Jas10 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Would be a good way of "signing off" if he could end his career (last year of contract, thankfully) with us on a high note by making a meaningful contribution through a promotion winning season. That may just make up for his past indiscretions and he can leave with his reputation somewhat repaired - I don't hold much hope for that though and it's the least of my concerns or desires for this season. It should be his though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be his though... I think he will be better, I actually think they all will be. Just a hunch, as well as the team being more bedded in and familiar with each other, plus Terry factor etc. The transfer window isn't over yet though, I genuinely have a feeling we will only get 2 or 3 more, but they will make a huge difference.

KSV Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I dont think he will make much of an impact.. but credit to him for getting fit and setting a better example than he has done in the past. Hopefully it inspires a few people.. even RMAC etc.. they look fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan , Johnstone and one other . Think gabby will have to wait his chance and maybe impact sub . Edited July 6, 2017 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'm hoping McCormack and Hogan will "step up" this season more so than Gabby. I'm done (and have been for a long, long while) holding out any hope that he can ever be effective for us ever again plus he just doesn't possess the talent or skill - all he's ever really had is pace and endeavour (when he's been in the mood). For his sake though, he should be going all out to make a positive contribution (meaning goals and assists, not just running around) and leave the club on a positive note. It's way beyond time that we moved on from him and moved forwards as a club - we've needed a "new" team for ages and I am hoping that is beginning to take shape now and can develop and progress going forwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Imagine the thought Gaby gets goals and assists this season senario 1 - we go up = new 2/3 year contract senario 2 - we stay diwn = extended contract as ffp f**** us of buying a replacement Not happening though is it!

Demitri_C Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 if gabby scored 10-20 goals and got us promoted we would have no choice but to offer him a new deal. But I have a inkling that , that isn't going to happen. I just don't know why ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby has to know that if he has a bad season here, there is no club that will offer him anywhere near the wages we are giving him. He either needs to produce a great season, or realize that he will get maybe 10k a week for Wolves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
