Okok.. So its Gabby but this boy.. aged 22.. Is one of England's best attacking prospects since Wayne Rooney burst into the scene 5 years ago. Its been barren for England since then with only Walcott going close..
Gabriel "Gabby" Imuetinyan Agbonlahor has been at Aston Villa.. well forever.. Born in Erdington, this boy has had loan spells in clubs like Watford and Sheffield Wednesday. Both were unsuccessful. Many tipped big things about him and Luke Moore at Villa but Martin o'Neill must have been the key to his brilliance..
This season has been his best ever as he notched 13 goals in all competitions including 12 in the BPL! His returns rate on scoring may not be the best in the world averaging 0.29 goals per match. But He does get assists and also provides a lot of pace up front.
He has also thwarted the like of Man Utd and Arsenal with goals. He can be a big game player. The scary part is that he is not yet the end product as strikers usually peak at 25. Englang called him up this season though it has to be said that his criticism is his lack of fitness as he started to cool as the season went into its latter stages just like the rest of his small Villa team.This however is a key learning area for the lad.
he has mostly featured for England at u21 levels rather effectively but has yet to prove himself big enough for the senior team only gaining 2 caps with 0 dividence there. In his defence they were not easy games but lets hope for more from this boy next season in the international arena. He was also eligible to play for Nigeria and Scotland before this. Lets hope, much unlike players like James Beattie and Micheal Bridges he proves a big player for England
Kudos to Gabby..
