Well, first of all they're not below double figures.

It's undeniable he scored in big games.

I've not once said during this exchange I think he's any good now.

Finally Doug we agree :-).  I'm sure it won't last.  ( said with tongue in cheek)

Haha! Even a stopped clock is right twice a day ;)

Whilst we agree he's no good anymore, worryingly I don't think we have much choice but to play him. Though frankly I think we should be giving a youth player a go instead at this point, our season is over.

06/07 - Played 45 - 11 goals and 8 assists (on the wing)

07/08 - Played 39 - 11 goals and 8 assists

08/09 - Played 44 - 12 goals and 6 assists

09/10 - Played 48 - 16 goals and 7 assists

12/13 - Played 28 - 12 goals and 3 assists

Obvious gap is obvious and he's been mostly shit for 3 years. Gabby is not revered by anyone anymore, I don't think, but I was a big big fan way back when for what I perceive to be blindingly obvious reasons. I accept that stats aren't the be all and end all, but I am confident enough in them to say that yes, he was consistent year in year out at the start of his career. In fact, he improved year on year in many aspects of his game. 

He's had some good times and we have benefited from that, I don't see the point in trying to take those away from him. 

I'm not taking anything away from him.....that's around 1 in 4.......there was never much to take away for me.

its kind of ok, but his overall game never appealed to me.

The " here and now"  hasn't scored in 11 months.....that's not bad ,it's irresponsible.

I can't think of any villa striker who could realistically be compared to gabby, who has that shabby record.....it's beyond poor.

thats why stats are a poor mans argument.

He's probably our best striker when fit. 

I think that says it all. 

We have been saying these sort of things for the past 5 years or so.
