HanoiVillan Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 He wasn't terrible (nobody could have been against that opposition) but I got a bit tired of his frequent passes just behind the recipient. A 6/10 performance. If that is his last game, at least it was a good victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Didn't see the game so can't judge his performance but quality ball for Adomah that lead to Hogan's first goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2017 Interest from Barnsley Quote to take the 25-year-old on loan for the rest of the season and are closing in on a move. Gardner has been told by boss Steve Bruce that he can leave and a number of clubs have shown an interest. However, it’s the Tykes who look set to land the middle man who has fallen down the pecking order this season. Hope this works out as we need bodies out the door.

Phumfeinz Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Why on earth did we give him a new contract? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 He is one of our own, always tried his best and had a good attitude. Hampered by injuries and didn't kick on from being a promising player. I wish him all the best and thanks for the goal in the derby! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's purely about getting the wage off the bill. As usual we must be paying him more than any other team is willing to as no one will pay us a transfer fee or put his wages on their bill long term. Should have just let his deal expire. I really cannot understand why we didn't. He is so surplus to requirements that he's only visible with powerful binoculars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Good luck to the guy, but I'm glad his time here looks to be over. Sometimes at night I still wake up in a cold sweat, muttering about our dynamic midfield duo of Gardner and Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It is not that no one wants him because of his salary. It is just that he is not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wezbid Posted September 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Haha, remember one of the goals against Wigan when people were asking who played a magnificent 70 yard pass to set up the assist, ready to heap praise in them. Then the answer was Gardner and nobody responded or said just what quality it actually was. That in a nut-shell defines a lot of what I read on here. I don't think he's good enough for a team expected to push for a title and then consolidate in the Prem. The large/long new deal was stupid. 2/3 years I could sort of understand but Bruce barely played him after he signed the new deal. We'd have saved more not offering a long deal and letting him go for a fair price. None of this is Gardner's fault however and there was a promising player in there, Forest fans rate him from what I've read. He's not deserving of some of the comments on here. Have some grace about yourselves. He's a solid Championship midfielder, it may not be good enough for what we require but it's not deserving if some of the tripe offered his way either. Without the injuries and therfore no consistency of football over the important years of his development we may have had the player we hoped. It wasn't to be. All the best Gardner from me.
