mikeyp102 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Just now, TRO said: for me, he did anything but chase, more walking pace as the play went past him.....was just a body to get in the way.....has a wicked free kick, but not enough to warrant a first team place. He would do well to find his level. When he was a starter agreed. But when he came on last ten minutes he would chase everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Not really been the same player since his bad injuries - I felt he had great potential but cannot see him achieving much now - madness to give him a 4 yr deal . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he is just utterly useless as a footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Have to agree. as much as everyone wanted Gardner to succeed after a promising youth career, he never lived up to expectations. think he's had an easy ride from the fans having come through the ranks but it's abundantly clear he will never hold down a first team slot at villa. good luck to him (if indeed it transpires he's leaving) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 This is why we gave a contract, get some money for him rather than allowing to leave on a free Never worked out for him after his injuries, but wish him well (as long as he doesn't be like his brother and say he is a blues fan). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 He'll probably sign at sha and declare himself a life long fan. Not even as good as his brother. Won't be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I remember Craig saying when he left us it would be to a club in the champions league. Not quite Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's taken me about half an hour to freaking work out how to like this. Agreed I felt at the time they had given him a contract to ensure a fee. I had been thinking the other day we have seen nothing of him in pre season. Not sure why he would have agreed to a contract at the time, it would surely have been better for him to see it out and go for bigger wages on a free. Anyone think he was given the impression that he was in our plans when he really wasn't? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no difference really, as long as he's gone ASAP. Never good enough for us. If we can get a fee, even better, but I'd probably release for free too, if push comes to shove.
