sne Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Have to say that I'm firmly in the get him out no matter the cost with Gabby. Think it's paramount he's not here this season. Loan, sell, release, banish, hide him in Julies hotel room I don't care, just get him away from here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 My main gripe with Gabby always was the automatic selection It now seems we have a manager that does not subscribe to that, which is encouraging. He can play for his place like he should have been made to do years ago.....just capitalised under lazy management. We will see how much of one us he really is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main gripe is simply based upon him never being a very good footballer IMO even in his so called pomp- all I ever saw was a bang average but very quick footballer and like you TRO I have been amazed at his until now status of an automatic pick. I just hope those days are gone for good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so very very inevitable it has never surprised me how uninterested other clubs have been, but amazed at how interested our fans have been with him until last season. IMO his behaviour has been the catalyst to his downfall......when in reality it should have been his lack of ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughes Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Got a public bollocking by legend Tony Morley during the commentary of today's game, Tony basically saying "he turned his back on us, I want him out". I have never heard that before, or anything close to it. How Gabby can come back I do not know and I agree with posters saying we should get rid no matter what. In fact, I have been saying for quite some time that his contract should have been terminated and then Villa should have stood behind that decision in litigation if it came to that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that comment from Morley was remarkable. I'm not sure whether people will have gathered the full import of what he said, but for a club legend - a man who helped win the European Cup - to simply state he hopes Gabby never plays for us again, in public, is quite something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like he had a few pints before doing the commentary so probably loosened him up a touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Its true though in a way. even though he hasnt had pace in years and a bit shit, defences are still wary enough when playing against him and treat him with respect. Ayew, Kozak, or Gestede are easy to read for defences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 The thing is, Gestede did nothing in the last match, but then scored anyway. That just doesn't happen with Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
