TheStagMan Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Agreed, WHATEVER happens this season he should not get a new contract. Hopefully at the end of this season we will have been promoted and will be a premier league team - Gabby is not good enough at that level. What I would like to see is a decent return from him this coming season as payback for what he owes us, meaning that he can finish his Villa career on a high and piss off into the sunset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 If he scored 20+ goals, I'd extend his contract by 12 months in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I hoped hogan would start after his performance last week and goals with green and Elmo creating - gabby had chances and fluffed them - story of the last few years really . Hogan is a better finisher than gabby and I'd much prefer him against hull as I have little faith in gabby finishing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted July 30, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2017 He had a great chance in the first half, nobody around me even moved in their seat so low were peoples expectations that he would score. He is trying, he is back in shape but he just isn't a very good player. That he is currently starting ahead of Hogan infuriates and concerns me in equal measures. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so it should concern us all - did Bruce not see enough in January to realise this? The back in shape stuff is just a given for any pro at this time of the year and does not warrant any specific praise in my view - the fact remains as you rightly point out - he's not a good footballer player imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's wait and see the starting line up next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly relaxed thanks and fully aware it's a friendly. You will also notice I used the word 'currently' in my post to denote the fact I was talking about in the present rather than the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just about giving as many players a run out as possible. Try not to let It 'infuriate' you man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that finishing skills discriminate between a friendly or competitive game tbh - Trent is right on this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
