Gabriel almost definitely” moving on this transfer window

TANGERINETOWERPOWER said:
Who could blame him for moving on …first Critchley preferred Turton to him and now cj Hamilton…ludicrous he can barely get a game and I guess he will command a decent fee…I’d sell him and apter and try and get all four loan players in on permanents…and before anyone says we can’t get Dembele let’s at least give it a go and test his club with a decent bid…I’m sure he’s enjoyed it here and who knows

If true I think you will find JG wants a move in which case Critch relying on the folk that want to stay.

Critch seems incredibly fair minded to me, whatever faults he may have. Managing a squad can sometimes mean not pandering to lads who think they can make personal demands.

It’s not about pandering, but leaving your best players on the bench, whilst favouring weaker squad members. Jerry was a good example of that, Kenny and now Gabriel. Wanting to play is not making personal demands.
 
You can tell its coming up to silly season.

"My Aunt's next door neighbours dog knows one of the players and they say 'insert name here' isn't happy and they're off"
You have to believe him as he's ITK😉 but can't reveal his source 🤣🤣🤣

It’s knowing you can do a better job than players picked & not performing. Would we rather have players happy to take a wage and sit on the bench, no.

Yes that fine, but it depends how you behave, and we don't know. We are just sat behind keyboards, we don't see the whole picture, or even much of it.

Believe it or not people do speak to other people in the real world
 
So potentially our team next year is
Grimshaw (if he stays)
Moore
Pennington
Husband (if he stays)
CJ
Norburn
Carey
Morgan
Apter
Beesley
Kouassi
Virtue
Lyons (when fit)
Casey (if he stays)



They maybe able to tempt one or two to stay but it’s likely that Lavery marv and Connelly will all leave. It will be interesting seeing if that squad can stay up never mind make the play offs. We really need to aim higher and look at signing some quality which involves spending money. Then again many on here are happy with the little old Blackpool mindset.
 
Presume he's not out of contract and a fee will apply?
He has pace and aggression - and sometimes a 50p-shaped foot, but I wish he'd stay.
Another one dicked about by NC - and FFS, playing CJ ahead of him when both are fit is farcical.
 
I think he is an excellent overlapping full back but Critchley doesn't seem to want to play with full backs. He doesn't look totally comfortable in the wingback roll so he may want to go somewhere that doesn't play 3 at the back. Shame though because he's one of my favourite players. Should command a decent fee though if he goes

I dont blame him for wanting out. If I had CJ Hamilton being played out of position ahead of me every week, I'd want gone as well. Shame as Gabriel has always had a good attitude and I still believe that a run of games would have shown how good he actually is. We probably won't even get our money back for him. Wouldn't surprise me if he's at one of the established Championship teams in a few years time.

He is at least championship standard. Allowing him to leave would be a major mistake .

I’ve heard apparently Critch and Connolly had some sort of falling out. Same as you though, got to take with a pinch of salt.

My mate once made up a rumour about BFC and within a day it was on AVFTT!
The crap that must be spouted about the club which is pure nonsense is why you should take any rumour with a pinch of salt.

Sadler is putting 5m in each season. Where is the money you want to spend coming from?

Spending money does not guarantee success . Look at Reading Derby etc spent fortunes same division as us.
 
We paid a decent fee for JG and we’ve not had a good return on our investment with only 15 starts per season. If we can recoup a high percentage of his fee then I’d take it and invest in other areas of the squad.

He’s a good player and a likeable character but not irreplaceable. He doesn’t make a huge impact going forward and is prone to the odd defensive mistake but he’ll obviously be the new Cafu if he does leave.
 
Lanc_seasider said:
He isn’t one of our best players. He’s mastered the Delfouneso last player to leave the pitch clapping gig and as a result people believe he’s better than he is. He’s a ‘attacking full back’ who doesn’t provide anything really going forward, and is far from assured defensively even at league 1 level.

He’s by no stretch a bad player, but I don’t believe it’ll be a big miss and is pretty easily replaceable. For the record, I don’t think CJ is the answer. But if we’re prepared to let him go there must be a suitor prepared to pay decent money, he’s probably one of our higher earners, so I personally wouldn’t be standing in his way.

Exactly. Too much sentiment towards a player who is obviously a really nice bloke. I agree with your assessment as a player, he's OK but has quite a few shortcomings and is injury prone.

How is he injury prone. He’s had 2 serious injuries in succession. That’s just unlucky. I call players that have repeated muscle issues as injury prone.

He’s been fully fit to play and there isn’t a better RB in L1 and probably not many better in the Championship. Pace, huge energy, strong, incredible in the air.

Because his knees seem to be made of glass?

I’m not sure I believe those figures but that is a different topic..you don’t take on a football club and expect to spend no money…plus we will have income from players sold and there must be some left over from Yates Bowler and Critchley compensation. We have chronically underinvested in the last two seasons and started each season weaker than the previous one…at this rate we will continue to go backwards and at some point investment in the team has to be a priority over a pie in the sky training ground. Still as you very rarely go to any games then you will have no issue with the standard of football declining year on year and we can fulfill the little old Blackpool billing.

The accounts show all the incoming and outgoing money including transfer fees, and after all that Sadler is putting 5m in. So you don't even understand the basics.

Knee issues can happen to anyone, with or without contact and sometimes doing the most routine things. They don’t require an inherent muscular weakness, for example hamstring tightness. Happened to me and my knees are not made of glass.

Some people are more prone to knee injury than others. Two serious knee injuries and surgeries at the age of 25 isn't great and will surely leave his knees weaker for it. Maybe this is why he's not getting as much game time as he'd like?

Actually knees are stronger after ACL, that’s what my surgeon told me. I think JG fell off a stool first time, then got his foot caught in the turf second time around. He doesn’t seem to be struggling or to have lost pace. He’s still jumping Ronaldo like for headers, which is a sure sign his knees are ok.

He’s a class player and with our budget, we cannot replace him with better.
 
I think you have to assess what the club have got for there investment, Gabriel cost £700.000+. He's averaged 15 games each season according to what is said on here. Whatever your views are of the player its not a great investment, his current stock value will be good therefore I would let him go now and re invest and move on.

Why would he want to stay though if he's just going to sit on the bench? I know he's in contract until effectively 2026, but Sadler and Critchley have both made it clear in their time here that if a player doesn't want to be here then they will let them go. Critchley has also made it clear in interviews that he's building a squad to fit 3-5-2 and obviously he doesn't rate Gabriel in that formation as he has CJ playing out of position ahead of him. I do agree that letting him leave would be a major mistake, but it's one that's most likely going to happen.

Gabriel's worth on TransferMarkt is $1m, his contract is until 2025 with the club option for another year.

Whoever wants him better be ready to pay.

No way do we get £1m for him. Be lucky to get £500k in the current transfer market. Everyone's skint, especially at this level, and what Championship club is going to want to spend £1m on a RB that cant even get into our team. This is why I said before, we will be lucky to get our money back for him.

Two years left, 500k minimum.
 
I think Gabriel has been average at best this season. I wouldn't be disappointed to see him go tbh.
Guarantee wherever he goes he won't play more than half the season.
