TRO Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 1 hour ago, villarocker said: I'll tell you what gets in the way of most professional sports men and women - the other half and parenthood. I remember the days when I loved watching snooker but got bored of it because Steve Davis won everything. He got married, became a Dad and then starting being beatable. Along comes young Stephen Hendry who too becomes unbeatable. A marriage and fatherhood later and he becomes beatable. Look at the relationship problems Gabby Agbonlahor has had, together with how many children he's fathered - including having a sick child - and you can see why his career halted and went backwards. Too many off-the-field problems have led to him not fulfilling his potential. And, before people say he's always been bang average, please remember that top defenders of his time have commented how they hated playing against him. I am not too sure what happened with his child that was sick but, I recall Juan Pablo Angel's first season being pretty poor and that being mostly put down to the fact his son was seriously ill. These things would affect any person's life, regardless of profession. I'm not defending the guy, just saying. Let's face it, he chose to bed the girls and not take precautions! I too am saying without his version, we are speculating. I am just non-descript on Gabby. I am not being holier than thou.....but when I have a tendency to hate I question my own reasoning.

NoelVilla Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I trust Bruce on this. Gestede and McCormack are before him so he will not get many minutes if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Dunno how this waste of space even makes the squad let alone the bench today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Pretty sure this a "symbolic" thing given his past history against City. Doubt he'll get any action, and pretty sure he'll not be in the squad for the next game. Rather he wasn't in the squad, but as long as he doesn't play I don't really care that much.

S-Platt Posted October 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2016 Maybe he is in the squad to explain to the others what the game means. Experience counts in these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Not happy not one little bit ! Wormed his way back in the parasite, however if he comes on changes the game or scores the winner then that is all that matters. Won't change my feelings towards him but it's all about the greater good not my viewpoint. So come on Gabby prove us doubters wrong and vindicate your supporters if given the opportunity. which hopefully after a kodjia hat-trick won't happen.

KHV Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Well the scene is set for a spectacular return. What price for a cheeky late winner from Gabby? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just about the only environment where Gabby could rehabilitate himself in front of the fans, if he scores then the ire gets reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Good management from Bruce. He probably has no chance of getting on ahead of McCormack and Gestede but will be a big confidence boost for Gabby and may unsettle blues with his record against them.
