sidcow Posted July 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2018 Why oh why oh why did we give him a new contract? Not anywhere close to the Gabby league of incompetent, but nevertheless money we are pissing away for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I had assumed we would sell him shortly afterwards as at least it would then have made sense. It's just a other cut in the death by a thousand cuts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 He's one of our own who has looked ok playing elsewhere in our current division and might now get another opportunity to do the same with us. He also has an "atomic strike" and who could forget that header at Small Heath and his celebrations? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have saw this strike for the U21s and elsewhere on loan but I don't think I have seen him strike a ball cleanly at VP yet. Everything is snatched, rushed and shanked. The kid hasn't got it in his mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember every time he got the ball he seemed to want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Look terrified to make a mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he wants to do so well in a Villa shirt that it may have had a negative impact upon him along with the injuries that have plagued him and our high early expectations of him. I'm hoping that he will come good this season after all he's unlikely to be too pressured for a first team place as we might not have many players left to do that by the start of the season. That might help him at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was unsaveable and thought this was a weapon in this league Have said it before he is a big Villa fan and think pressure of that is certainly playing on his mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 He's like one of them fly's that you just can't get shut of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'd rather have him in the team over Whelan at this point. Much cheaper, and has more mobility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, there have been some performances by Gardner where he made Whelan look like a marathon runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Whelan is an obviously superior player to Gary Gardner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I remember seeing a few youth matches where I could see why people were talking about him. Seen absolutely nothing in the men's divisions to suggest he is going to find his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The Religion - AVFC @AVFC_Religion FollowFollow @AVFC_Religion More Gary Gardner has NOT travelled to Portugal.

Probably not taken him on the flight due the risk of deep vein thrombosis likeable lad but not going to cut the mustard even at our level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Surely Bolton or Rotherham or someone will take a chance on bringing him in on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loan window is open until the end of the month, I'm guessing quite a few will go out on loan as the squad is way too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'm sure he'll end up on loan again, as will Tshibola and maybe Lansbury. We're well overloaded in that position now, and would be better off freeing some wages for other positions we're light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Being reported by the daily mail we are loaning him to the blosers! I am sure the blosers will love loaning one of our boys a villa fan as well haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
