea whether he does or not) and feel that if he scores the winner past them that may jepordise his move. Be unplayable, trying to show MON what he is missing out on and make it certain MON will sign him... My feeling would be more a, as I dont think he has the brains to think about b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 20, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2012 Without the wins he single-handedly lead us to between August and October we'd probably already have been relegated. And with the goals he hasn't scored since November, we're now in a relegation fight. He's not doing his job. He's lazy and he doesn't score. If we keep him until 2020 he might hit 100 goals for the club. I hope we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yeahh lets sell our best players as we do every window. Gabby isn't in the same class as previous sales, he's a lower half premier league player, that's it. As he gets older and his pace fades (further) he just becomes a striker that can't score. See ya Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
