James Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 Sounds an exciting signing but will, for me, be slightly soured if we let JRod go tomorrow. Welcome Gabbi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy9143 Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 Some Italian acquaintances think he's garbage - will keep an open mind. NB: Is it that better Dibden/Jeffrey? I have an Italian friend who follows football very closely and is an illustrator for a couple of football magazines, and this is what he said when I asked if Gabbiabini was any good. "Before going to Napoli he as one of the most talented young strikers in Italy. Then he found Higuain his way! He is a very good player in my opinion. Good technique, maybe just a little weak psychologically speaking...but when he played he always scored" This was written verbatim from my what's app message so if you know better fine, but don't shoot the messenger.

St Marco Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 Some Italian acquaintances think he's garbage - will keep an open mind. NB: Is it that better Dibden/Jeffrey? He isn't garbage. He is a decent player but he is having a really bad season. Most people here who I speak to don't rate him because he is pretty lazy. My point of view is the money we are offering is way off what he is worth. He isn't a goal scoring machine so I find it baffling as that is what we really need. We missed a trick on Pavoletti. Who would have been perfect for us. But he looks as though he will be replacing Gabbi at Napoli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
