Kwan Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) For those who have seen him play extensively, what does he bring to the table? What makes him so good?I've seen him play a number of times at under 19"s and reserve level. Gary is a more technically gifted version of his brother Craig. He's also bigger, a bit quicker and more controlled temperamentally. Like Craig he has a good shot on him (with both feet) and his shots tend to hit the target. He is good running with the ball, and he takes a mean free kick. He always wants the ball, and doesn't go missing in matches. I don't know how his injuries will have affected his abilities, but sending him out on loan will soon reveal whether he can get back to his best. If he can, we've got a good prospect. Cheers, thanks. Hopefully he does well on loan. Edited February 12, 2014 by Kwan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah, don't think he's getting that new contract. I reckon he might get offered a deal but it will probably come down to wether or not he wants to stay here and try and make it in the first team or he might see it as a better move to maybe move to a championship team and start playing every week. Hopefully it works out for him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Long overdue. Should have moved at the start of the season. Hope he gets a run of games now anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danwichmann Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think we all agree albrighton's loan spell did him the world of good. Hopefully it will have the same effect on Gardner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hopefully he isn't going to their bench though. Do they have injuries in midfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't think we will see him in a Villa shirt again to be honest, shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyav Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't think we will see him in a Villa shirt again to be honest, shame really. I agree tbh seems ages ago when he was mooted as the next Stevie g now he's 22 times not on his side to make a standout role going the same way all our potentials go moores,byfield etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume from the fact that he has been part of the first team squad, i.e. training, travelling and occasionally on the bench, that he is in Lamberts plans. This loan is a good chance for him to get some game time and hopefully come back match fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudoz Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Personally I think kept him around the squad to see how he had recovered from his injury and try to prevent him breaking down. They must be satisfied and have subsequently sent him out on loan now they are confident that he is fit to gain some match fitness and sharpness. Hopefully the loan works out for him like Albrighton and he can come back and have an impact in our run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
