Pardew bought him, and he still tries to justify the signing.
He was sold by Man Utd because he failed to make the grade, and it's been the same at St James' Park. He missed a sitter against Leeds on Wednesday!Pardew: “At times Gabby has come in for a bit of stick here.“But his pace is still a real asset to us – especially when we take the lead.“He can come off the bench and stretch teams.“He came off the bench against Leeds, and could have had a couple of goals.“Gabby’s desperate to do well here.“That was nice to have that option (against Leeds).“We have more options now. I have to be able to make changes.”
