The local lad Gabby Agbonlahor has become a fans favourite over the past few years. He is a Villa fan living the dream and he is one of only a few people in the squad who truly knows how much of a privelage it is to play for your club. I think that was the main reason for the sadness people felt for him last year when he just couldn't come up with the goods and it looked like he might be on his way out.
Thankfully for the fans and himself, he has made an amazing resurgence back to the top of his game, leaving defences quaking in their boots. He's even starting to look clinical in front of goal! 4 goals already this season tops what he made in the whole of last season, and his ability to create a goal out of nothing is something that nobody else in the squad possesses so to have him back at his best could easily gain us an extra 10 points this season.
I don't think that there is any doubt that if he can keep this form up and stay fit then he should be given a chance in the England squad, and possibly even get on the plane to the Euro's. Not only does he possess great pace and danger, but he has now also added versatility to his list of attributes which, for Capello, makes him a great addition to the squad if he is to go to the championships.
Rating - 9/10
