Unless he magically turns into Jamie Vardy amd wins us the title, I just don't see that happening. Unless he turns into the Pirlo type midfielder he said he wanted to be for Villa in the long term. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 A much tidier version of my blog posted on the previous page, complete with pics and everything - http://www.avillafan.com/24766/hero-turned-villain-defence-gabby-agbonlahor/ I was offered the chance to write it by avillafan by the way, I'm not defecting! Quote No matter what your overriding opinion of Gabby Agbonlahor is, there is no denying that the one time Holte End hero turned villain divides opinion like no other. From last minute derby day winners, England call ups and leaving the likes of Manchester United in his wake to smoking anything he can get his hands on and hotel piss ups on the day this once famous club is relegated, his fall from grace has been a slow, meandering and ultimately painful one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 7, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2017 Interesting to hear Bruce interviewed and saying that everything he was doing with Gabby was geared towards January because he knew we'd have a couple of attackers missing for ACON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will try and sell this summer to get some money if possible or release him on a free next summer. Either way he won't be a long term solution for the club. Shop window time for him.

The latter seems more likely. It's incredibly difficult to imagine any club (and i include China) offering him anywhere near what he is reportedly on here, and It's even more difficult to imagine Gabby wanting to take a pay cut at this stage of his career.

Davkaus Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Well, he won a corner that wasn't given, and had a go with a shot that got blocked. Not a lot to come out of 77 minutes of play though. Still not particularly impressed that he started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Considering he's been on several 'Regimes' to get him back to match fitness he looks knackered straight after kick off. He was a slight nuisance to their defence but his lack of fitness and now pace limits the impact he is picked for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 He was basically a ship lost at sea today with zero service as usual from our 6 at the back tactics which were clearly just to stop us getting hammered. Didn't appear to do much wrong and was unlucky with the corner and shot which could easily have been a goal on another day. Wasn't our worst player.

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2017 I know I'm going to be accused of bias here but I thought he did well. He certainly helped keep Spurs honest and when he had service he did Ok with it. Should have scored though, that was a big big chance for him. He will start against Wolves, we will see more of the ball and hopefully he can break his duck. He deserves it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Quote Hahah. He was lagging, but he probably shouldn't have been telling us what he did. It was a shit pool party in the week. Pretty empty. First, in the toilet he tried saying hello to me in an American accent. I said I know you aint American Gabs!! I was with some people who played against him for Spurs reserves. He came and had a booze with us. Told us; He was sick of football after 20 yrs. Was pleased to be in Vegas rather than the Euros (it was in June 2012) And the only way he could get motivated was if he joined Arsenal who he would play for for free. That didn't go down well with a load of West ham and spurs!!! Refreshing honestly and a reminder that they are human beings. Its **** showed 100% in the 4 years since. What a wasted career. Then his mate had a barney with Reo coker and they got launched!! Just had this sent to me by a spurs supporting pal off another forum I'm on recalling the time he met him a few years ago. He gave me permission to post it and I think I've been here long enough for most to know I don't post untruths nor have reason to. I have no reason to not believe him either plus the fact is that it only confirms what we've all known for years anyway. Gabby a loyal local lad you say? Villa fan my arse lol.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Dragging up something he may or may not have said to some Spurs fan 5 years ago whilst inebriated. We've hit a new low. Also, your mate is a cock for flapping his jaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) You are entitled to your opinion but this is about Gabby and in a topic about Gabby. Hardly what I'd call 'a new low'. Just thought it was funny, a little interesting and worth posting. Plus I had the text sent tonight while we were chatting about the game, I don't see how the timescale is important? Your unnecessary reaction is over the top. Edited January 8, 2017 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Performance was very similar to ones that Kodjia put in when he was up front on his own. Completely isolated but chased and ran the channels well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
