Zatman Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 But next year he will get 3 goals maximum. gabby would probably be instrumental at that level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Jerome ain't a premier league striker, we saw it at SHA. He needs 5 one on ones to score a goal at premier league level. Norwich will be relegated again if he's leading the line next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 We are the only club who would have a crap player representing us for so long. Can someone name another player of the same level be employed for so long while being consistantly unconsistanly unproductive? AVFC Steven Taylor John O'Shea Wes Brown Tony Hibbert Cameron Jerome (more he keeps getting signed than just at one club) Is Tony Hibbert actually still at Everton? He seems to play two games a season nowadays. Young always used to take him to the cleaners in our great duels with them around 2008-09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 They'll sell Jerome to another team that's looking to get promoted, I imagine. The championship is his level and he's good there - as said above, he can't cut it in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I think they may keep him as a reserve, but yes, they'll definitely be looking for another striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 In fairness Gary Hooper scored I think 7-8 when they were relegated from the prem and that was in an ultra defensive Hughton set up so he might go back to being a regular next season.

AshVilla Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Replace him with someone younger like Callum Wilson from Bournemouth His pace is his main attribute and he's just going to get slower and more lazier contributing less and less Edited June 4, 2015 by AshVilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33006305 Rogerio Ceni has become one of the top 10 all-time goalscorers for Brazilian club Sao Paulo - which is not bad for a goalkeeper. The 42-year-old - a penalty and free-kick expert - scored his 128th goal to beat Santos 3-2 on Wednesday. "Today, Ceni reached a difficult mark for any attacker," tweeted the club. Liverpool's Mario Balotelli, Aston Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor and West Ham's Andy Carroll are just three strikers yet to reach 128 goals. outscored by a goalkeeper wish we could move him on. Those 4 games a season when he plays really well just aren't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 outscored by a goalkeeper who has been taking all his teams free kicks and penalties for 22 years... daft comparison, he also has more than defoe, hasselbaink, anelka, gerrard, yorke, keane, wright... but yeah use it to knock gabby anyway, useless stat of the day, out of the top 50 premier league goal scorers gabby has the highest percentage scored with his weaker foot (33%) solskjaer (29%) and van persie (27%) are next 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 i don't think he'd leave the club unless he was forced out. I admire him for his loyalty and I think he's still got the potential to be useful on occasion. But he is by no stretch a starting striker, and barely an impact sub. He's useful cover IMO. If he took a cut in his wage for the good of the club I'd be happier to have him stay til the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 He should've become a squad player for last two seasons. Unlike Lambert, I fully expect Sherwood to have the balls to use him in that role next season. For example having started v Burnley 99% on here expected him to start the cup final but he didn't so think that gives a hint for next season. As it stands we have Benteke supported by Grealish and if Gil is leaving I want better quality than Gabby/Nzogbia as the other option. Him and SInclair can come in when we go 4-4-2.
