'If' is used to indicate a hypothetical scenario, at no point did I say that it would be either likely to happen or would happen. You really should read posts more carefully. And at no point did I say you said it would happen. I just said "it's absurd to expect..." Maybe you yourself should read posts more carefully.

Popular Post dukes Posted January 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2017 3 hours ago, avfc1982 said: Well no, his record will say he scored more than 80 goals for the first team (more than most in the last 30 years). If you want to ignore that and concentrate on him getting pissed up with a few birds in London that's up to you. Yes you are right, 84 goals in 11.5 seasons and 384 games (or 1 goal every 4.5 appearances), which is around 7 goals per season is that good enough to warrant praise ? Rudy Gestede scored 10 goals in 58 appearances for Villa over 1.5 seasons which gives roughly 6 goals per season, I think you would agree that Villa fans don't hold him in high regard, and perhaps think of him as a limited player ? During Gestede's time at the club Gabby played 27 games [15 games (2015-2016) and 12 games (2016-2017)] and scored 1 goal. The last season Gabby got into double figures for goals was 2009-2010 (7 seasons ago).......so why does he continue to have so much blind support ? The guy had 4 decent seasons between 2006 and 2010, and in that time gave us some good memories, but he has struggled for form since and compounded that by insulting the club and the fans with his behaviour when he was needed most. Personally i'd like to see someone else given an opportunity rather than waste time giving him a chance to regain the form that we have hardly seen in the last 7 years ! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^ I think we should all support anyone wearing our badge on the field during the 90 minutes when it matters, no question. However, I cannot find many arguments supporting him elsewhere and if we cannot get rid, then priority should be finding better options and giving him as little game time as possible. As stated OTT, what matters is now and he's just not performing as much as I'd hope he would. Edited January 30, 2017 by osmark86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
