Forgot to put the emoji smiley face on. If Bruce wants to give him a fresh start and he helps if then I think fans should swallow thier pride and accept it. I've been a fan 54 years and I've seen crappier than gabby don our shirts. Forgive and maybe not forget but support if he decides to turn a new leaf. So many holier than thou though it seems. I'd say what Young and Yorke did once they left us is worse. Yorke to suck up to the blue noses and young for kissing the badge in front of the fans. probably get slated now on here for saying what I did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea where your driving this- I am making no observations whatsoever on either Gabby or Jack based on their professionalism. My apologies if you thought so- I am just saying in my very humble opinion Gabby is not a good professional footballer- something regulars on here will be fully aware of, and it's a view I have held since the day I clapped eyes on him- on the other hand, yes I believe Jack can play- this is my only point that I am making here.

Maybe I misinterpreted your post. It reads like - "I have nothing personal against him, but he isn't professional enough to represent Aston Villa". If you were referring to his football ability then I apologize. Personally, when at his best, I think he is more influential than Grealish, but we'll have to agree to disagree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Gabby's 'best' lasted for about 15 minutes around 7 years ago. Given that we're paying him and if he commits to at least trying to be a footballer again then I have no issue in considering him for selection (considering being the operative word as I can't see him displacing any of the current striking options unless there's an injury crisis and even then I'd rather see Green/Hepburn-Murphy ahead of him). I can't wait for his contract to end though, his time is up, he's just milking it for all he can now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy_Lion Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 He was all about pace and working hard when he was in his prime but over the last few seasons both of these seem to have been lost. He was also starting to look out of shape too which was worrying. His body language on the pitch came across as if he'd given up, which I know isn't true but that's just how it looked at times. Part of me still believes he could be useful this season but I need to see it to believe it now. If he's working hard and looking decent then give him one last chance to prove it to all of us.

We're going to be very very short then. Once again I have to wonder about RDM's thinking on that. Very odd strategy not to have considered this.

AJ Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 If there was one game this season he would play, it would be home against the Binrats. He usually plays well against rivals. Not this weekend, though. This game is too important for experiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 0-0 10 minutes to go throw him on and with his record there I bet the stadium will become a nervy place not that I am suggesting that will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 How does he even warrant a start ahead of everyone else? So he has played 60 odd minutes for the u23's and he is fancied by some to just be thrown in. Strange. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Give someone else the chance to score against them. He doesn't deserve the opportunity for the adulation that would follow, however fleeting it would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
