Is Gabby Agbonlahor the most stupid player in the Premier League?

[Pavilionaire]

Smoking a shisha pipe in March was bad. Putting on a stone in weight and being unfit to make the matchday squad is very bad. But partying in the Mayfair Hotel on Saturday night hours after Villa were relegated is surely the end for him?

The media is today reporting that Gabby Agbonlahor faces the wrath of Aston Villa supporters after being pictured 'on a laughing gas and booze binge' just hours after the club were relegated from the Premier League. The 29-year-old striker, who has scored just one league goal this season, was reportedly partying with friends at London's Mayfair Hotel on Saturday night.

The hotel room in which Agbonlahor and friends were allegedly staying in was pictured littered with gas canisters, thought to contain the legal high nitrous oxide.

He is a one-club man, a local boy, an England international and Villa legend. He could have lived off that status for the rest of his life, yet he's thrown it all away. And not only that but who would sign him now? If he's lucky and knuckles down he might get a few games for Coventry or Walsall. Just unbelievable.

He's an absolute, grade-A bellend. Spectacularly disrespectful to all the Villa fans that have had to endure the dogshit they have served up this season.

Well he has competition for most stupid. He has however wasted what could have been a great career. No way back at this stage for him I fear.

I was thinking of starting a thread on Villa but let's carry on with this one. I see that two directors Mervyn King and David Bernstein resigned yesterday - only months after joining. How could the club let two people of their experience, nous and contacts leave?

I've seen badly-run clubs in my time but I can't recall ANY club where the business and administration side is in a mess; the managerial side is in a mess and there are players like Agbonlahor and Lescott doing pretty much as they please. Normally one part of the triangle is trying to get things sorted but it's like a free-for-all there.

Why on earth would any manager or player with any self-respect want to go there?

It would appear that he doesn't care about any of that legend stuff, the one-club-man business and all that.

And I would imagine that his bank balance will allow him not to care, in luxurious comfort, for the rest of his life.

Horrible attitude, horrible man.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

He is certainly not doing what is expected of him

But there is surely the potential that something else is going on here. He has had a year of weird acting after what looked like an unblemished career.

I know his Mrs kicked him out, maybe he is struggling with that? These guys aren't saints, many of us would probably have a few drinks and try and forget if things went badly for us at work, and he probably wasn't expecting these pictures/stories to get out

 

[MattBackHome]

who would sign him now?

QPR?

Moyes does.

But then I suppose when you fail and walk away with a pocket full of cash for your trouble they won't be short of takers.

Agbonlahor could, and should, have been a much better player than he is.

Whilst I have every confidence in the powers that be at BHA, the possibility of employing such CJTCs is my only reservation regarding reaching the PL.

 

[sydney]

he has always had a few things going against him .....apparently not very sharp at all and now this would seem to be verified.....if he was a honky we could call him white trash .....he's a nailed on knob and will probably end up sharing a bench with hendrie and gazza.....if gazza sticks around long enough...

 

[sydney]

QPR?

forest...?

One-club players who play 300+ games often end up either as a Club Ambassador or as a TV pundit, or both. He could have been the Villa go-to guy in the same way that Sky use Phil Thompson for Liverpool or Matt Le Tissier for Southampton, he could have been an ambassador like Gary Mabbutt for Spurs or Geoff Hurst for West Ham. The fact that he's black and TV companies try and get a racial balance would also have been in his favour.

When the loan window was open and Agbonlahor wasn't getting a game for Villa I had a look at his stats and they are shocking over the last couple of seasons, and the bloke hasn't even turned 30 yet.

If he's lucky he'll find a manager like Leon Best has done in Neil Warnock at Rotherham that might kick-start his career, or he could go the way of Carlton Cole and sign for a "big" club like Celtic, then disappear without trace.

On the plus side, players THAT stupid tend to make really dumb financial investments on the say-so of so-called friends, and end up skint earlydoors. Here's hoping anyways.

Gabby's game relied on his pace, that has gone now and he has stopped scoring as a result, he's still a decent finisher but can't get ahead of the last man.

Wouldn't surprise me to see him move to US and try and rejuvenate his career like Defoe did. Will most likely slide into oblivion though.

 

[Hiney]

Classic example of a player who cares more about the pounds (the £ type AND the lb type) than he does about the badge.

 

[Megazone]

he's still a decent finisher .

317 apps, 73 goals suggests not.

You haven't heard Agbonlahor SPEAK, have you Pav?

 

[Brian Fantana]

Now been suspended by the club, AGAIN.

 

[Megazone]

He must be laughing gassed.
