Well since he was injured and/or left out for most of the (1) season we have been here, I don't see how it would be consequential anyway!

Nowhere near match fit either. And to counteract the better service argument he spent a lot of his games playing as a midfielder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KJT123 Posted July 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2017 Dare I say...he looks like the old Gabby. Unless he's just about to pass out from breathing in too much. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I have to admit he is at least tryong to get into shape. Definitely looks better. But his football brain is the main problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that goal against blues has motivated him to become a footballer again, a fit and firing Gabby should be too good for this division. If all of the "bomb squad" get themselves in shape and played a part, on paper the likes of Gabby, Richards, McCormack, Veretout, Gil and Elphick if they sorted their heads out, we could save a lot of money and also have some awesome players to pick from! You could arguably add under performers Grealish, Amavi and Hogan to that list too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markavfc40 Posted July 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2017 I think he’ll play a fairly big part this season and I think based on what I saw from him last season he can certainly be effective at this level. I thought in almost all of his appearances last season he made a positive impact. The guy has been nothing short of a disgrace at times but the penny seems to have dropped with him that his time is now limited in the game and he has clearly knuckled down since Bruce arrived and gotten himself into shape. Hopefully he can stay fit and show the same level of hunger and determination he showed last season because if he does he’ll be a useful asset for us at this level and certainly a good option off the bench. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Mark. Bruce has certainly been excellent towards him. About time he starts repaying the faith to Brucie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Come on Gabby, time to step closer to the 100 goal marker for the Villa - hopefully firing us back to where we belong in the process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby does look like an "old" Gabby above and he is now but he owes us something this season given how much he has been paid despite his under performance and misbehaviour of late.

This for me. I don't hate him etc, but see no reason to be hopeful, and would be very pleased if he went and we released his wages. I rarely disagree with Mark ( above) but he was average at best and that was a long time ago. All I saw last season was an hour of two of running about. If he comes good, great, but I won't be waiting/hoping/ expecting etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
