Daweii Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 This will be a huge blow to him.. I'd like to think Vlaar could offer him support but Vlaar was 24/25 when he did his knee, he was close to the finished article so it was just a case of getting back to fitness. Gardner is 20, he's already missed one year of development to miss another will affect his overall skill a lot. I hope for his sake that he is like his brother and gets to his best late so he still has a chance at the highest level, but he has a mountain to climb now.

Morpheus Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sad to hear this but he isn't good enough for our first team and it will give Lambert more leeway in asking Randy to invest in our squad before the window closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Just read the news. Feel awful for the kid. I expected to see more of him this season, too. The squad is still so thin, that if one or two key players go down, we're well and truly f*cked. Randy, how about some of that billion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanvilla_1994 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I don't rate him as highly as most Villa fans but Im absolutely gutted for the lad. This year might have been his year to shine under Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Terrible news for the lad. Centre midfield is another position we really need to strengthen to have a good season, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Gutted. In a weird sort of way - the fact that he hadn't shown much at first team level -led me to believe we hadn't seen the real Gary Gardner yet - so I hoped he would shine this season. Gotta be a question mark about whether he can come back from this - as this level - 2 major injuries in 3 years - gotta be 50/50 Best of Luck Fella.... Yeah same for me really.

PompeyVillan Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Gutted for him. Seems like such a nice, grounded lad. He doesn't deserve this and it could really ruin his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
