I'm glad I'm not the only one who checks the bbc gossip column the night before :oops:

They say never go back to an old club, but I think he could be very good for us. Fits the injured profile though :(

Too much of a risk just like Riggot and why sign a guy in August knowing full well he cant play until December ? If Gabbs can prove fitness then yes otherwise Id stay well clear :ayatollah:

I'm no West Ham expert but I believe he's been fit all season, apart from one minor niggle, and has played a lot of 1st team football. So hopefully he's over the groin/stomach injury that caused him so much trouble. It is also indicative of his improved fitness that he is considering playing for Wales again.

Depending on the price/wages I would suggest that Gabbidon is probably the best prospect of all those CBs we've been linked with.Woodgate is by far the best player but in Gabbidon you have a player who would stroll around the Championship even now and given he's out of contract in the summer he should be relatively cheap.

I would say go for this one, his pace at the back (even after all these years) is still way above what we currently have at CB :ayatollah:
