TRO Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 In fairness whenever we get a new manager in, they could easily say it's time for Gabby to leave but he knuckles down and becomes a key part of the plans. Houllier clearly wanted rid of him but he still started the majority of the games that year even if it was out of position. He has been very poor since he got injured at Liverpool though. no....he is very clever, at surviving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Not been same since Liverpool injury.Set up 2 goals and was causing them lots of problems. Just not been at it since he is not only one though.For now best for him to play him uptop alone.He is not on form but historically he pops up with important goals so still think he will pull something out of bag before end of season.

TRO Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 there are a few players Gabby is one Lee Hendrie was one and Darius Vassell was one of hoodwinking everyone in to this I care more, cus I'm a Villa Fan. Alternatively at Liverpool...Steven Gerrard and Jamie Callagher don't imply it.....They show it week in week out. sorry guys...you've been duped.....with an acceptance of mediocrity.....loads and loads of money for a player who is totally inconsistent. stick with the non villa fans like Andy Gray,Brian Little, Martin Laursen,Paul McGrath,David Platt This villa fan thing playing for the club, I've never heard such a lot of old tosh......most of the best players we have ever had never started out as Villa Fans 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Can someone remind me of the last time he actually scored for us. I have tried but honestly can not remember 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Listen guys, you are all kidding yourselves. If, hypothetically a top manager like Mourinho,Rodgers or Van Gaal came in tomorrow and was given a brief of get us back to respectability again....Gabby would be history. He has survived on the excuse making club we have become....He is by far and away not our worst player and that in itself makes it more difficult to criticise him. He is a symptom of Aston Villa rather than a problem.....He for me is the perfect example of how we have morphed in to this thing called an excuse of a football team. He is also an epitome of why we are not demanding a better deal from the owner, he has brainwashed us in thinking everything is not so bad, one decent performance in 5 is acceptable. No it ****ing well ain't and further more we want our Villa back and we want to be challenging Liverpool.....Why because we can and we ought to and its only you lilly livered B**t**dards of a board/Manager is stopping us. we want our club back. stick your excuses where the sun don't shine.

Voinjama Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 He has lost his main asset which was his pace and now he is being shown up for the average footballer he is. A modern day Julian Joachim perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 He's been out of form for years now, so I'm starting to think that is not form, it's just his level. I dont think we will see the Gabby of 2007-2010 again unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Skrtel has more than wiemann and gabby combines now, i dont think he's lost his pace though, he may not be as quick but hes still rapid hes just never had the brain or technical side.

Jarpie Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Unfortunately I think it's time to sell Gabby in summer if there are any takers, he's not worth of 65k/week salary and doesn't even look bothered anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Whoever is in charge next season, whoever the owner is, whatever the model I do not want to see his contract renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Just not worth his wage and certainly not good enough to be starting. All he offers is speed, he had a chance through on goal today but a woeful second touch took that chance away from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 His touch on what would have been a very dangerous break and chance for him to get a shot on goal in the first half just summed up his season for me, the ability just isn't there and neither is the effort anymore it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, as soon as he knocked it on you could tell that he knew he'd messed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Just a poor, poor footballer. He should only be offered a shorter contract on half his current wages and sold if he refuses this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yes there was that and then that dreadful delayed pass to Allbrighton when he was offside and overall he was just very very poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Time for Aston Villa and Gabby Agbonlahor to part ways. It'd be a disgrace to give a player who only turns up a handful of times per season a new contract. I'd much prefer us to use his wages elsewhere. It also means if he signs a four year contract then he'll be around 32 at the end of it and barely worth anything. I'd prefer to sell him now whilst he still has some transfer value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 He might already know that he's not gonna get a new contract and so he's not even trying anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
