Nah he was never good enough, even at his best he was never a top striker. Relied on his pace to make up for his lack of talent and football brain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The truth is I would have loved us to have a Gabby from 2008-2010. He was a bit like Grealish in that he was a Villa product and we all had high hopes for him. I miss that Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 im not sure how instagram works but part of his story or whatever bollocks it is came up showing he had run 5km in 24mins something earlier today I'm quicker than that... The park run by me on a saturday morning will be won by someone doing 5km in 16mins, i know long distance isn't his thing but come on thats really poor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, for a supposed "athlete" 24mins is crap for 5km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Premier League players run on average 9km a game so 5km over 24 minutes really isnt that bad. I obviously expect he is very untrained when it comes to jogging compared to his positional running as a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it would have turned him into a top striker but might have stopped him being a big, fat waste of space milking us of millions of pounds. He could have gone to a mid-table premier league side and scored 10-15 goals a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 You only have to watch this video to see where it all went wrong. He is pretty much the same age as Vardy, and I am not being funny but I genuinely think I am quicker and sharper than he is in that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) So is it true I wonder that Gabby got in touch after he left and offered to play for us for free. He says he was in a dark place after he left and got his agent to get in touch with bruce to volunteer his services. I myself can not understand why bruce wouldn't of took him up on this, I actually feel for Gabby, especially when it was at a time we needed a striker. I'll be honest my feelings towards bruce has changed big time, how could anyone be like the way he has been towards our players, knowing we needed a striker and one of our own as well who offered his services as free. I have deffo lost any of the respect I had for bruce that I had left, I bet gabby was heartbroken the way that he left our club. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/i-been-bad-place-gabby-15298250 Edited October 18, 2018 by Dave-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't expect a club to just pay him a fortune for several years for bugger all output then expect us to take him back because he's feeling sorry for himself.
