I think he'll play quite a big part this season and would not be surprised if Kodjia is out if he started the first game up top with Hogan. I should've known better than to disagree !! Yes he is limited but without question we looked more dangerous with him on, and we can't have only Green and Kodja with any pace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely feel at this point fans who continue to unnecessarily spur the negativity do more harm than the debated "player". We all know how who feels about who and what. It's a new season, we all pretty much know he is on his way out, why don't we just look to the future and hope since he is still a Villa player he finishes on a high? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I've probably been this guys biggest critic over the years, and though its not going to happen this year, I'll be happy to see the back of him. That said, i think we'll see a much different Gabby this season. The signing of Terry in particular, along with other experienced pros will i think have a big impact on his attitude and desire for the game. And lets not forget its the last year of his contract.

PaulC Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I doubt whether we'll ever see the halcyon days when he scored 10 goals a season. Not sure why he is still with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 He'll probably have a blinder first few games, score for fun, then get the mandatory new 5 year deal, revert back to his former self, Bruce will be gone by Christmas, and we'll get to rejoice as this thread hits page 2000 in the years that follow. Happy days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have been quite sad if he'd have left within the past few seasons, on a sour note and being hated by so many of us. He's got a chance to redeem himself a little here. But I'm know I'm in the minority! I don't think you are. A lot of fans remember his early contributions for us. He was one of the most feared strikers in the Premier league. His demise coincided with the clubs demise. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Does anyone think he will reach double figures goals wise this season? Simple yes or no answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Ok an exgeration but he was very highly rated and scored big goals against most of the top teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 If he can get fit then I do believe 10 goals is more than realistic at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted July 22, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2017 He should have gone before now but clearly no-one would take him and/or he wouldn't leave and drop his wages. That's in the past now though and I do actually think he could score 10+ goals fairly easily if he were a regular starter in the coming season. I'm not sure he will be, though.
