dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I was all for him coming back strong at the start of the season, I was impressed with him in short stints under Bruce and I thought there might be a Lazarus style rebirth on the cards. He scored on opening day after what, 7 minutes? The rest is history. One last rodeo 9 days from now then stick him in the bin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 If Hutton has not been offered one I think it's fair Gabby not too either. Maybe give him a testamonial at the end of the season and then cheery bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have him on the bench next week but after that only used if we have injuries. GABby has given me far more great moments in his career than Hutton but is seen as a pariah by some.

I understand your sentiment, but I guess most strikers will have that affect on fans as opposed to Full Backs......Maybe John Gidman and Kenny Swain were exceptions ( one for the old 'uns) Its all about the moment.....ones got better ,ones got worse. Gabby has tailed off in to oblivion......where as Alan Hutton is probably/Arguably playing his best football for us since he got here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hutton is a lesson to Gabby as to what might have been. Like Gabby Hutton is not the most technically gifted player but what he lacks in ability he makes up for in desire and determination. Hutton has to be one of the fittest players at the club and something that isn't often talked about one of the quickest. That doesn't happen by accident though that is because he has kept himself in top condition, trains hard and gives his all. I'd imagine Hutton will still be playing at a decent level for another five years where as Gabby, who is a couple of years younger, looks to be pretty much finished. Gabby has wasted the last 4 or 5 years and despite him applying himself in the right way under Bruce, and showing signs of having a bit of a swansong, the damage was already done and he simply can't stay fit for prolonged periods . What a waste but he only has himself to blame. Edited February 3, 2018 by markavfc40 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obanken Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Gabby to score the decisive goal to send us up, either at Millwall or the playoff-final. And forever be remembered as a derby-hero and the one who sent us up Wouldn’t that just be typical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Gabby was at his best when we had Carew, Milner, Young, Barry, Petrov. As soon as they all started to get sold off he pretty much gave up and became a total bell end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 What he has been paid by us for what he's done is ridiculous, but I don't hold that against him, same goes for nearly every footballer. Still one of my favourite players of all time. I don't look in to that one too much though. Now I'm typing it, I never thought I'd say that about anyone guaranteed to miss a 1v1 with an open net. He's had his moments though and to me there's a balance there. I think it a bit harsh not to give a testimonial to someone with over 300 games. His goal record isn't even that horrific.

To be fair mentioning Hutton in the same breath as Gidman or Swain is sacrilege. Most people hate Gabby because of th relegation season and moan about his wages yet Hutton is on a massive wedge and was just as bad when we went down. One performed to a very high standard when we were on top the other he was signed just as we declined rapidly and found his level In the Championship.

In years to come people will look back and remember him fondly for his goals and good performances rather than the other stuff. You don't remember players for the games they didn't play, that isn't what being a football fan is about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 To me it already feels like he left the club 3 years ago and all that remains is the ghost of Agbonlahor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
